I have been active on Steemit now for less than 24hrs and I can already see how this can completely consume me. I am constantly thinking about what I should write about next and wondering how many comments and upvotes I’m going to get. Despite the fact that I only have 50 cents worth of steem on my introduce yourself post right now and my wife already has over $7.00 (can you tell I’m a little bitter?), I still get overly excited every time I see a new upvote or comment on my post. Perhaps it’s just the newbie jitters and the enthusiasm will soon fade but there are a few things I have realized during my short time here on Steemit:
I am going to have to give myself a cut-off time for Steemit so I can still engage in real life
Steemify is going to be a problem for me and if I don’t get it under control I will HAVE to turn off the notifications
I need to be aware of my potential to become a chronic upvoter
If I don’t get over the fact that my wife’s posts may often do better than mine, our marriage may be headed towards impending doom.
