RE: Some Facts About My Steemit Journey So Far. The Real Steemit Truth. [Updated For 2018]

in #writing7 years ago

Ha I've never gotten to the point where I've burned myself out on Steemit so hart I took 3 months off, but I'm sure it helps that writing isn't my full time job, so when I take a break I get to focus on other things.

I'm still waiting for that $300 post, but am happy, as you are, because in the long run, the slow consistent rewards will get us further than the one-off whale voted posts.

Yeah, even though I spend as much time as a "full time" Steemian would do, I don't consider myself to be a full time Steemian as I'm still a freelancer and don't rely on my rewards as my main source of income. However, I spend literally all my time online, so Steemit is obviously easy to reach at any given second.

Haha it is for me as well, but being an engineer I get to take some breaks and crunch some numbers. Makes it easier when I don't need to be creative all the time and can switch which part of the brain I'm using, but noticed I still need to take breaks to avoid and recover from burnout.
