Good morning @beeyou. Thank you for investing your time in this comment to my post. I really appreciate it!
"Many individuals like myself who are working professionals with a family simply don't have the time."
Yes, that is true for me as well. "Simple math" as I say, I know the time I have put in so far is not sustainable.
"The problem is, when it becomes a question on whether the time invested to post, comment, engage on this platform is "justifiable" in sacrificing that time away from the real world. My baby girl just celebrated her birthday, and there are days I ask myself if the time I spent on here was worth it? I spend more on my daily cup of coffee than my posts earning on here!"
"Ditto # 2" ... 😊
Time and ROI (today) aside, what keeps me going, is the "greater good" point I attempted to make here in my post. And trying to get more clearly established in my mind the value (for "tomorrow" ...) that represents.
Never previously "an online guy," it is fascinating to me, for example, the opportunity to communicate with other people from all over the world. Not a hypothetical exercise, either. I already have!
But, to what end? If I get that figured out (we'll each have our own "answer" ...), what then is that "worth?"
Answers a work-in-progress ...
Have a great day @beeyou!
Good evening to you roleerob. :)
It seems we both reached the same conclusion. We want to show support to the community, would love to engage and connect with others, but time is the enemy. I too find the opportunity to connect with others globally fascinating, to me, it is the shining star of steemit.
We, along with many others, have answers yet to discover that seem to be works-in-progress!
