Yesterday was my first real day off of Steemit in probably 10 months. No post, no comments, no curating, and no creating new material. I am a full time Steemian since the start of this year, so I spent a lot of time either on Steemit, or creating something for Steemit.
Everyone probably knows that Steemit was down pretty much 24 hours, so the ”day off” was not my decition initially. Though I could have used the time by doing photography and creating new material for when the site gets back on. Instead I decided it’s finally time to take a day off. For real.
Damn it felt goooood!
I was spending time with my family, watched almost a full season of the Walking Dead, knitted wool socks and ate a lot. I am gonna continue the same thing today, because I’m at the countryside relaxing, but I’m just gonna work in a little Steemit time too.
I usually get a little stressed if I haven’t posted or don’t have anything ready for a post, so even when I’m not on Steemit, I think about it a lot. Previously I would have gotten anxious when seeing Steemit down and not knowing when it’s back on, but knowing there is a hardfork coming, I was expecting something like this to happen.
For the past 24 hours, I left Steemit alone all together. It’s not like the world is gonna end if I don’t post on one day. But in general, I am, and I need to be, quite strick with myself that I keep posting actively, at least twice a day. I’m a lazy fucker and if I start slacking here and there, it will soon turn into having a day off every week, and then having to get a real job soon. And nobody wants that, except my mom.
Even when I decided to have a proper day off, my mind never fully stops. I did write a few ideas down, but I stopped myself from writing drafts. I would have probably done some photography but the weather was down right depressing, dull grey and rainy all day. Wonderful excuse to take the day off.
Today I woke up a little earlier to a bit brighter day and I feel refreshed. Though I am dirty and I need to go get some firewood now so I can heat up the sauna in the evening.
