Sometimes time just disappears...

It has not been that long ago that I traveled over to steemit to read an article. I had seen a couple of posts here and there that showed up from google searches and various topics but I had never signed up. I thought to myself "why not" and went ahead and did it.

After arriving on the scene at Steemit I was somewhat overwhelmed but as with anything I felt it best to just jump in aimlessly and start wandering around. I started to read about how if you just followed people and voted on their stuff then they would do the same for you. So I started to do just that. I basically was following anyone who had a lot of followers regardless of their content etc.

After doing this I started making a few acquaintances here and there and I found my way over to @minnowsupport and then from there I made my way over to their discord channel. https://discord.gg/HYj4yvw

I hung out there for a little bit and I wrote some posts on Steemit covering various topics of interest of mine. I had high hopes that a whale would swim by and notice me. Guess what, a whale did swim by and notice me! I felt like everything was going great and I had managed to be seen.

What I had failed to realize was that I have so many projects going most of the time that I really couldn't afford to spread myself thinner than I was.

As you can see from the pictures above and below this was a project I had been avoiding for sometime. My wife and I own a property that had an abandoned home on it that had to be torn down. She had reminded me of it several times and there was a deadline of July 14th with the city or they would do it and charge us. So as you can see I managed to tear it down thanks to the power of a Deere.

So I normally have about 25 bizillion things going on and now I have Steemit as well. What I have discovered is that Steemit is a vast and wonderful world that is literally capable of burning up every moment of time you can conjure! LOL. This is a good thing in my book but at the same time there are all kinds of other things to take care of as well. So this leads me to a point!

My feed on Steemit had become overwhelming. I could click on feed every minute and I would see 5-6 new posts. This is impossible to keep up with and so I decided starting today I was going to make a change on how I use Steemit. At first I thought I would try to visit all areas where I had knowledge and involve myself in multiple communities. Now I have decided to direct my focus more towards the things that I am passionate about.

I really came to Steemit more for the social aspect than anything. I have found a great group of people that I really enjoy hanging out with over on the @whaleshares dicord.

The Steemit community is huge and growing more all the time. I want to spend so much time here but I realize I must keep myself focused in real life as well. I will still be posting daily but I will not be putting as much time into trying to help every single person I meet. (habit) Instead I intend to try to continue to find like minded individuals with whom I hope to have great conversations with for a long time into the future.

I would like to give thanks to @patelincho, @nepd, @walterz, @manishmike10, @jphenderson, @officialfuzzy and everyone else who keeps me laughing and smiling.

To laugh is to live and smile is to know love.

Peace,
