Deep in the Hole
This concerns me as the implications this would have on me are serious as I quickly become demotivated when I cannot hit my target efforts. It also starts to push out other common routines that I have taken pride in doing in the ecosystem. For example, I love to spend at least half hour a day reviewing #introduceyourself posts to curate and support as part of my weekly post. This is obviously behind this week and probably lead to a late night of browsing through the past week to engage with the tag and gather good content. However, the process makes it less enjoyable. I maybe being too hard on myself but I find pride in being able to be on top of the things going on around me to help other along the way.
This has also led to a lack of more original content that I enjoy putting together. I have typically taken a subject that I believe to be relevant for either the Steem ecosystem or the investing community; and researched it to provide insightful and engaging discussions for my followers. I feel it has been weeks that I have been able to do so. It has not been due to the lack of content as I have a stack of articles, whitepapers and other documents I have been savings to review and research to create content. Fortunately, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel as I have a long weekend ahead of me which I plan to use to catch up on a number of things I need to get done, including my research for not only my Steem content but also some tweaking I need to do of my investment portfolio.
Many would ask why I remain so focused on engagement and keeping up on my feed and the reality is that I have often thought about that but always come to the conclusion that there is always a potential for me to miss something important that I would be able to add value to. Given the thoughts I have about the importance of adding valuable content and engagement, I truly believe I should lead by example. In addition, let’s be honest, this is a great time to accumulate Steem! The fact that we can engage across a vast ecosystem and find ways to earn more Steem is motivation enough to continue doing so. In addition, we have seen the increase of an army of bots around the ecosystem upvoting comments! This is a great driver of why we should take part of this as well!
Therefore, I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to tell those I actively follow to have patience as I will eventually get to your post for some engagement. I have updated my automatic votes to ensure that I continue to support some of the normal authors that never fail in providing great content. I also browse through the feed every two hours to manually curate other and favorite them to ensure I get to them at a later time so rest assure that I continue to support the content creators of the ecosystem. I look forward to eventually catching up and actively engaging with you all even though it may take some time as I just remembered that the latest Steem Monsters season is ending soon and I have not achieved the Division I need to.

No worries and I can relate. I too try and consistently write content and post comments. It's an everyday struggle to maintain balance, I try to put family at the top of the list, but it doesn't always work out like that.
Agreed! Prioritizing is important as we can quickly lose perspectives!

Stopping by, after a break in some time with my family, to read this post @newageinv, based upon its title.
As we have discussed a number of times in the past, I have openly wondered about and struggled with this myself. I have reached my own conclusions. Your post here seems to indicate you have somewhat “hit the wall” yourself in working through this same issue on your own terms.
Well, for what it is worth my dear friend, you certainly do an admirable job of this (emphasis added mine …). Hopefully, you will peacefully resolve this current time commitment issue in such a manner that you are at peace. And, for what it is worth, my input is still that your “real world” commitments are more important and have greater value, particularly with your family, then anything either you or I (or anyone else) can accomplish “in here.”
You (and all of the rest of us …) ultimately need to figure out a time commitment “rhythm” that is long-term sustainable and healthy and then “let it go” … My two cents … 😉
Closing with I understand completely, so don’t stress on my account. I know you are “good for it” in doing all that you reasonably can, when you are able. Take care! 😊 👍
Thanks @roleerob! It means plenty coming from you based on your experience and current journey which is inspiring!

I'm impressed that you are able to keep up with your goal but it sounds a little stressful as well to keep.on top of it everyday. I hope you're scheduling in some breaks lol

Yes, I have learned to deal with the fact I cannot keep up and will just go with the flow as they say. My breaks are when I go for my workout which have been tough to do as well but I am consistently getting some activity in every day.
