Steemit is indeed time demanding. You need to be willing to spend time on the website if you want to make enough progress in a fairly short amount of time.
And writing tasks is all about organizing what you need to do and managing your time. Once you do that enough and you become good at it everything will slowly become a lot easier.
Also, find a balance between working and playing video games if you like doing both. That's what I do, and with the right methods I get to work and play for several hours every day :)
