When you have an idea for a steem post
So I have been engrossed in steem for the last week. My normal routines have suffered. See, usually I have my Pilates class MWF at 8:30. Last week I was off since I had to take my son to summer school. In that time, I was blissfully creating, posting illustrations and other life musings with reckless abandon.
Today I went back. Normally I might suffer a minor setback from being gone. That was the case today, but throw in idea overload while trying to participate and I was lost. I mean, give me 50 frickin' minutes to take care of myself free from distraction. Is that too much to ask? Apparently it is. The fatigue and misery set in quickly. I was out of touch with everything around me, held captive by new projects swirling in my head. I felt that queasy feeling take over - the kind that sets in when you know you should stop. Jesus. Am I that much of a loser that I can't focus on self care? I don't know what happened. I thought I was going to vomit. For the first time ever I had to leave class 10 minutes early due to mental energy that plagued me from remaining in the moment. It's like I couldn't stand to be away from my creative hub for an hour. That is messed up.
A total reverse of artist's block and I'm not sure how to handle it. It's a first for me.
I'm sure I'm not the only one. Anyone else feel like sharing how their routine has been shaken to the core?
It's utter madness.
LOL!!
I agree! I have come to find this site on my mind 24/7. Its stuffing up my schedule so bad.
SCREW YOU ALL!!!!! https://steemit.com/investments/@resten/so-i-finally-realized-i-m-a-total-useless-idiot-on-steem-i-m-leaving

The reverse of artist's block. This is great.
I just wrote a post about "the conversation" I had with my wife about Steemit.

that is so funnnnnnnnny
Im also hard adicted :o cant stop steeming lol.
Hope it dont take over my family life as a parents :p
-Kind Regards
I'm a parent too - it's a tough one. Luckily my kids are teenagers, and three of my four are abroad at the moment. When they come back? God help us all.
Hehe, see your point. my doughter is 1 month old, so she take alot of time :p Hehe, use your time good now, as they are away hehe ^^
Haha it already has mine, awesome patform, awesome!!
See you aren't alone and you just added to the madness :) and since your post generated a lot in 30 min...congrats you are now a full blown addict.
ay caramba
I kind of have an addiction too. Lol
When I'm surfing the web or reading other things. I take a screen shot with my phone. THEN, in my notepad, I write my idea or thought and put a time and date I took the screen shot. That way I can always go back to what made me think of it. Lol
Just my way to remember things. If I don't write it down, it would be gone in a hour or two.
Great post. Good luck.
i agree with you i just upvote you
I have to fully agree with you. I got out of bed early Saturday morning to see if Steemit was up again and it was. Next thing you know I'm blogging for an hour earlier than I planned to get up. But it was a great thing because it was my first big post that earned over pennies.
Best of luck to you.
Thanks, @exitmass. You too
I wake up every morning at 4am to take my meds and get ready for the day.
Adderal, lamotragine and Steemit...
I'm a Steemit Addict
Here is something I just wrote about this subject. (links back here as well)
I think you should deal with it like any other addiction. Face reality, talk to others about it, get some help.
I know the feeling. . . I actualy started a dedicated list in Evernote of all the things I would eventually like to post on steemit. I've managed to post one a day, but find that the list just keeps growing. But it's a good problem to have ;-P Looking forward to hearing more of your stories!
I am at work right now...looks right stack of files looks left stack of files...and just as i write this comment the phone is ringing. Yup....i need help..actually i think i need to accept this addiction and steem on!! So yeah i should be doing some work right now but i am stuck here, reading comments...cant wait to get home and read some more lol.
In the future there will be a lot of recovery from steem addiction clinics.
Maybe you should focus more on distraction free time on steem, sounds like life is getting in the way..
It's useful to get an voice recorder app on your mobile device to whip out and record these ideas so you can visit them later. Don't feel pressed to express. Your ideas will be waiting for you when you get home. ;-)
I agree with you,It's utter madness.
Well it looks like by the response to this post, it's going to be time to cash out soon ;-) Congrats on making front page!

I am addicted too! In fact I was on a flight earlier and missed steemit so much that I purchased wifi on the plane just so I could post about my addiction LOL!
Couldn't agree more, it's infectious!!
Cool ! )
I wish that was the case! Little stumbles as I start out with steem. but leaving tomorrow on a vacation so maybe come back with content to share
I sleep less than usual.

and if you agree, share some upvotes also ;)
I just discovered Steemit today, but I see this as my future very, very soon!
Why the addiction? Sorry if I don't see what the fuss is all about yet.
Some days, I find myself starting 4 or 5 articles, each one I feel is better than the last.
Then I wail and concentrate on one!

Sounds familiar - doesnt take long to become immersed.....
enjoyed :D
I'm still not addicted but very soon will be ready

Haha worse than a drug addict wirhout his goods lol :p
I've also absorbed, and there is a new idea. What do you think about vending Steemit?

I was a Reddit addict, now I'm a steemit addict, I guess that's a good thing, sort of.
Thank you for advise, great post!
