RE: Balancing Steemit with a Full-Time Job: How? Why?
This is so true. Even for me. I was working a full time job that suddenly became considerably LESS than full time. Yet, it's like I'm still in the 'busy' mindset. I'm spending literally ALL day on Steemit, either curating (which I totally LOVE), commenting or creating quality posts. I still feel like I'm not putting out the amount of quality work that I could be in this amount of time.
I'm also often stuck in the old paradigm of,
the rewards for sharing never (goes) beyond popularity and followers.
It's almost like I feel GUILTY just reading posts and curating/upvoting. Like somehow I've wasted time. I KNOW I haven't, but it's still a feeling I'm trying to overcome.
Yesterday, for instance, I had a short hour-long lunch meeting and had to do home things (laundry, cleaning, tending the four-leggeds), so technically PLENTY of time to post. But did I?
Nope.
Why? No idea. I spent a lot of time just reading really great posts instead of working on one.
Honestly, I think that's pretty important too.
Thanks for the thoughts (honey 😍).
We're all in this together!
Thats true we should be engaging on steemit in more ways than just posting all the time!
Yep. We gotta do it all. I mostly am using work time for curation, home time for creating posts.

-ancient Steemian proverb
This is more important than posting for the long run. Posting is necessary for building reputation.
Yes. Indeed.
P.S. Your avatar is rockin'. 😍
Thank you very much :)
Yes! It's actually my favorite part. Truth be told... I loved Facebook (like years ago). I really thought it could be a place that we could all thrive, interact AND make money (by using it to advertise ourselves, not by Facebook paying us.)
I LOVE that the Steemit community is just that; a community. Sure there are lots of folks that are not using it in the way it was intended, but I think there are enough of us that DO CARE and want it to succeed.
By building relationships with folks we get even more invested in wanting to help them succeed. And with Steemit we CAN reward each other. It's so awesome.
