Good to see Crypto.Piotr showing you the ropes!

My experience is that effort over time is more valuable than effort at anyone point. If you are a math guy, then you could think of effort on steem as a vector quantity instead of a scalar quantity.

There are several programs that I use to help incentivize and motivate my own perseverance, one of which is SBI. By getting involved in @steembasicincome, I gradually build a base of 'upvotes for life'. By participating in SBI contests, I meet new users, and by hosting contests, I reward others while building my own balance.

Picking a great group or project is good, but I personally am more likely to 'try everything once'. I set short term goals (like one video per day for 31 days, I did last year on Dlive) and now I am doing 77 days of #seven77 pushups. Just try different events, like @ifc or #openmic or whatever strikes your fancy!

My three step plan for new users is - contests, comments and curation. Consider @thedailysneak where you can earn SBI for finding great things that other people write!

There is literally TOO MUCH stuff on steem to do it all, so just pick something and never stop posting/commenting!
