Milling around
I am now in get into work shape mode which translates as trying to get to bed earlier. The first few weeks I am expecting is going to be hectic with a steep learning curve so I need to be somewhat fresh to take the ball and run with it.
I am trying to workout what this will mean for my Steeming but not quite sure. At the end of January it will be my two year anniversary and the number of days I have missed is likely countable on my fingers and toes. While I plan on posting and remaining active, I think I have to change my process and format a little.
What do you think about:
- shorter posts interspersed with longer when I have time
- videos where I talk to the camera
- live streams if possible
- themed fast thoughts series like work, life, Steem etc
- 10x selfies with duckface a day
I would like to keep interacting heavily but I am sure that it will be hard while I find my new rhythm. I figure it is a good time to try some different methods and explore some of the apps too.
Steem has so many pathways to interact with that I should really spend more time getting to know it pressure of the attract blogging approach. I love to write but I wonder if people would listen to me speak occasionally instead. My voice isn't pretty though so I have been putting it off for a long time.
It is going to be weird not writing in every spare moment and I am already getting withdrawals just thinking about it. The last two years has built some pretty strong habits that have served me well but change waits for no man, therefore it is best to adapt earlier than too late.
2019 is going to be a huge year for crypto I feel and a seminal year for Steem as it will look to capitalise on what has been built so far. While some might fear the uncertainty, I am looking to embrace it and be in the thick of things going forward and in the future. The opportunity for everyone is massive and for me, it is worth much more than the economic value as for the first time in a very long time, I feel meaning in what I am working toward.
This is no time for me to slow down but it is a point I can take a different tack.
Now. Off to bed.

Everyone thinks their own voice isn't pretty, you can't judge your own. It's why you should push it out and try some videos. It's probably a fine voice. I vote that :0)
Push it out and let others judge it not pretty. =)
It might be fun if I get a whiteboard and do it like a training session.
Hehe, yeah, you would be comfortable then!
Whatever takes less of your time. Getting used to a new work environment will be pretty exahusting and you are already exhausted... Short posts about your new job and the people you meet will do.
I was going to run a tag #cubiclelife but I may have an office :)
Way better than an open office - which I think is the most vile invention of our times :)
Happy to help with any podcasting or live streaming questions!

Cheers mate.
It sounds like a plan. It makes sense, except for the selfies :)
I have been resisting the idea of video blogging for some time, but I think it is effective. I did post 2 videos for different purposes, but I plan to seriously post my postsas videos. It's more practical, i think.
Unfortunately, I am not that good with technology and need to learn some basic things, but that will be a plus.
Looking forward to checking your new posts. It's always good to read you.
A vlog might be fun
Do the taraz vlog. I think you would be good at that and it should save you time. I have no idea how to do them but want to try some new things next year.
I am looking forward to "10 selfies with duckface a day"! For the hundredth duckface selfie, you will get one duckface selfie from me. Deal?
I am sure it will balance out.
I was waiting to see if anyone else caught this...
"No words, Just Duckface" - #327
:D
We need to launch duckface.io, where people can just post their duckfaces :P
there would just be pictures of you and I there
You'd be surprised :D
It will be a challenge but don’t make major changes. Small steps, small changes.
I think about making video’s but I am to ugly. LOL
On the bright side my hair is starting to grow back
I would like to experiment a bit and see what comes about. Maybe i should film while driving.
Is it good to have the hair back or is shaving a pain? ;)
I feel like I am going through puberty again. Still to short to shave/cut growing slowly. Real slow.
I have kept stubble on the face for quite some time. I use a clipper to shave. Razors are just to expensive and if I can get 3 shaves out of a razor that would be doing good. Look at all the steem I can buy because I don’t have to buy razors. Small pack of razors 28 steem
Coinbase and other exchanges need to carry Steem.
That's a tough one, especially for someone who's naturally given to musing "in writing." But I'd go for the shorter posts gig; Take the idea, give yourself five minutes to hash out the high points and GO. I've been trying to do more of that, lately...
Funny, that we both joined Steemit on the same day, published pretty prolifically, and now have to enter an "economy of words" phase.
As others have suggested, you might consider brief podcasts, too.
Sign of the times i guess. No one has supported the selfies yet...
I reckon that shorter posts (like little freewrites) and then occasional long form posts to tie together the shorter ideas/talking points into a cohesive narrative would work for you.
What about podcast style posts? Is there even a STEEM based podcast service?

I actually have part of a post about creating a steem podcast service that could leverage a popular app or something.
Yep, the short thoughts and longer detail might work
I just had a look at dsound. They should set up a podcast section.

Yep, and a supporting app for listening ease. There is opportunity, especially with people like sam harris leaving patreon.
I'll tag them and hope they get a notification and read this. @dsound
Best wishes for the new job.

ahhh it will be hard for you to post less I'm sure lol. No more 4am posts ahah but no worries, everyone totally understands (I'm the first to struggle with work, personal life and steemit posting). I think shorter posts are cool, you can still get a thought across. Video is also a good idea of course, no matter what you choose, no worries your followers will still be here =)
It is going to be a nightmare!
Except if I take the duckface option I think ;)
ah yes you may wanna drop that one LOL although....now I kinda want to see it!
