My typical day starts with Steem and ends with Steem. Everything I do in between, all the free time I have and not have, I gravitate towards Steem.

When I am advising the kids about spending too much time on their gadgets, my phone is in my hand. When my notifications go ping, ping, ping while I am driving, I can't wait to get to the next traffic light so I can have a quick look see. Doing my laundry, cooking, cleaning, breakfast, lunch, dinner, IF!!

All day, I am thinking what to write about, my next video to create, when to curate. Always how to fit my life into the SteemVerse.

If I wake up in the middle of the night, I quickly check my phone before going back to bed.

When I go to the toilet, my phone goes with me.

When I am waiting for a meal at the restaurant after practicing no gadgets at meal times for years, I am trying to squeeze in something Steem. It gets tricky trying to tell your kids not to do what you are!

Every time the wifi and surroundings allow it, I am curating, checking in on Discord, listening to Cypto talk to educate myself, on Twitter to support the Seven77 movement and fellow Steemians....

Yeah! You Get The Picture!!!

Am I exaggerating? Not quite!! When HF20 happened and I couldn't do anything on the SteemVerse, my husband said "Yay, I have my wife back!"

When the family is ready to watch a movie they have to wait for me to finish a post, or curate or edit or something in regards to Steem.

Darn!! I paid for this MojiPop App just so I can create GIFs and Avatars for Steem.

So my friend came to visit me a couple of days back. Whips out her brand new Tarot Cards and was kind enough to give me a reading. She said ask one question and be specific.

That's specific enough I thought. And so we got started.

She laid the cards out. Now in my head, I knew either way, everything was going to be status-quo.

I told her how I felt. That I believed in Steem and ss long as I have my Steem Friends, I will continue. I picked my 5 cards and then I had to pick a couple more.

She read the cards, and we talked, and bottom line was that I needed to take a step back. That Steem is good for me but I am consumed by it. Addicted, Obsessed!

There were many plans and ideas, all at stand still. As Gary Vee says, an idea is nothing til execution. But the amount of time I have spent on Steem, allows for nothing else. My every waking minute is working on making it work, and if I remembered my dreams, it probably would be of Steem going to the moon.

I was supposed to have done this post yesterday, and get started on this 1 month break from Steem. I woke in the morning anxious and just could not NoT!!. So after more talking with my friend, the next course of action is not cold turkey. Instead I will allocate Steem Time and stick to it.

So time to figure out how to balance out SteemVerse and Real World while I get a couple of things sorted out.
And get ready for SF4.... hahahha... yes!! I cannot wait. Hope to see you there :D.

For now, I'm still around, just not as much. The plan is to stick to this routine for a month. So I have marked 16th June unless the next HardFork scheduled mid June takes us in a tail spin.

Wish me luck :)
