Friction Between Creativity and Responsibility

I can understand why the creative type of person would eventually find themselves tempted to separate themselves from society, because it comes more and more evident to me that pressures of responsibilities have a two fold detrimental affect on creativity. First, they simply take time - that's as simple as it gets. Secondly, because they take so much time and energy/attention they drain a person to a point of involuntariness. So much to do during the day that by the end of it all, a person is so exhausted they'd rather veg than have to refocus their mind on yet another task, even if that task is something they'd typically enjoy.
