RE: How Steemit Made me Forget my Priorities - Please, give me my life back (I am kidding, you know I love you)

in #writing8 years ago

also, i really don't want to treat steemit as an income, i've got money coming in from the web from doing courses but i have to admit seeing votes and money on the post is a nice plus. it's a balancing act i guess, i love the fact that i have effectively a free blog here, i can get rid of my other blogging sites because they require too much admin, i've got a copy of all the posts i've made in bear (an app on mac) so i've got backups. i try not to rely on any digital income i make, that's a dangerous slope downwards because then when something goes wrong i tend to get anxiety about it -- i find a more distributed approach to having money and income works better, i use sites that pay me every 10 days like upwork and those clients are my bread and butter, again, i kinda don't rely on it. earning from the web has made me change the way i consume food and time which can both be healthy and unhealthy. it's all about the balance i guess! :)
