RE: I Have Been Slacking
Fitness is important to keep the brain functioning optimally. As Steem users we have an opportunity to use Actifit. It's a smartphone app that counts your steps during the day. If you give the app your private posting key, it will make a post reporting the number of your daily steps on Steem at the click of a button. The @actifit account will upvote that post (two posts per day at most) if the number of steps exceeds certain limits. Anyone can upvote, of course. If you don't want to pollute your blogroll with those posts, you can easily set up an alt for that purpose.
Welcome to tokenized living where you can earn tokens by going about your day as usual. Until now, corporations like Facebook or Google have reaped all the monetary benefits.
I have a post draft titled: "You don't get a medal for adulting", but as we live in an era of participation awards, we have the opportunity to get awarder for jack shit. Now I have more material for my post, thanks!
I don't think rewarding people for positive behaviors with the help of a blockchain is rewarding them for nothing. In my opinion, it is vastly better that the users of a social media get rewarded directly for their attention than some huge corporate middleman such as Facebook. Similarly, rewarding search engine users for providing machine learning algorithms with data is a fine thing.
