Hello! Hello! Group Topic #5

How do you find your Work-Life Balance after joining Steemit. What's your challenge? How do you manage your daily schedule? Share with us your stories.

Here's my story

I joined Steemit in the hope to leave my hectic office work. I wish to work from home and that's the main reason I joined Steemit. I wish to be financially independent from earning that I made from Steemit to sustain my work from home life. I hope to be able to achieve this soonest. However, in my endeavor to achieve this I have to balance my hectic office work life to include my Steemit life. I wish it would be much easier but it is not. I become mentally drained, my migraine gets to me all the time that I have to eat pain killer to ease my head pain. As I was a stubborn person naturally, there is no way I will be giving up my goal that I have set easily. I will continue to become the most successful Steemian that promotes positivity and kindness. I hope to achieve my dream of working from home soon, so that I can spend more time with my family and make Steemit my full-time career.

Hi @syedkashifhussai, it’s good to be back again😊
ON THE TOPIC
Im happy for your achievement on steemit. Steemit was definitely not intersting and we all were not too much addicted to steemit before @ainie.kashif started #HHG. We all get excited when #HHG start. It’s like going back to school after holidays.😊 happy feeling. Thanks a lot @ainie.kashif for giving us such a great place.😊

Thank you @shanu for your compliment .
on the topic
Steemit change our life style . Today we are all in the world together because of steemit . Steemit actually not boring just we dont know anything about Steemit before .
Now we understand steemit so our interest develop day by day .
Stay blessed @shanu Steem on!

ON THE TOPIC

@shanu
"going back to school after holidays"
what a great way to put it !!!

Thank you for compliment @teggit.😊it just like that, really!😘

Hey @syedkashifhussai

ON THE TOPIC- 1
I have to completely agree with you when you say that the HHG has held us more accountable to be active on our accounts. I too have noticed my voting power change drastically through the week as we continue to share and comment on the topic. I also try to post everyday, but maybe this happens to you, but my brain feels empty and needs a day to think long and hard about what I am going to write about. Sometimes this has to do with other things going on in my life that are keeping me busy. You have very encouraging words.

Thanks @teggit for appriciate me .
on the topic
Yes this is truth what I have now I learn all in HHG . Even how to make beautiful post . When you are regular then you feel you are better then before . When you get your post reward you can really happy .
Thanks for dropping by .
Stay blessed Steem on 👈

Hi @teggit - lovely to see you doing sooo very well.

ON THE TOPIC - 05
As you know that I am quite a commitment freak, lol! Part of my work-life balance is to make commitments. I commit to posting each day. That's why I prefer small but clearly define post that are sustainable for a long time. Nothing to think about, do them with my eyes closed.

Hi @rlt I just visit your page well your work is fine . I appreciate your work .
on the topic

I commit to posting each day. That's why I prefer small but clearly define post that are sustainable for a long time.

I like your these line . No doubt every day atleast one post make you strong day by day . Because if you not post so how Steemians support you . Good luck my support always with you .
Stay blessed and Steem on👈

@syedkashifhussai - Thank you for visiting my posts and for your kind words.

I appreciate you support and kind words. Yes, correct you need to give the Steemians something to support. Steem onward and upward my friend.

Thank you @rlt47

ON THE TOPIC 9
Now that you mention it, I now see your pattern of commitment and how you have work life balance because it is true, you do have short posts that are still enriching but like you said sustainable so that you can post everyday. That is basically my version of when I post the weird things that keep me up at night. Short posts when I have writers block but I really do have stuff that I wonder too much about that is just silly lol.

@teggit,

ON THE TOPIC - 20
You are affected by a classic case of the young enquiring mind. I doesn't profit you anything only cost precious time. I don't think about anything other than what I would like to post, how I will structure it, and the daily content... then execute, execute, execute! Perfect life balance!

ON THE TOPIC 11

You are right my mind never stops and is very analytical and inquisitive. It works in my favour when it comes to social situations and noticing the humour in life. But it does feel wasteful sometimes when I could be sleeping. But it is honestly been getting better lately! Instead I can concentrate on exactly what I want to write about and like you said how to structure it perfectly.

on the topic

Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original .

regularly make you perfect . Do post every day and don't think your post not perfect . No one perfect in this world . When you post every day then you know your mistakes . And you learn your mistakes . Then you make a good post .
I saw your posts everyday thats good . You will get big responce oneday .
My support always with you .
Stay blessed and Steem on👈

** ON THE TOPIC**
Thank you @syedkashifhussia, I’m also going to follow your advice which u have given to @teggit. I went through @teggit page and saw she is going very well. She tries to post everyday and everyday improvement. Wow! Keep it up @teggit.👍

That's a great news to hear my friend that your reputation soared to 52 from 36 because of the activities in this group. Its really a awesome group.

ON THE TOPIC

Keep on writing, No one is perfect in this world. So don't worry about your English and all. Conveying your thoughtz through this platform is more than enough.
I feel you are one of the most active member in this group. Maintain it. Do visit others page too whenever ypu gets time.

Have a great week ahead...

Thanks @angelro for nice kind words .
on the topic
When HHG members support then why worry . Im active just because of HHG . This group actually normal steem to make a strong steemians . This group give me confident .
Thats why I'm trying to write English . Thanks for dropping by.
Stay blessed steem on👈

Happy to see your response..
ON THE TOPIC

I think, I too was thinking about preparing for quitting Steemit and that is when I came across this group may be barely 10 or 15 days back. Its delighted to see many people there to share and care through this group. May be our writing skills also gets improved...

Have a nice day...Keep Steeming

**on the topic **
HH Group give us a great platform where we can share everything . And we also can learn everything .

Thanks in advance

Ok will definitely go to your page. Thanks for sharing @angelro

Already visit @angelro your page I will go again . You have big family .
Stay blessed

Hi @angelro, congrats on making your first intro post. Have visited, commented and upvoted. All the best! Happy Weekend!

True..It feels good and makes happy days for us when we know there are some true gem of personalities are there in the outer world that we are friends with and for sharing and caring...

ON THE TOPIC - 06
@angelro - yes, it is very important the point you have raised. As members of the group we must visit each others post, we must commit to supporting these members first and boost each others posts. It is difficult because Steemit wasn't designed for this. I will try harder to do this at least once or twice a week. this should be factored in our work-life balance pertaining to Steemit.

ON THE TOPIC 10
This is a great goal to include in our time on steemit to make sure we are supporting each others posts. Especially when for some this is more of a job and passion then just a brief thing to do once in awhile. I know the site wasn't built for this but I am sure that people like me who joined not so long ago planned on having bots controlling so much and built to make people more profit hahaha. Learning that was a bit defeating but I am not worried about the money.

on the topic
We need Steem power then steemit fun for us . This HH Group is power and fun for us . Where we can share our feeling our fun and our activities . I hope everyone understand ...
Stay blessed and steem on!

ON THE TOPIC 10

True, it was one of my concern after few weeks of Steemit life and happened in continuous communication with few other members which I thought these people can automatically become virtual friends. That is when there I realized there no option to get a notification from any people that we wish to make. Only we have to check their pages without fail.

As you suggested we must make sure once in a week or so we should visit our group friends pages and support them as much as we can. And from this HHG 5 page it may be easy too

ON THE TOPIC - 25
@angelro - My work life balance says today is the day that I should check everyone's post - lol!

Hahaha...

Loved this moment...and I too will make sure today or tomorrow I will check everyone's in this group...
Please visit my Introduce myself post too..

Love and Regards,

ON THE TOPIC - 28
@angelro - Hha! I know it's funny as hell, but ever since I've been writing for the contests, it seems my balance is out of sync - I've definitely not being commenting on posts as often as I should.

Some times losing balance on any stuff happens to be for some good cause, that you will become tougher and stronger by learning how to stand again. Is it?
So dont worry..Have fun...

If any member of HHG have new Post you can share link with us on HHG page .
on the topic
After we can visit any member page and support . We dont have steem power we are weak we need help each other . When we help each others then other Steemians see us then they also come our page .
Stay blessed steem on!

@syedkashifhussai - That is a great idea!

Awesome ideas @syedkashifhussai.
ON THE TOPIC

Hello @syedkashifhussai, yes I wish for all of us to reach our target. Steem price is sliding down now, I think we all should take this opportunity to go and buy a little bit at least... depends on our budget.
You too, stay blessed and take care.

ON THE TOPIC
Story about my work life. We have are own business but I never took interest in. I go to office sometime when it’s really important otherwise I’m home. How did i started working on my passion? It took me 5 whole years to know what I excatly want to do in life? I tried many things like programming, interior ect. It was really depressing period for me. But then finally I got to know that I’m intersted in fashion. I spend 4-5 hours searching and reading about fashion. I’m still working on it. Right now, I’m happy and relaxed. But I also want be independent woman. I want to buy my own home and interior it by myself. I have joined steemit because of my dream and I’m sure one day I will get successful on steemit. I want people know me as a good fashion blogger.Hopefully one day my dream will come true. In Shaa Allah! Thank you everyone.😊

hey @shanu

ON THE TOPIC - 7

Your story really is so strong, and I believe that you will be successful and that steemit will help you in your success. I know how you feel trying to many things and not knowing where you belong in work because your heart is somewhere else. With something you love. I know three sisters who were obsessed with fashion and design and made a company based on ethically made, organic clothing. Whether they made it themselves or for their children, they are becoming very successful. I will give you their website as they are a great example of women who share the same passion as you.

Hi @teggit,
ON THE TOPIC
Thank you so much for your wishes. Yes, it was really frustrating when i was trying so many things and got upset all the time. Now I’m happy and contented with my passion. @teggit, thanks for sharing story about three beautiful and inspiring sisters. I love their clothing design. Awesome!😊👍

No problem I hope they inspire you.

hello, @shanu, I like your story, remember the limits are only in the mind, if that is your passion, study, prepare, design, you have the opportunity to explore everything you want to find, to achieve your dreams.

Hi @rvag5, your story is also very inspiring to us, being two kids mother how do you balance your work and professional life. thanks a lot dear for your awesome advice. Im definitely gonna follow what you said to achieve my dream. What else I want when I have friend like you, so supportive and motivating. Thank you once again @rvag5.😊

ON THE TOPIC

Hi my dear, since your research and work doing what you like, I bet time goes by flying.
You probably has importations and topics to post all day long.
I wish I could post more about my work, but I’m not allowed to give any financial advice here. Then I would have tooocs for all day long.

ON THE TOPIC
Hey! @xlaylamx, time flies like anything. I never give up on to understand what is my life’s motto? Now when i know i do work on it everyday. @xlaylamx, it is totally fine with us if you cannt share about your work. We understand n respect.😊 thank you and stay blessed! Steem on!

ON THE TOPIC

I would love to share and give advices. This what I love to do. I would have a lot of material to share.

ON THE TOPIC - 07
Yes, you have the the ideal opportunity to persue your dreams and succeed at Steemit. You have time, passion and all the support. You should take full advantage of your personal work-life opportunity. :)

Yeah @rlt47, U are right, i should spend more time on passion. I know my #HHG friends gonna support me n im also here to support them anytime. Thanks a lot for your valuable advice as always.😊 stay blessed!

@shanu - Yes, show me some passion!

Oprah passion!

Oh! I was waiting this. Thank you so much @rlt47

@Shanu
Just another thought: maybe you could do a post about what is on trend for each season as they come, even for ones in different countries for men and women...so at least we know haha we need your style guide!

Hey! @teggit, thanks a lot for your suggestion. I will definitely try this. I have recently post about new season clothing.

Oh I must have missed it and I will check it out!

Hai Shanu...Hope your days are good..

ON THE TOPIC 16

Quite happy hear a story from the heart. When there is WILL, there is a WAY. All the best in advance and we steemiens HHG members are there to help you in any way to achieve your dream.

Though I came to know you were crazy on fashions, I never thought you are really into it to make it your profession. When you really need anything and the determination you are shown in this brief you already won half of the battle...

So carry on with your passion on Steemit..

Yeah @angelro I’m doing well how about you?
ON THE TOPIC
Thank you for your kind words. I’m overwelcomed after reading your comment. I’m so lucky to have you guys in my life. I never knew that i will have so many good friends on steemit. Steemit really changed my life I’m so happy @angelro. I will always there for you guys! Thanks a lot once @angelro. May God bless you whatever you wish for. Ameen!!😊

I am good and wish you a nice day with lots of Fashion updates..

Your reply made my day too. I am too happy there are many friends now to communicate with. SO far I never ever interested in Virtual friends, especially one another that hates FB. But here every one seems to be genuine and ready to communicate for the problem that members are raising.

I think slowly I am too getting addicted to Steemit if you people are around...Have a nice day too..

Hahaha😊that’s good, just like me and other #HHG members, #HHG is getting addictive. Thanks a lot @angelro. Have a good day.

I can realate with your experience.
It took years of pondering and wondering, before I realized that it was my destiny to blog on steemit.

ON THE TOPIC

It's important to make out time for work. Life on steemit can be time consuming.

Creating a schedule for your activities is something that helps.

Thanks for understanding my situation @jacksondavies.
ON THE TOPIC
As you now I’m not doing any job right now. Being in a family I need to spend time with them, sometime when guests are home or there is family outing. Then it gets little hard to catch up all things which I have missing during this time. Steemit is time comsuming and other sites are too. I have to go through all these. I cannt give dedicated time to my passion. I spend time on my passion whenever i get time. I will soon setup my time for my work life soon. But right now, I’m not taking stress and enjoying it. Thanks a lot @jacksondavies for your suggestion. Stay happy and blessed! Steem on!

ON THE TOPIC - 21
@shanu, Yes indeed family life and work life is important and can't be ignored. I'm a morning person so now it it is 00h31, I just got up now I will be catching up on some stemmit... So let me motivate you and encourage you to follow your dreams. Don't use family or work time, but make some extra time.

@rlt47: thanks for motivating me always. U are idealistic person. I should learn from you lot of things.
ON THE TOPIC
I do get time in night mostly. So, I try to make most of it. Time management is first to key to success. I also want to write everyday, but I’m not able to do that. I need to work on it. Thank you @rlt47 for encouraging me do my best everyday. Take care and have a pleasant day!😊

ON THE TOPIC

You're right, steemit is definitely time consuming.
But we still have to figure out a way to make time for it.

ON THE TOPIC
Yes @jacksondavies, because we should also encourage and praise other work too by reading their post and commenting on it. Only then we can be successful on steemit. I got so many nice friends on steemit. Spending time on steemit is worth.😊

ON THE TOPIC

Definitely.
Something as simple as telling an author that he did a good job with his piece, might be all he/she needs to uplift his/her day.

Authors spend so much time and energy crafting their work.
A little bit of appreciation evey now and then goes a long way.

@jacksondavies - Hi Buddy, welcome back!

Thanks @rlt47. It feels good to be back.

Hi Shanu, I'm all for you into fashion blogging. It's the happiest to be able to do what we loved most. I am naturally like to motivate people, even in my normal days. I have one time being called to speak in front of 3,000 undergraduates during convocation time about how to apply for a job and do's and don't in job application. So this interest of mine, now I applied to my Steemit blogs and it made me happy doing something that I loved most, motivating people. Work-life balance is a litle bit hard to juggle for now and I wish for all of us to be successful here doing what we loved most. Thanks for sharing with us your stories. Each day is a new day to explore each other's stories. Take care Shanu and Stay Blessed!

Thank a lot @ainie.kashif for reading my stories. U are a wonderful friend and leader. It’s great to know you have spoken 3000 people and montivated them. You are everything one can look for in good mentor. I will also happy have mentor like you. I appreciate whatever u have taught us. I’m so grateful to have your guidance and support. Thank you Ainie. You also take care.😊

on the topic
Hi @shanu I read your story very interesting . I wish your dream will come true . And I also believe on steemit this is right plateform and right way where our dream will come true .
Best of luck @shanu .
Stay blessed and Steem on!

ON THE TOPIC
Thank you @syedkashifhussai for reading my story and wishing me luck for my dream. I’m working on it, hopefully I will also get successful like other successful steemians. N I also wish you the same. In Shaa Allah we all will be successful in our dreams one day. You too stay blessed and happy. Steem on!😊

Thanks @ainie.kashif, for keeping us active weekly with new challenges, and growing as a community.

Finally, the group that I am waiting to present again in the 5th edition
welcome to Hello Hello Group #5
How are you doing @ainie.kashif ??
May all your dreams be accomplished

On Topic

Here is my story
I join here already a month more.
I used to sign up but I lost my password. And I do not care about this platform anymore. In February I saw my friend @hattaarshavin very successful at #dsound and I was tempted and wanted to supplement my income beyond my current income. Since I can not sing I try to make a post about my work as #woodworking.
I think looking for income in steemit is very easy. It turns out we really have to make a nice and original post. I do not give up because I have the nature of liking challenges. Like the motto of life that I hold.
"Hard work never betrays results"

Now I'm liking to make a post about the motivation of life in the form of articles. I really like it because I get vote from people who like my article. And writing becomes a beautiful thing and not wasting my time if saha is waiting for wooden customers. hahaaaa
that's a bit about my story.

Bravooo

@gumegxgolgom

ON THE TOPIC 2
You are so right, everyone in this groups is so original and it is refreshing to see so many different posts from people you chat with during the week. Your idea of liking challenges is unique as most do not. I have found that making myself write everyday has been my challenge, but I feel so good afterwards. It sounds like you found exactly what you didn't know you were looking for which is to write about motivation, when initially it was to be about woodworking. That is amazing to me. I am always happy to read motivational posts especially on my bad days. It gives me things to be grateful for just like the people in this group.

Hello @teggit
How are you ?

On The Topic

as beginners we need people who have high sp.
If we follow the right rules on this platform and do not beg for votes from people who have high sp, maybe one day we will succeed. The usual thing if the post is still irregular and not focused. Because we are still a beginner.
Always do positive things and create original and quality posts. surely we will be visited by great people. Hopefully

I am great @gumegxgolgom thank you for asking. You are right. My biggest problem is definitely trying to connect with people with high sp that are willing to comment back and still be part of the community. But I still look!

@gumegxgolgom - I love your story, especially since you enjoy the challenges.

ON THE TOPIC - 03
It seems that you have no life-work balance issues since you joined steemit, in fact, it looks as if things just got better for you. LOL!

Thanks @rlt47
How about your contest ?

On The Topic

I learned a lot of positive things from friends around who joined in steemit as well. Although there are many ways to cheat but in my opinion it is not good. And in this group I am very happy to participate and meet you friends
always success

ON THE TOPIC - 22
@gumegxgolgom - Yes, having good friends on Steemit is a positive way to attain work-life balance; as our social interaction is a positive thing!

@gumegxgolgom, Good morning and hope u good..

Nice to hear from you and about your story....

ON THE TOPIC

You were not bothered about Steemit and your reputation level is 46, Wow..wonderful and I was thinking if you were so active what would had been the level...(Just kidding).

I am again amused by hearing that a killing income is possible from Steemit and I am seriously thinking to research how. Please elaborate this liking contest. And about writing, its true that there is something behind writing, a self satisfaction. I am nowhere near to call me as a writer but it was my dream too to make something and finally I succeeded to a limit. I am not sure whether it will be recognised in steemit to earn something worth.

My entry to Steemit was that travel blogs as suggested by a friend when I requested to review my blog and she immediately suggested me to join Steemit. My first post in this platform was also one of my blog. I am posting here..Those who have the time and mood please go through and I would be happy if someone can resteem it..A write up on one of the famous place close to Sri Lanka..

On The Topic

as I've talked about first.
if you focus on steemit and have creativity steemit will certainly pay you. But the prises to be paid are hard to explain. maybe because i'm not good in english.
writing belongs to a category that many people love. and saga saw many of the stemians who have high sp that make posts about writing. if we can invite them to visit our post and they like our post. you are lucky
like one of my articles about * the secret of life * visited by #arama
I am very happy.
And my article is this

related to the topic that @ainie.kashif provide

Hai my friend @gumegxgolgom...Nice to communicate with you and I am really happy you responded with my opinions. Thanks to the link that i will sure go through..

ON THE TOPIC 14

Your first sentence says everything, focus, creativity and the price that you need to pay. I am not bothered with the result but what I feel there is some mechanism is required to acknowledge that creativity and passion in the early stages of steemit life. I am not talking about the money part but only so many creative things are there which unattended by this community for newbies especially...I amy be wrong but just saying.

That price to be paid may be mainly time, is it?

And agree, writing is a skill, an art and an inborn special talent. Hope one day someone may like my blogs too as you suggested...

Keep replying...

I agree with your opinion.

On The Topic

It's very hard to lure them to like our post. Do not give up and continue to be creative on this platform.
Someday we will also like them. And we still maintain and help each other in terms of creativity. this is our goal to enter in this group.

Good to hear your support...

As you said our own HHG community shall try their best to help each other for others growth in this steemit as much as possible..

Have a good day my friend

ON THE TOPIC
Hi @gumegxgolgom, I went through your article. Happy to see you are also trying different ideas along with your woodworking blog. @ainie.kashif always give us new ideas to try. Thanks a lot to her. And thank you so much for sharing link. Keep it up! And stay blessed!

ON THE TOPIC - 14
@angelro - If you are serious about making money on steemit, you need to realise for many people it doesn't happen overnight. Steemit must be a daily habit and mostly for fun. If you are not having fun, and you are stressed about making money right now, you are going to force the issue and you will not be successful. I want to build Steemit also to bring me a small income one day, but I must commit now for then. In five years from to day Steemit will be different for all of us. We will be dolphins and whales.

Steemit is like the ocean, if you want to swim in the ocean, in the beginning you have lots of waves so swimming is difficult - but behind the wave swimming is easier.

So just do simple things each day to improve your position. Increase you income per post. Post twice if once is too little. Make sure your RP grows, because this makes you more visible.

ON THE TOPIC 13

I never thought about till this moment to indulge with Steemit for money and as I said It is beyond my understanding that it is possible. Must be true, but for me miles and miles to go for to reach anywhere near to the first step of that destination.

Steemit for me is just fun, purely fun to converse with totally strangers (Not the members in this group, all of you are friends now but until I join this group). Sharing the blog like stuff I made for some travelling, some funny photos that has been taken till date - But there is one killing fact now, I look forward to write more and started to look for some interesting photographs all the time. -

Exactly as you said, its an ocean and I am just a kid standing on the shore wondering about the number of waves and number of sand...So hope one day I too starts swimming. like that 5 years time frame..I too may fix a target.

I am happy with that suggetion, I will try to post everyday. to involve myself with steemit...

Have a good day too...

ON THE TOPIC
Hi @angelro, just believe in yourself and keep up the good work. If u want to write more about traveling and it’s good that u are not thinking to make money on steemit and you take it as a fun. U can enjoy it lot. Blogging is a good thing. Keep it up.👍

It is always a happy feeling to get a response from you all..

ON THE TOPIC 18

Self belief was one thing which looked like sufficiently shortage in me..haha just kidding..
I like travelling and very lately only I thought of making some sort of write up to remind me myself later, then the same thought was forced me to make it a blog like stuff. Then I googled for few days to get some sort of guidance in writing and I realized it is not a small deal to make a decent write up. Because few write ups I prepared just an explanation without a proper beginning or sequence etc.

Then I was so determined in my mind to make a least minimum of one or two write ups. Then all my thoughts were concentrated only on that aim. All the available time leaving office related and home I spend to ponder about how can I succeed in that and finally I was successful atleast to satisfy myself with a proper introduction and conclusion (which were the most demanding portion)

When you have time please visit https://exploredeindia.wordpress.com/ where you could find my blogs. I already have few more which I will post later..

Appreciate you for stopping by...

Hi, @angelro,

Work-life balance also must be taken care of so that we can be more successful yet peace. Hahaha, you should try to sing at least one time like @syedkashifhussai new interest. I fully agree with your life motto "Hard work never betrays results"... let's hold on to that principe together. Stay blessed and wishing you a pleasant day.

HELLO! HELLO! GROUP THEME NRO. 5
The Story of @ rvag5.
Hello My dear group of @ainie.kashif, for me it is a pleasure to share with you the time in this community, here a little of my history.

  1. My work and life balance, I found it 15 years ago, when I decided professionally to start working independently, since I had my second child, and decided that I should dedicate more time to him, that way I rent an office and I began to render my accounting services to my small clients that I managed, from there to date, my schedule is done by me, when I arrived at Steemit, the thing got complicated, because I was spending a lot of time dedicated to it, and I was neglecting my work, which I like to exercise so the income is not adequate at this time, so not to complicate my life, I decided, manage it at night when I get home, I dedicate approximately 04 hours a day, in my office at the time I also dedicate my time to lunch, including reading, publishing, reviewing publications, trends.
  2. My challenge in Steemit, first to have more than 1000 followers, and become a curator, and that all my publications are trends, because when we are in trend we are well positioned in the network, that my publications are of contribution to growth personal and economic of the people that make up this community.

To continue here the important thing is perseverance, perseverance, we must continue swimming until we achieve what we want, luck for all.

Hey @rvag5

ON THE TOPIC 5

First I want to commend you for being such a dedicated mother while still looking for a place in the work sector. To me that is the most amazing achievement. And the fact that of course Steemit does become addicting at first and making sure you aren't letting it take over your work would be difficult.
It sounds like by learning to manage your time you are having more success and to have articles trending would be so cool. I cannot imagine having that many followers, you are an inspiration and I hope you I can do as you do one day.

Hello @teggit, I like your story, remember the limits are only in the mind, if that is your passion, study, prepare, design, you have the opportunity to explore everything you want to find, to achieve your dreams.
Beautiful your words, so you never lose the north of what you want to achieve, so you have a thousand obstacles.

@rvag thank you for your kind words.

HAI @rvag5, Nice to meet you here and happy to know more about you too.

ON THE TOPIC 17

I loves that attitude of many members here to earn and stand independently even the earning is relatively lower than what they might get. As you said some platforms are gets us addicted. So better to leave such stuffs like FB, Insta, Twitter etc where there is literally no benefit to life.

But in Steemit as many people are opined, if you can try to squeeze the time from WORK LIFE balance it seems this one is a real game changer platform. Also from the Reputaion score you are already an established member, so keep on continue in the best possible way maintaining your family life so sweet..

Whatever the support we could do, we will...

Have a nice day too...

ON THE TOPIC -10
@rvag5 - Wow, it seems you have a great work-life balance. I'm not surprised you had a bit of trouble with Steemit in the beginning, it is very addictive. also, steemit has such a lot going on it is difficult to keep track of everything. It is also difficult to be caught up in new things on this platform if one is not cautious. which could again affect one's balance.

a very inspiring story @rvag5
I want to comment on your story.

On The Topic

I really like your story. Many people also ignore existing work and focus on steemit. Some are successful and some are failing.
the lesson I get here is if we combine work and steemit will be a great thing. But we have to produce creativity always
Keep trying to hope that what you want will be achieved.
send regards for success

ON THE TOPIC
Hello @rvag5 how are you dear? Your story is very inspiring to me. Balancing working life as well as being a mother of two, itself a challenge for you. But I know u are a strong woman. You will handle everything well. It’s good that u decided to give time to steemit in the night because steemit need time and dedication too. U will definitely acheive your goals on steemit for sure. Keep up the good work @ rvag5. Thanks for sharing your story.😊

Hi @rvag5, you are a very dedicated person. I like your daily schedule, that sounds good to follow. My best wishes to you always, hope you will achieve your goal soon. I fully agree with you perseverance is the key to be holding on in this platform. Take care and Stay blessed!

** ON THE TOPIC**
Read your story and I see one similar thing in our story that steemit was boring before I met such a kind hearted person @ainie.kashif. I love to read her post n one day she started ##HHG and this was also a big changed in my life. I got so many nice friends, their support and love.

Hello my fellow HHG brothers and sisters

ON THE TOPIC 8

Well I believe the truth frees us all, and if there is anyone in a similar position as myself then, just as in my blog I tell the truth. As of right now I do not have a job. I struggle with mental illness and in the past few months it has been intense and I am on my way to feeling better. So to keep me occupied, I have allowed Steemit to essentially become my hobby, and my job is to get better. This is a hard truth. I want to be working and I cannot wait to be back in school in September to be a Paralegal. But in the mean time I have to focus on my health so that I can do amazing in University again. I have a long road ahead and Steemit is a constant reminder to keep going. It gives me deadlines (like contests), and something I have to do everyday, and I am proud of myself everyday. Also just like having a job, it has allowed me to socialize without leaving my place which is sometimes difficult for me or I have no energy too. I appreciate everyone here who is working so hard at their jobs, have families, and still contribute on steemit. You are everything I wish to become and I feel I am on that path.

Steemit has..
-Given me something to look forward too
-A way to express myself
-A hobby/job to do
-People in my life that are supportive and amazing
-Excitement
-Takes my mind off everyday battles

Getting well is my job, but steemit is my hobby that keeps me sane.
Go in a good way.

@teggit - wow, you are an amazing person, such strength and such character!

ON THE TOPIC - 23
You are proof that steemit can be and is beneficial to ones, health and self-esteem. You have indeed proven that life-work balance is up to the individual....

Steem onward and upward!

Thank you, it really is a great community.

hello @teggit, When you turn obstacles into challenges, I assure you that you knock down all the barriers, here you have to be persistent and constant, do not be afraid, publish everything you want, until you find your niche.

Hi @teggit, It’s great to see your positive attitude towards your life. U will be fine soon don’t worry just be positive in life always. I see, you enjoy on steemit and write story about your life or day today events. Just write it down and post.👍you have very good writing skill just put in words.😊

Thank you @shanu for your continued support. hugs.

Most welcome @teggit 😊

Hi @teggit, where are you dear? Hope You are doing well

Sorry I have been at my parents farm and didn't take my computer with me. I had some self reflection time haha. I was absent for this topic very much so, but I will be at it again and I am keeping a close eye on your fashion posts! @shanu <3

@teggit, it’s good to see your msg. I’m happy u are having good time with parents. Enjoy! Thank you so much dropping by my page.😊

Hi @teggit, my super duper apologies for the late response. I have been away to recharge myself after that big event of mine last Sunday (March 25). As a perfectionist, it was not my best delivery for that event, but I did receive a bunch of compliments from many people that made me calm down. I received a box of expensive chocolate as a thank you note from a club member and also a speech by the Captain complimenting me for that successful event... and so I feel that my task has accomplished and I deserve a deep rest before my next big event in early May.
I am sorry to hear about your battles. I am all with you to keep your mind busy doing something that can keep you occupied from your everyday battles. I am an OCD for perfection and gets frustrated when things doesn't go the way that I like. I am very happy that you are part of HHG, you are gonna make a fine lawyer one day. My prayers with you. Please please take care and wishing you a pleasant weekend. Hugs from me.

Thank you @ainie.kashif I have been rather absent to this group this week as I was concentrating on my health but it was still a very nice topic and I am glad to see that everyone can be so open and share their struggles and successes with each other. Take care!

My story starts from the time when one of bestfriend told me about the steemit!
I was not serious about the steemit at that time. My steemit account was 3 months old but i have started writing my post in regular basis from last month.


1

Steemit gives me a confident. A confident when i talk with people, when i take photos(everytime with bigger smile) etc. I never feel useless.

2

Steemit gives me a courage! Its been two years that I'm planning about opening my Youtube channel but never happened. Finally, now i have decided to open my channel and preparing for it!

You are welcome to join any discussion, and you will be rewarded with SBD for making good points on the "topic of the week" which is you work - life balance after Steemit

It's great to see that steemit has inspired you to take steps to achieve your goals.
Consistency is the best approach when tackling steemit.

ON THE TOPIC

If you haven't done this already, I recommend drafting a master plan for steemit.
Make a list of all you want to achieve on steemit, and figure out how you can adjust your life to match up to your goals.

This will help you stay focused, and prevent you from being overwhelmed in the future.

Hello @sanzib, Welcome to HHG5! and thanks for sharing with us your story. So how do you manage your work-life balance after joining Steemit? Do you find it stressful?
I am currently doing my review for HHG5. Please resteem and upvote this HHG5 post so that you can be eligible for the SBD payout later. Thanks and Steem On!

ON THE TOPIC

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I wish I had more time to be steeming.

I log in in the morning before I go to work, bathroom breaks ( I’ve going to the restroom a lot since I joined), lunch breaks ( eat at my desk, I’ve told people not to disturb me, lol), before I get in my car to drive home (I’m getting home at least 20 minutes later, but not because of traffic, I wonder why), and at home ( between cooking, being a mom and wife).

The funny thing is that I am a compliance manager for a financial broker dealer, in order for me to get an account with steemit I had to ask permission from my supervisors. It is considered a conflict of interest and an Outside Business Activity.

@xlaylamx - Hha, it so funny that your are sneaking off to have Steemit time.

ON THE TOPIC - 15
Yes that is another issue we haven't really touch on, if someone is in formal employment they sometimes have red tape which could make things really difficult.

Yes, you really have it tough finding a good way to be on Steemit. That's why I keep my post really short, so I prepare them a month in advance and just cut and paste on the day. I also so do quick, posts and contests. just to keep moving ahead.

ON THE TOPIC

Indeed my friend. Being proactive gives you more free time.
Time management is the secret behind it.

ON THE TOPIC - 19
Hha! I don't know if it really gives me free time. What it does for me is it gets the issue of posting everyday out of the way...then, I can spend my time doing the more creative steemit things = No Free Time! LOL!

a very interesting story @xlaylamx

On The Topic

In using steemit we must be smart to set the time for other work is not disturbed.
And in this group we discuss our story of us organizing time. I've written an article
https://steemit.com/article/@gumegxgolgom/article-manage-your-life
maybe you can take advantage of my article.
I salute you with your struggle
keep the spirit and success always

ON THE TOPIC

At work, I’m responsible for compliance and operations. I organize my day as compliance first and operations second.
2 major compliance topics, more compliance until noon, after lunch, I take care of operations and other small compliance responsibilities.

Setting priorities is how I start my day.

@xlaylamx
Hello again!

ON THE TOPIC 11

Wow you are very excited to be on steemit and that is the best attitude to have especially when you are so busy. I like to hear that you are always checking it and wanting to have more time to yourself to build your platform on steemit. It is unfortunate that your work thinks it may be a conflict of interest but I am glad they gave you the opportunity to have an account so that we can get to know you. The only time I find it being a conflict of interest is we get so addicted to checking it. I know I make myself eat breakfast before I check it hahaha.

Hello @xlaylamx, Welcome again to HHG5! I can actually feel your busy days as I am having one myself. And on top of all that meetings and office works, I need to also write for the magazine. The write up involving interviewing and profiling long-serving staff which is quite stressful for me to juggle in between my busy days and to remember deadline for submitting the story for the magazine publication. I always complaint that I wish there's 30 hours a day so that I perhaps can have more time to complete some tasks.
Thanks for sharing your story. Stay blessed and Happy Weekend!
