Unfortunate the disruption in our engagement here @newageinv, but my full-time job and family responsibilities come first, including needing to leave for work yesterday (and again this morning, in a little bit …). Unavoidable, at least for now.

” It has been tough to keep up to be truthful and recognize it is not sustainable …”

Sustainable. That is certainly my key word. Coming to terms with how much time on Steem I can realistically invest. $$ are one thing. Time is quite another. Last summer, I knew the time and effort I was putting in then “in here” had too high a price tag on the impact on my life “out there.”

With that said, I am still honestly working on establishing a “rhythm” to what I am doing. After almost 7 months, it is still somewhat a “work-in-progress.

”… adjust going forward by ensuring that my time is spent where value is added and for me that is motivating users with great content and educating newer users as well as supporting minnows to be.”

You are doing a great job on this, from my perspective. For which you should be commended. Do you find your interaction with new Steemians results in much dialog with them? That holds up over time?

My focus has been on the PIFC Community, but have been trying to figure out a different “rhythm,” so I can invest at least some time with brand new Steemians. Haven’t really got there yet …
