RE: Valuable Reminders for Maintaining Mental Health on Steemit
Great read thanks:). ...Balance is key. Like everything in life if you if you tip the scales in one direction to much the weight becomes to heavy. It is hard when something new and exciting comes along all you want to do is pursue it 24/7. Burning out happens without even knowing it has. Time management is also important, because time is limited. If you keep the balance by removing your ass from the chair and do other constructive things like exercise,clean the house, or go for a walk in the park and smoke a joint you will find that your actual time blogging will become more productive. When you get to the stage you are staring at the screen not knowing what to write , it is time to get up and go do something constructive.
You know exactly what's happening lol. Staring stupid at the screen not knowing what to write.. or even worse, to hit publish or not. I'm gonna start giving myself a time-limit for Steemit from today onward. I think I've been spending at least an average of 12 hours a day on Steemit since the day I joined 6 weeks ago. I'm probably planning a year-long trip.. be mobile, and always do what I wanted.. see more of the world :)
I develope Avatars for a virtual world. Back when i started i was living in a house out from the city no neighbours just me and my dogs. I would sometimes spend more than 24 hours on the pc just consumed with the need to create. It took around 6 months and a few comments about the way i looked before i made a change. I realized that with the proper balance, in my case i started a lot of exercise and long walks with the dogs, that any time i spent on the pc became 50% more productive than before.
"I'm probably planning a year-long trip.. be mobile, and always do what I wanted.. see more of the world :)"....That is the beauty of working online, if you have no family commitments you can get up and go travel and just blog your way from city to city:)..
Now i'm thinking.. how the hell do i start to travel with my best friend (a dog!). I don't think it's that easy.. he's the only commitment that I have atm :)
Yeah that isn't easy. I travelled around Australia with my 2 German Shepherds and that was difficult, but internationally is a whole different ball game, you couldn't really do it because of quarantine. You might have to find yourself a well trusted dog sitter. Some of the the dog sitters can be awesome, but i recommend a very intensive vetting first. I used one dog sitter for a few years but ended up going with family . When i was living in Australia i would get my Mum to come over from New Zealand and take care of them while i went traveling, it is nice to know your dogs which are like family are in trusted hands.
