Yes, but the focus (for me) has to meet happiness goals as well as just being a cool thing to do. So there's a lot of cool stuff I could do but don't, because doing so would isolate me socially and therefore work against my happiness. (I don't have a huge desire for social contact, but my mental health suffers without any at all, and I want it to have a point, not just be people drinking and gossiping together). Eg, I don't take part in Hive open mics even though I like Hive and I like music, because it doesn't involve playing with others.
One thing I've noticed since doing this is I spend very little time thinking about all the things I would like to achieve one day, and almost all my time thinking about the next collaborative task that I have promised to do. My attention and energies are spoken for, so there's much less blue sky thinking. Bit like being married I guess?
hehe. thats great! married to the blockchain :)
I tend to prefer being in the room with a person when I collaborate but Ive certainly had some fun times contributing over the internet. Not sure its a sustainable source of happiness/meaningfulness for me ... awesome that its helping you to be more present with your creative thoughts though!
I definitely feel the same about liking socialising to have a 'point' other than just mundane discourse. Sometimes it feels a lot like wading through mud to get to the gems. Maybe thats why its addictive?
