RE: ⬛Struggling With Your Steemit Addiction? You Are Not The Only One!⬛
I was struggling with a Facebook addiction, that wasn't getting me "high" anymore - just causing me to crash and feel angry and resentful all the time after organic reach went to practically nothing. So far Steemit has me happy and focused again on my passion, and it's helping alleviate a lot of the worry about how I'll make ends meet each month. I think I learned from Facebook that social media time has to be rationed. Still, it's so easy to get carried away and scroll and check out posts forever! lol I guess time will tell if I end up overdoing Steemit.
Woah, that sounds pretty heavy man!
Yes, I think it's a constant thing that we need to keep our eyes on. Especially on Steemit because theoretically, the more time and energy we invest on here, the more value we bring to the blockchain which also means more money!
So it's damn easy to get lost in there.
I think the key lies in balance :)
And remembering to look after yourself.
Hihi
thank you for sharing Adam!
Yep, there is a good reason to spend time on here. I don't mind spending time on social media when it actually is "social" and not algorithmed to hell, because for me that's part of my career as an artist. 3-5 hours a day on a computer is normal at almost any office job so, I don't feel bad about spending that on here, but if it gets to 8-10-12 hours a day like I was with facebook for a while - then I'll have to take a break to reset my cravings lol One thing that helps is I don't have any mobile apps on my phone for social media, so if I'm not at my computer I can't log in lol
