    Greetings, are you someone who is burnt out or on the verge of burning out? If so, this thread is meant to help you! Let's try a few things to see if it can't help.

    1. Reduce down to 1 thread or no thread. You will be pressured to reply if you have threads you constantly worry about having to reply to.
    2. Chat threads are really casual and can provide quite a bit of character building.
    3. Participate in monthly events. They tend to be very casual mini games that don't require much commitment.
    4. Join events when they are up, we usually announce events in advance so schedule your time around that.
    5. But most importantly, pace yourself!

    Tip #1

    This is credited to @Zero.

    Basically, what you do is to write the post in a sentence, and then work on converting that sentence into a paragraph, which includes all the details and whatnot. I tried it out and I genuine really like it since I sometimes meander in my post or can't figure out where I am going with it.

    Nice job, Zero!

    Tip #2

    If you ever find yourself in a rhythm where you are replying to specific thread in a specific order every day, find a way to end them. An RP routine is never a good thing. Rather, communicate with your partner and try to keep story line short so you can experience more things.

    Books, anime, and manga also do this via side-stories, arcs, and chapters so they don't focus on one topic for too long, TS similarly provide a lot of variety so do different things.

    Maybe get your feet wet and RP with someone new in a 3-cycles thread that has a clear conclusion!
