The Worst Thing because of Steemit

That is a difficult question since I can't say that much negative has happened. I have encountered a few people who haven't been too nice. For the most part, I have been able to stay away from the negative forces on this platform.

The worst, I think, is that I am spending way too much time on this platform with the hope that Steem is going to be quite valuable some day and the work I put in now will be very profitable.

I probably should spend less time here and concentrate more on other enterprises. Promote my podcast more, do more affiliate sales and such.

The other bad impact - related to the same theme - is that being on the computer means sitting way more than I am used to. That, I am actively changing. I used to never sit down during the day. Now, I spend hours in front of the computer. Don't know if my wallet balance is really justification enough for doing that.

I saw this post yesterday but had no idea what I'd write because nothing 'bad' has happened to me since I joined Steemit 100 days ago. Oh, gosh. I SHOULD do up a celebration post, right? ;)

But if I did have anything 'bad' to say, it would be similar to what you wrote as @fitinfun said.... spending way too much time here and neglecting other projects.

Thanks for writing it for us too, @mariannewest. ;)

You are welcome. And look at us - spending time on Steemit again lol

We almost wrote the same post. I want to get my books published now. What is wrong with me?

Me too, @fitinfun! On both counts plus the question! ;)

But it IS so much fun here.

I think we share that plight with many others. I am trying block scheduling now. 2 hours Steemit, 2 hours garden, 5 minutes housework lol

Oh the garden could go nuts without you! Hey - I did not know you could use thundercurator more them once a day. Do you put all your posts on it?

No, I wasn't sure if that was okay because he had said that some people are abusing the service. So, I asked and he said to go ahead. But truthfully, I forget sometimes....

Maybe I will start going each 12 hours. I already do one for me and one for Caleb each 24 hours when I do qustodian - I don't want to kill this golden goose!

I hear you lol

Quite true. I now spend a lot of time on my computer steeming instead of focusing on other stuffs.
Anyways, please check this out and i will appreciate your vote @hermannsol
