Yes, yes, and yes to all of this!
I generally burn myself out editing photos and putting in so much effort into my posts (this is do all day Saturday and most of Sunday). Normally by wednesday I am just tired of it all, with work, Steem and my outside of Steem life.
I then take a rest and run up a million posts again on Thursday eve.
Thanks for the tips, @hannahlicious - always such good advice. I've added the link you've posted about the posting strategies to my reading list and will read all about it later
Also - on the topic of small posts... last night I did one, and I felt so miffed that it was not like my usual posts, with lots of thought out content and edited pics. BUT it is important to always be posting (hahaha hearing the ABC of Boiler Room there), so I am not too hard on myself.

Yeah it is hard... Steemit requires a lot of attention and effort sometimes in terms of putting your posts together and everything! So it is super easy to get burnt out.
And yeah with the topic of smaller posts, sometimes you can never predict, even with longer posts as well... sometimes you can post a picture of your dog and it makes $20 and then another day you could put a lot of effort into making a longer post and it makes like $0.10 haha!! Steemit is funny like that sometimes :) but we shouldn't be hard on ourselves, you're right! 💕
