Create when you are energetic. Consume when you are bored. A lot of people making use of library and the video sites when they are bored. A lot of people who have energy or want to do something create things when they can. This seems to be the recipe of doing vs consuming as per your energy levels. If you don't create then your body gets habit of consumption only and gets bored more. If you only create and not consume then your body gets burned out and bored too. So having balance of both always helps out. Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/9m1V6A8Fm-A
