Back To Basics - Why I Stopped Posting On Steemit

in #steem6 years ago

I Quit

Sometimes in life it’s impossible to keep up with everything, so from time to time you are forced to leave certain areas on the back burner in order to inject some normality into your back into your
life.

juggling your time

Have you ever just had to much you need to get done and no time to do it?

I think we all have had moment’s in our life’s we’re we just can not juggle everything at the same time, as much as we would like to, sometime’s it just seems an impossibility.


So what do you do about it?

Well the simplest explanation is to divide your time between your life choice’s, so that you are at a comfortable level of involvement that suits not just yourself but everyone involved.
This is easier said than done though, as sometimes, wether it be a job, family or relationship for example, something’s just need that extra time given, in order to achieve a desired outcome.

So what did I do?

I did nothing.
With me being new to steemit and realising how exciting, being apart of this wonderful platform can really be, I gave it my all. In the meantime I put my job on simmer, my family on a low heat and my friends I just turned off. Between Steemit and Discord comes a whole jungle of new blockchain involvements that you just want to be apart of. You say to yourself “that’s enough for now”
but then Joe bloggs hit’s you up and mention’s a new token to look at, or a new contest to enter and your back to the keyboard and typing your time away.

Then Theirs work

Where are all those jobs that people enjoy going to?
My job is the biggest vein in stressed out body.
YES I want a career
YES I want a wage
YES I enjoy my time off
But NO I don’t feel that my job will ever tick all those box’es without all the stress that comes with it.
It seems like the more you stick your head on the line, there is always someone waiting to chop it off. It’s a constant cycle of, if you do good someone will find away of knocking you down and if you do bad, there is no one their to pick you back up. You know you have had enough when you could almost cry about the fact you have endure yet another day as a robot.

Of course the pay packet is a sugar in a coffee or the salt on your chip’s, but for what, to pay taxes so that the government can give those who haven’t worked a day in their live’s another all inclusive holiday because they are bored sitting at home in there hot tub and watching there 70inch 4K Tv. please


Its ok I have my family

Well yes, this is true but even here at home is no bed of rose’s.
Between financial turmoil and ensuring both my relationship and my children are getting everything I could possibly give to ensure they are happy, I feel dehydrated of all sanity.

Time to press CTL-ALT-DEL on life

You may call it a brain crash, you could also name it a break down but I like to call it Pressing The Reset Button
So I took time out.

  • Time away from work
  • Time away from friends
  • Time away from hobbies
  • Time away to concentrate on what really matters in my life
    And I’m glad I did as now I can see thing’s a lot clearer.
    For once I could analyse every aspect of my life and set out clear goal’s to over come the challenges that lay ahead.

So here I go

Back in business and this time i’m ready.
Everything is locked and loaded, all I have to do is fire.

Welcome back m8, have been wondering where you got to. It can be tough to juggle everything, I don't have a family so I'm sure that would make it even tougher to find the time.
Some times a man just needs to be alone with his thoughts ;)

Was Just taking a well deserved break.
How is it going?
Yes having a family can be tough, especially when, every decision you make must have their feeling considered as well as your own.
But I’m back now and can not wait to get posting again. Thanks for the strong support ( as always)

Welcome back @father2b ... glad you took some time to clear your head.

Hi @averageoutsider
Yeah I’m glad also. It’s been like trying to reach the surface of the water but your feet tied to a rock.
But taken some time to figure out what it is you really want and ironing out the crease’s, gives you a real boost in breathing air once more.
That air is also sweeter when you have support from the likes of yourself.
Thankyou for comment. I look forward on catching up on what I’ve missed
