RE: Steemit's Driving me Crazy!

in #steemit7 years ago

If you feel you are addicted, then you can schedule time to make it constructive. Draw up a list of what you think makes you addicted and how it is unhealthy, then in the other column, write what changes would make each point healthier.

If you're prone to having an addictive personality, then Steemit is better than drugs or Facebook lol

I do a lot of EFT (tapping therapy), that could help you too. Figuring out why it's an addiction and then making it constructive will be altogether better.

Instead of getting lost on social media for hours at a time, I spend my time on Steemit. Of course, I don't come here every day the same way, I post maybe once a day at least, but some days I post 4 times, some days I just post, I don't read. It really depends. If I dedicate time to something, I dedicate that allocated time specifically. I don't set a schedule that won't budge, it's more like "today I'm working on this project, today I'm need to spend some time on Steemit, today I need to not go in SWTOR because I need to finish these transcripts..." That sort of thing.

Steemit allows you to make some income, and it's more than I typically make seeing as I'm a writer working on my projects with a burnout and I don't work a slave job. But I ahve to dedicate my time to my projects too. I spend one of my 3 months on ehre so far a bit obsessive about it and didn't skip a single day and when I got sick, I slacked a bit and realised that I don't need to dedicate too much time every single day here. If I do what makes me feel good and allocate time here, then it doesn't overwhelm me, I have my dedicated time, and it doesn't get out of hand.

Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Hope my tips can help :)

This is the longest comment I've ever recieved, there's no prize for that but I do appreciate it :)
I need to get a job soon and then I'll have less time to "waste" being on here. Not that it's a waste I'm having fun..just a time kill and i could do with less. Thx for stopping by!

Np ;) As long as you're aware of the changes you need to make to live a healthier life, you're on the right track.
