I’ve been very active over the last few month’s. Mostly because I started a second account to show that you can be an investor on hive without putting in your own money.
Whereas for my first account I do not post much more than my actifit report, my second account is an account where I post quality content and I had been trying to post daily.
This has meant that I had to do all the other related stuff throughout the day, often adding up to far too much time. Like several hours per day and it has started to feel a bit like work.
A very common thing for me is that I do a lot of things at the same time. Regularly I have to take a step back. Realize what’s important and make changes to my focus and allocation of my time.
Since I am happily married and about to become a father in the next month, I realized that I cannot keep going at the pace I’m going without some adjustments.
So, I will no longer keep pushing for a daily post. I will take it easy. When I don’t feel like writing, then I won’t. Also I will make some changes towards more passive growth of my account.
A big part of that is dcity. The growth I see there is phenomenal. But I won’t optimize my two dcities daily.
Two accounts means that I get a lot of tokens for my posts that require staking/selling/exchanging. I will stop doing that daily and shift it to a more slow pace. Not everything needs maximum efficiency all the time.
I’m trading a bit on ionomy between hive and btc. Since this is quite profitable so far and I need to sell my blurt power down tokens as well, this is something that I will keep doing.
Setting up some sell/buy orders is not that time consuming. Trades on ionomy are quite slow anyway and because I like both btc and hive, I don’t need to check it constantly.
I will also continue using the community app from SwissBorg to daily predict the price of bitcoin, since that has already given me $70 worth of CHSB tokens so far.
If you like to ran crypto for free by predicting the price of btc, then try the SwissBorg app :) Use my reference code VBGYM4Y to signup at https://www.swissborg.com/community-app-referral
You can’t get those tokens out immediately though. I assume you get them once the competition ends somewhere in spring next year.
I will keep using the coinpot faucets, since they provide good value. The first withdrawal is already earning interest for me on the Celsius network and the next withdrawal will come soon. You can read more about that in this post: @invest4free/the-lazy-man-faucet-wait-longer-get-more
But yeah, actively posting, optimizing hive-engine tokens, using faucets, optimizing two dcities , trading on ionomy, predicting the price of btc and engaging with people on hive...
It is all a bit much...
So I’ve decided I won’t be trying to get some money out of blurt, I will simply delegate the remaining steem I have to 
The only thing I will definitely keep doing daily is the faucets and the btc price prediction. Since that really only costs me 5 minutes a day.
The rest will be set up for a much more passive approach. And very importantly, I will accept that things won’t be exactly optimized and I might loose out on a bit of growth.
The benefit of this change in behavior being that I get a bit more time to think. A bit more time to relax and be ready to become a dad. One of the most life changing experiences a man can have, so I’ve heard.
How are you making sure you don’t overwork yourself in your activities on hive and in the crypto world? I’d love hear your thoughts. How do you combine hive with your offline life?
