My alarm goes, I wake up half, I grab my phone and scroll through Facebook, my brain still braindead and my eyes slowly fall shut again.
This is how I used to wake up.
I've always had a hard time waking up, no matter how much sleep I had the previous night. Therefore, I use my phone to wake me up, trying to start my brain from working a bit which then should wake me up. I never realized how wrong I was.
It simply occurred to me this morning actually. The last couple of weeks I have been waking up with Steemit. Ever since I started posting nearly every day, I check Steemit about every hour. Steemit is my new Facebook. This also means, that in the morning my Steemit curiosity doesn't stop when it comes to checking my post's value or if I got new replies. In addition, I check my feed, read some posts and, if I feel like, comment on them too.
The content of Steemit is much more valuable than Facebook's. What am I saying? Way more. Reading people's manually written texts sure are more interesting than to see that Paul liked a video of a cat. The information intake is pretty useless and the only opinion I have about a cat video is if I like it or not.
However, more sophisticated or informational posts make your brain automatically suck it in, have an opinion about or at least think about it. Steemit make the the wheels in my brain start turning.
My alarm goes, I wake up half, I grab my phone and open Steemit. I check my most recent post value, I see if I have any replies and I scroll through my feed. I find something interesting and comment - The wheel in my brain start turning, and I am awake.
Today, I would like to thank for writing I'm Older Than I Remember - thank you for waking me up.
