Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Backlog of shame)
I'm posting this post again a touch early, as it has been a busy couple of weeks, and while I'm waiting for the baby to fall asleep, I'm going to write this post. Thus, I will have time afterwards to watch a movie or play a game or do something like that!
I guess I was asking for trouble when I asked for podcast recommendations last week. I lost one podcast, and I've gained quite a few more.... but there were soooo many interesting sounding ones!
The Background
As we have a finite number of hours in the day and a seemingly infinite number of tasks to fit into it, we have to prioritise the things that we want to do. Now, this leads to a backlog of tasks that should be done, but aren't immediate priority until the moment that are urgent priorities. They can range from the mundane to the hyper critical if disaster strikes.
So, for this SBI giveaway, just drop a comment and describe your backlog of shame.
My personal backlog of shame
My currently lowly prioritised tasks are:
See that garage, it needs tidying again... every year, this seems to happen, we dump stuff out of the house and into the garage.
I really need to teach my wife how the to access the crypto savings.... again.
I have over 1000 games in my Steam library, I need to play and complete more of them!
Life insurance. I don't plan on dying tomorrow, but my mother keeps nagging me...
It has hit summer, and last summer I was talking about getting another trellis for this grapevine....
So, there you go. My mix of mundane and potentially critical tasks that have been sitting on my to-do list for waaaaaayyyyyyy too long. Hopefully by the end of summer, I will have done at least 1 or 2 of these (preferably number 3!)
Rules
- Upvote if you want, it increases the payout and then I can hopefully sponsor more people.
- Resteem is NOT neccessary, but the more people see this, the more the people will be likely to be sponsored.
- In the comments, describe your to-do list of shame (or maybe you don't have one?)
- I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in SBD. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is by random generator after a shortlisting of quality comments!
Steem Basic Income
One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a beginning author, Steemit can be a daunting place. It feels like you are posting into an abyss with no ability to grow. Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but cumulative over time support to your account.
With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people).
Last week's winners
Last week's post paid out a bit under 2 SBD (I will need to double check when the post pays out in a couple of hours), so I'll be sponsoring 2 shares.
I've stuck all the valid entries in a random list picker (afraid you'll have to trust me on that) and the winners are:
Congratulations, I will set up the sponsorship as soon as the last post pays out.

Rip I didn’t win
Thanks for your sponsorship, as always!
For those who didn't win, I'm still offering one share for a newbie (under about 100 SP) who reads my fiction and asks me a question which causes me to write an "Ask the Author" post.
Congrats, and thanks for sponsoring the plankton!
Nice one, good idea!

Thank you so much @bengy! :D !!
I won't be entering this one, but I just wanted to say:
Oh man! I understand that one completely. I have games in my Steam that I bought on various sales, or thanks to Humble Bundles, and I just never found the time to even check them out. It's terrible.Congrats on the win!
Thank you! :D
I know, and then the sales come and there are some that are way too cheap to pass up! I've really cut back on buying these days though... Even still, there is a giant backlog.

Ha ha, Yes we have boxes in the attic from when we moved into this house... Obviously nothing critical, but it will be a surprise when we open them!

My personal backlog of shame???
I have several jars of homemade mincemeat in the cupboard that I keep meaning to find a non-Christmasy recipe for... (Never quite had the energy to do mincemeat pies in December.)
I have a pile of sewing that needs to be done - but some of that needs to wait until we've moved and I have a little more space to sit at my sewing machine comfortably. (Not to mention the fact that I really need to Google how to do button holes on that machine - I understand it can... (It's a "vintage" 1977 machine, so it wasn't a guarantee it could!)
Cleaning always takes a back seat when there are so many better things to be doing with my time.
Reading unfortunately - I never quite have both the time and the quiet around here to do much reading - and I'm working on my writing so much...
I really need to get on the phone and make some doctor appointments now that my husband's schedule seems to be getting more regular - but I HATE the phone - almost to a phobic level - so it gets put off... :-p
Maybe that's enough for now.
Ah, mincemeat, I took a while to realise that you meant fruit (I hope...). I know mincemeat as what you probably call ground meat, which would be pretty gross after nearly half a year!
Yes. Mincemeat, in the British sense - (raisins and other fruits, preserved in suet) - as opposed to "beef mince" (their term for what Americans call "ground beef")

I could go on for hours about that backlog of shame:
Well, it seems that covers all of life in general there!
Haha

This is one of my unfettered messy handwritten to do lists, I have so many of these, some crossed out others still on the shameful to do list.
Awww, but I've seen part of your "done" list and it's quite impressive!
Haha ahh yes my dreams list. I just looked at this one and there is more I could removed lol but i have another book with new stuff on it. It never ends lol.
At least you have it in a book! Mine are scratched on the back of used envelopes.
Looks like your problem is just stuff in general. Sell stuff, sort stuff, take stuff, put stuff...
This was bisy the list I could find. The treaty have been cleaned up as you can see by this list. Cleaning is the theme of the month. Lol.
