The biggest difference between my voting yesterday and today is that there are more votes in each category. Putting the knowledge I gained yesterday into action, I decided that in order to take the weekend off without losing any opportunity to influence with my upvote I would need to get those 80 additional votes in over the course of the work week. 80 votes divided over five days comes out to 16 additional votes. I then allocated them proportionally to each category, the numbers in the corners indicating what the new daily total should be in each category. Since I didn't start this yesterday I will still lose 16 votes by Sunday night but I'm not going to worry about it. I want to give the new totals a try this week to see if I can even manage it.
The self upvote on this post is not included in the "for wiser" column, but will be added by tomorrow.
I had to hunt down a lot more small minnows to upvote, but it was well worth it.
I learned some interesting things from my feed, including the creation of a brand new account to support a marketplace, the existence of a Steem faucet which I can't wait to try out, and how
used her Steemit earnings to build a really cool permaculture farm.
My current SteemWhale rank is 3267. My voting strength is at 82.67%. I expect it to deplete further until I am done voting on Friday, and it can recover while I am not voting on Saturday and Sunday. My reputation score is at 55.3.
And I composed this entire post, including taking and uploading the photo, on an iPad with a one year old baby on my lap.
