Good post. That's how I feel about it too. It's fun to see the rewards, but the replies are just as valuable. Also, I find I'm using my design software and being intentional about things just because Steemit is causing me to be about my business.

I think anything that 'forces' you to do something that is inherently good for you (building character, building skills, interacting, etc) is itself a good thing. It's so easy to ignore that internal guilt about allowing yourself to slowly slide into laziness and drifting, so anything that causes you to hoist yourself up is valuable.
Yes, unless of course you cause yourself to be unhappy by unrealistic expectations of yourself--see here. :p But seriously, you are right. For me, beyond the design stuff, I'm talking to other people more and "getting out there" in a virtual way. It's helpful when you are surrounded by little voices all day.
