Why You’re Burning Out (And The Counter-Intuitive Fix)

f you’ve ever felt completely knackered by the creative grind, or you’re wondering how to bridge the gap between "good" and "world-class," this episode is for you. Today I’m chatting with Alejandro Mejia (aka RMA Design). He’s an absolute beast in the motion design world, having worked on titles for Marvel’s Loki, the Super Bowl, and massive concert visuals for artists like Maluma. But here’s the twist: Alejandro started his life as a pro water skier. We dive deep into how he transferred the discipline of elite sports psychology into his design career. We talk about the very real dangers of burnout—specifically his time at Prologue where the "never-ending grind" led to him losing his passion. If you’re sitting there thinking, "I just need to work harder," you might be barking up the wrong tree. We also uncover a fascinating "cheat code" for productivity: Why working on multiple projects might actually be faster and healthier than obsessing over just one. Expect no waffle, just straight-up insights on mastering your mental game. In this episode, you’ll learn: 🌊 The Athlete’s Edge: How Alejandro used a sports psychologist to master the "70% mental" game of competition and applied it to design. 🔥 Redefining Burnout: It’s not just about being tired; it’s about losing the desire to create. We discuss the warning signs (like when a 2-hour task takes all day). 🚀 The Multi-Project Hack: Why Alejandro and I both believe that bouncing between two projects (or a passion project) prevents mental blocks and speeds up workflow. 🎨 Beyond "Pretty" Images: Why AI can make things look nice, but only you can add the meaningful storytelling that clients actually care about. 🧠 Technical Entry Points: How mastering the technical side of 3D can be your "foot in the door" to working with legends like Karen Fong.
