0.000 HBDThe day I decided to take a break from SteemIt.
<html> <p>Once last winter I decided to take a break from SteemIt. As I was letting SteemIt interrupt my sleep. I decided I needed to take a break, and then re-engage when I was able to shake my frustration. I took a really long break and wanted to share what that time was like for me.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://s25.postimg.org/l31ljz2un/igromania_1894847_1920.jpg" width="1200" height="800"/></p> <p><br></p> <p>Here is my diary entry from that day in January...</p> <p><strong>Diary Entries:</strong></p> <p>6:30 - Wake up and get my coffee going, short work-out prior to turning on computer. Remind myself why I am taking a break from SteemIt. How much free time I will have, how much more energy I can put into my own business and not worry about SteemIt. Feel happy about the future.<br> </p> <p>7:00 - Make a breakfast smoothy and think about yesterday's post on SteemIt. Out of habit, I begin to think about what I might post on SteemIt today. Remind myself again, I am taking a break. Feeling Optimistic.<br> </p> <p>7:30 am - Just a little peek to see what's new, a quick view of the home, new, hot, trending, promoted, and active tabs. Oh, I saw a couple of posts I had to vote on and one which required a comment. I will just check in on chat and listen to SteemSpeak for a few minutes, just to hear if anything exciting is going on.</p> <p>8:00 am - Close my SteemIt, browser, open some real work and get busy. </p> <p>8:30 am - Fight off my urge to look at SteemIt, but I checked the price. No major changes, so, get back to work.</p> <p>9:00 am - Attend a boring conference call for a work project and when the topic goes outside of my knowledge area. I end up looking at SteemIt.<br> </p> <p>10:00 am - Had a long conversation with a friend and end up bringing up SteemIt, and then I show him the platform quickly, with a warning of the beta, bots, politics, etc. End up walking him through some of my posts, and some of my favorite posts, and help him sign up.<br> </p> <p>10:30 am - Okay re-commit to staying off SteemIt for the rest of the day.</p> <p>12:00 pm - Okay, lunch time, make a sandwich, take the dogs for a walk, admire the beautiful snow. Shoot, I only have a cell-phone camera, but I snatch a quick picture of the snow blowing across the field, and consider posting it on SteemIt. Oops, yeah, I am taking a break.</p> <p>12:30 pm - Fix the chicken water heater, and haul water and food out to the various animals and pens. Consider several stories for SteemIt, once we have more diversity. Remind myself I am taking a break.</p> <p>1 pm - Sit back down at desk, just a quick glance.</p> <p><br> 2 pm - Oh, time to get off SteemIt and get back to work on this billable project I am fiddling with. </p> <p>5 pm - My husband gets home, so I launch into a conversation about why I am taking some time off of SteemIt. We discuss it briefly, ... for 2 hours.</p> <p>7 pm - Eat dinner while considering why I never do any food posts on SteemIt. </p> <p>8 pm - Clean kitchen and re-evaluate my SteemIt vacation.</p> <p>9 pm - Check in on SteemIt, and "listen in" to SteemSpeak.</p> <p>10 pm - Decide, I don't need a break from SteemIt.</p> <p>11 pm - Officially break my hiatus from SteemIt. Feeling Optimistic.<br> </p> <p>My name is <a href="https://steemit.com/@whatsup">@whatsup</a> and I am addicted. </p> <p>*parts of this post first appeared on SteemIt. Jan 2017</p> </html>
