The main thing is to keep the main thing a main thing. - Stephen R. Covey

It's been a bit wild on Steem lately, and focus hasn't been our biggest strength.

We spent a lot of energy on putting out a blaze where we didn't want it, instead of lighting a fire where it should be.

Is this something to worry about? Not at all.

They say that all great changes are preceded by chaos, so maybe that's why we have to get through it.

There's definitely more value in a product that has passed several stages of development - even though they included a couple of setbacks -, than in a product that has been completely stagnant for a longer period of time.

Hardfork 20 will bring several great changes, and some of them will even pave the way for new features such as Hivemind (my absolute favorite btw).

In about an hour and a half we'll be switching over to the new protocol.

Be aware of the fact that not everything may be working perfectly right after the switch.

Get yourself busy and don't drama :-)

Slow down your blockchain activity, and meet some nice surfers instead

It's not very recommendable to post the hell out of the blockchain right after a hardfork in general.

In this specific case of HF20, especially those with a smaller amount of SP should try to control their fingers on the keyboard.

As @exyle explained in "Don't go too mental with voting/posting after the hard fork hits", you should be carefully dosing your blog posts, votes, comments and transactions as they will have an impact on the resource credits system.

After the RC system goes live, the user experience will have to change and the new system will need time to reach a new equilibrium. - @steemitblog

The good news: there are other possibilities to engage with like-minded people in the Steem community.

The surfers on Steem have just launched their own discord server; if you want to join us, let me know! 🤙

Remember: Calm is the ultimate weapon against challenges.
