Do you think that if you were falling in space… that you would slow down after a while, or go faster and faster?

For example, if you push yourself to update your comic three times a week, manage it for three months, then blow out your wrists and end up taking half a year off to recover, in the end you produced the same number of updates over that total span as you would have if you’d just stuck to once a week to begin with.

Any understanding of your output over time must take into account time spent recovering from injury and burnout. If you ask whether pushing yourself to the breaking point actually increased your overall output once that downtime has properly been factored in, the answer is almost invariably going to be “no”.
