I've been busy lately. I think over the past couple of days I've made 300 - 400 comments. (probably closer to 300) I've been really trying hard to connect on steemit, meeting new people, and joining / adventuring into new communities. I haven't even started on my MOTU quest and I'm starting to feel burned out.

I'm not sure if burned out is the right word, maybe more just tired. I've been staying up past 10 to try and spend some time with my son and comment and upvote more and more posts. I've also been getting up the past two days at 4 to go work out with my father in law. I weigh more right now than I have in my entire life. It's only 190lbs, but I've noticed that when trying to play with my two year old son or walk up stairs i start to feel winded and I don't like feeling like that.

I also work full time in the hot strip mill of a steel mill. If you're not familiar what a hot strip mill is or does, I can describe talk about it more in a future post, but we're getting around 200 - 300 million dollars over the next few years for modernizations so needless to say as an improvement engineer I'm going to be pretty busy, but busy is good and investment means the company has a bright outlook for where I work (hopefully).

I'm not saying all this to complain. I've been thankful for all the time, people, and opportunities I've had on steemit the past couple of days. Reading about SMTs and the future of crypto always puts me in a better mood. Just need to let my brain check out for the day while at the same time being productive. 

With that being said I'm super excited about the future of steemit with the introduction of SMTs, but have an overall meh feeling about the announcement. I'm not sure people will know how to correctly use or create SMTs that are beneficial to the community, steem, and steemit. I think it's going to be a huge and painful learning curve with just as high potential for rewards and earning. 

Rambling complete. Hope everyone has a good rest of the day, afternoon, night, or morning. I maybe on again in a few hours to comment, currate, and encourage, but if I'm not that just means I'm getting a good night sleep tonight to recharge for tomorrow and the weekend! 

In the comments below let me know if you've ever been in a steemit funk before? What do you do to get out of it? Take a break from steemit, run full steam ahead and break though the wall, or take some other approach?
