Treat every day like you are serving the community by adding value
This is what I do. I make sure to add value through comments. And then make content out of my experience. Other than that active curation is what that can help. Expectations also need to be less I suppose, otherwise we end up giving and things don't work well :)
That's an approach some use...Dont overestimate what you will accomplish in a few weeks...But then at the same time, don't under estimate what you can accomplish in a year.
