Same start here as you.! I start with commenting on everybody that replied to me and opening those profiles. This from people I see more often as well as new people, perfect chance to see who is dropping by.
Posts I mostly write on my phone while waiting, so after all the replying it is time to put these posts in actual posting format.
After that I will check my feed. Steemit is a lot of work secretly ;)
Steemit IS a lot of work, but when you're having so much fun, it doesn't seem like work.
Thanks for the thoughtful response!
