RE: Buttercups and bubbles ~ My entry to the POB photography contest by @friendlymoose

I think you need to follow your heart and your joy and do whatever works best for you. You can see though that when you just add that little bit of extra content that your rewards jump up... but not just the rewards, crucially engagements jump too 🤗 So it depends on what you are looking for too. I understand the struggle so I am not pushing you to do more than you feel is possible right now. But I am happy to support you... If you were able to manage slightly longer content by publishing every second day, I would say that would be better for your account or perhaps try something out... make a combined post one day of all your thoughts for that day and post as a blog post of Thoughts for the day... for example so that you consolidate the 3-4 little posts per day into one meaningful post... and just see whether engagement and rewards improve on that basis? 💗 !PIZZA !ALIVE

Many thanks for the support! It’s precious! I should try to organise my day better. I actually miss writing on the daily 5-minute free write topics. I look at the topic and start thinking what to write and… it doesn’t end up in any medium 😕 What else can I say than ADHD…

I enjoy those 5 minute free writes too and I really should do more of them... I get distracted myself and I don't have ADHD. I think I already told you that my youngest who is 9 years old has a diagnosis of autism, ADHD, demand avoidance, and sensory processing disorder... so I understand. If you miss them, maybe do one next time you are in the mood... just look up the daily prompt and do it there and then.

The “there and then” is the key! Procrastination is my killer, often assisted by poor time management.

Yes, you mentioned about your son. I wasn’t family with demand avoidance before. I hope he is receiving appropriate support at school. It’s very important.

Have you read/watched Dreems 2 posts on Time management? I'll drop them here in case they can be of any assistance to you 😊

Get that hourglass figure! The Time Diet

Time Diet: Phase 2: Filling in those curves with balance

Thanks, I hadn’t come across these gems. Tomorrow I’ll start tracking my time use. Let’s see what’s the result after a week 😄

At least I never hit the snooze button! 😂

haha, fabulous! I hope you find them helpful. Would love to hear how you get on. I bet @dreemsteem would too! I found that I needed to do 2 things primarily... (1) get my kids to bed on time so that I could maximise my own personal block of time in the evenings, and (2) focus on one thing at a time when I am on Hive... and remove the distractions that pull me into other areas eg: discord when I am writing ... (I permit a few exceptions) or things like wandering off track when I am doing Dreemport daily curation and start to read somebody's entire blog instead !LOLZ ... so now I build up open tabs for posts I want to go back to... and then when I do a curation block, I knock off 3-5 in one go and then move on again... oh...and when I am really tired... I go to bed now hahaha... which makes me fresh the next day and capable of more. !LUV !ALIVE

@taimen! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @samsmith1971. (8/10)

The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.

Sounds like a great schedule. I bet over time it becomes second nature. Allocating enough time in advance would be great. I "only" need to learn to say no to others' demands every now and then 😄 I let work and things related to work eat my free time. But, let's see. Today I caught myself getting carried away a few times. I guess pomodoro might be a good thing to try for my attention span.
