I wrote a comment in an earlier reply @janton that talks a bit about how I approach Steemit these days. It was in response to @bashadows comment. Higher up the page I think.
The most critical bit for me though, in terms of achieving balance, has been more of an inner one rather than what I actually do or don't do. My Zenning approach as @glenalbrethsen calls it. π
It's about being OK with only replying to comments I want to reply to or to posts I really want to read.
When i first started i felt an obligation to reply to every post i saw in my feed and to read every post of those I was following. Now, if I'm having a day when I don't fancy reading, I don't read and I let that be OK.
If I get too far behind I don't try and catch up, something again I did in the early days.
Interestingly enough. The sky hasn't fallen in as a result! π
howdy back @gillianpearce! yes interestingly enough..it's such good advice to not get yourself so stressed out trying to do it all. NOW I know what Glen was talking about, the Zenning thing..very good.
gotta be at peace with yourself or it's not worth it.
thanks so much, I'll read your comment to bashadows.
