RE: 💭 Your Steemit Time Challenge
What a great post @the-gorilla illustrating the number one Steemit challenge The Time I can’t agree more with you in regards to the “mantra” you follow. Time management is the key to success here. What I do currently and works for me is that I post minimum three times a week on days of the week with the letter “t” in. I think of what to write while travelling between places and exercising. Multitasking helps. I always reply, the sooner the better. I read and comment focusing on the trending posts and the people I usually interact with.
I have found that having a "content schedule" often helps - I know that I'll be writing about fantasy sports on certain days following Premier League, Champions League, F1, etc. and then I have a list of other topics that I could write about. Some days, I'm too busy and stressed to concentrate so things get shifted about!
There's also the additional challenge which I didn't mention of "moderator duties". There are additional expectations and demands that accompany this which also need to be factored in. Steemit could very quickly become and full time job which could potentially make it less enjoyable.
Having a list of topics to write about definitely sounds quite useful. I always base my posts on photos I took so they guide me to what to write about. So do the contests here in WOX 💁♀️I love entering them as I find it a way to make a bold statement and get noticed by other members in the community.
Being a moderator sounds awesome 😎 @the-gorilla Believe it or not I already thought of how much time daily such duties might require 💻
It's always good to have an idea of a topic or a theme that you can write about easily when you want to. If you look through my posts, I've got a few things I can turn to which I enjoy writing about - Football nostalgia, Players Behind the Shirt, Away Day Tales and then the random nonsense that keeps me awake at night 😆 I could (and certainly did before the-baby-gorilla arrived) spend all day writing content and trying to build up my reputation.
It often helps (although I haven't done this for a while) if you write a couple of posts that you have saved for a lazy day 🙂
These are certainly fantastic tips ✍️ @the-gorilla We need to be on top of our game here 🙌 I guess it doesn’t take long for one to be forgotten as the online blogging reality is definitely not a slow motion thing. You also post about Eastbourne every now and then 🌍Speaking of it, have you got a Christmas market on this year?
🙂
Good question, I have no idea. It's still October here 😆
🤣 I did the weekly groceries after work today. The customer before me on the till, purchased several Christmas treats and she was telling me who she’ll be gifting them to 😱 I’m very approachable, so literally I every day I end up taking to strangers 💁♀️Few days ago, on the family group, I got asked about my Christmas list 🎁 I still haven’t got one ready 🙈People tend to get busy near the holidays so they start shopping early I was told☝️But all this can well be a crazy London thing really @the-gorilla🤔
Ha ha - I used to attract nut cases too. That's the problem with being nice to people 😆
I bet all of her Christmas treats go out of date before Christmas. Mince Pies that go out of date in November should never have existed in the first place.
I think my mum does her Christmas shopping in January. My sister does my Christmas shopping 🤣 I'm already being asked if there's anything I want for Christmas but they can't really provide what I need - Peace, Quiet, Time away from the family, etc... all of the things which are the opposite to Christmas 😠
In regards to Christmas presents when I was asked for my list I was also reminded that the budget doesn’t stretch to camera lenses 😂 I wish to celebrate Christmas somewhere warm and sunny, like Australia for instance and have bbq on a beach with a Christmas headband on. But nobody else in the family feels that way, so I stay here, in England and do all the traditional things: eat, drink, exchange gifts and play games. I’ll probably even post about the holidays in late December. You’re lucky @the-gorilla with your sister doing your Christmas shopping 🛍 The past few years I buy the family members bottles of their favourite drink which are a bit unusual like pineapple gin, Japanese whisky, etc. That works fine as I don’t spend ages on Amazon or similar browsing gifts, the bottles are well received and then after the holidays I get photos when they enjoy the drinks 📸 I think that’s what I’ll do again this year 💁♀️If I come across a silly Christmas item like a doormat with a fun print on I also add it to the gift 😂
On a separate note, I woke up this morning, packed some snacks and drinks and hopped on a train to Richmond for another photo safari in the park. While having some coffee I read a post on Steemit, I upvoted it and resteemed it. Then I moved on to reading another post. But then, what you mentioned in your post here about why not comment on a post you just read came back to me. So I commented 💁♀️Learning from the best 🤝Thanks 🙌
