Day Off
Yesterday was my first real day off of Steemit in probably 10 months. No post, no comments, no curating, and no creating new material. I am a full time Steemian since the start of this year, so I spent a lot of time either on Steemit, or creating something for Steemit.
Everyone probably knows that Steemit was down pretty much 24 hours, so the ”day off” was not my decition initially. Though I could have used the time by doing photography and creating new material for when the site gets back on. Instead I decided it’s finally time to take a day off. For real.
Damn it felt goooood!
I was spending time with my family, watched almost a full season of the Walking Dead, knitted wool socks and ate a lot. I am gonna continue the same thing today, because I’m at the countryside relaxing, but I’m just gonna work in a little Steemit time too.
I usually get a little stressed if I haven’t posted or don’t have anything ready for a post, so even when I’m not on Steemit, I think about it a lot. Previously I would have gotten anxious when seeing Steemit down and not knowing when it’s back on, but knowing there is a hardfork coming, I was expecting something like this to happen.
For the past 24 hours, I left Steemit alone all together. It’s not like the world is gonna end if I don’t post on one day. But in general, I am, and I need to be, quite strick with myself that I keep posting actively, at least twice a day. I’m a lazy fucker and if I start slacking here and there, it will soon turn into having a day off every week, and then having to get a real job soon. And nobody wants that, except my mom.
Even when I decided to have a proper day off, my mind never fully stops. I did write a few ideas down, but I stopped myself from writing drafts. I would have probably done some photography but the weather was down right depressing, dull grey and rainy all day. Wonderful excuse to take the day off.
Today I woke up a little earlier to a bit brighter day and I feel refreshed. Though I am dirty and I need to go get some firewood now so I can heat up the sauna in the evening.
lol, yup!
I went to the pull and lay in the sun, until the thunder arrived. But i also spent some time in the witness chats trying to learn something :/
Interesting to see how professional like relationship people created with steemit, thats something new for me and it is weird to observe at the same time. By the way every mom is programmed to be a job wisher for her child I guess cause it seems pretty universal.
I'm doing it and I'm still at awe and fascinated by being a full time Steemian, so I understand your interest :D
Good for you! :) WALKING DEAD <3 good choice for a real day of! What season are you on?
I just finished the 7th season, and apparently the 8th is in none of the Netflix type services I use!
Not a full time steemian(although it would be nice to have a little extra income) but I know if I did, it would become all-consuming.
That sounds like me, if I don’t stick to a strict schedule, I fall off the wagon all too easily.
Maybe you could schedule in some days off in the future?
When I first started, I let Steemit consume whole, and I think that was necessary to make this a full time thing.
I despise schedules, so definitely not putting up certain days in the calendar for time off. What I do is based on inspiration, my mood and what opportunities the universe gives me, so scheduling is not something I want to do.
Finnish people problems! lol. While steemit being down was somewhat annoying I have been down a rabbit hole looking at used yachts so I just went back to doing that, not too good for steemit or STEEM to be offline for a day though I Imagine.
Would you end up buying a yacht if Steemit was down for several days? :P
Maybe, I am way deep in the rabbit hole, I found this beauty last night:

I was going to get a little skiff with a small motor but that was going to cost me like $5k to get it how I would want it minimum so then I saw these big boats and right now is the time to get them super cheap because its the end of the season and sometimes people need to get rid of them and rich people don't really give a shit about what their things are worth and just need to make room for their new shit.
I don't spend that much time on here on a daily basis...until I can't. I probably checked it 10 times yesterday, waiting for it to get fixed. That playing hard to get stuff apparently works.
Haha, damn, you fell for that age old trick. Maybe Steemit is doing it on purpose, it did follow with a spike on Steem price so it might be working! :D
I noticed and you're right, it felt so weird not to be on Steemit ( I get nervous when I don't post too), although I did manage to squeeze in a quick post before it went down..
I usually do my freewrites at night, so it waa really nice to be able to just go to bed and read 😇
Sounds like being off Steemit did you a world of good (who would've thought?) :D
I think being forced to take some time off from the internet life does everyone a world of good, let's just not make it happen too often :P
Is it just me or does Steemit seem faster today that it has, like, ever? Comment and likes go through a lot faster in my opinion!
Good to know that you had a lovely day.
At first i thought my Account has been suspended or something but yeah the day went quite good for me to, i could pay alot of attention to myself haha
Have you been acting naughty if that is what you thought of first? 😈
Felt the same and I am glad that Steemit is up and running again 😃
I could have used another day off, but maybe we'll get one next week when the hard fork is official :P
