RE: Want to Grow? Prioritize Your Time
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
One of my goals is to achieve financial independence through Hive and I've set a few milestones for the next few years:
- Earn enough to cover my expenses
- Earn the same I make from my "day job"
- Earn what I believe I would be making from my day job 8 years from now, considering my expected career progression
When I hit number 3, is the time I'll consider quitting my job and do Hive full time
For the moment, I'm thinking about Hive as a 2nd job so I'm trying to spend at least 4 hours on it every day. I must say it's being hard and your post gave me an idea.
Maybe 4 hours is too much to start with so maybe if I commit to 1 hour of focused work every day, things will be much easier and I'll see some better results.

Yes, try not to make it "work", right? You want to be able to enjoy it. Engaging can be fun but if you put too much pressure on yourself to do certain things, you can burn yourself out. Have a goal in mind each time you log on but give yourself permission to adjust on the fly. You definitely need to commit if you want to reach your goals, but, like I said, if you make it a task instead of something you want to do, you run the risk of falling prey to negative energy.
I look forward to getting on and seeing what's happening. I have my own goals but the main thing for me is to enjoy the process. I've got enough stress in my life without creating more for myself by "forcing" myself to do things. It's my account. These are my plans. These are my goals. I'm committed to reaching them but I'm not going to kill myself doing it. The whole point is for this to be my "job" without it feeling like work.
I don't know if I'd actually commit to a certain amount of time as much as I might commit to a certain amount of actions. Like I said, my primary goal is to always keep my voting bar off of 100%. I can basically do about 20-30 50% upvotes to bring it down to a level where it won't recharge to 100% while I'm working or sleeping. Sometimes I'll do more votes. Sometimes less. But for me, almost 100% of my votes come with a comment so..I'm giving value and receiving value and sometimes receiving more value for my comments as well. In this way, I'm always getting Leo and Hive rewards into my account every single day. THAT'S my real goal. Always keep the needle moving in the right direction.
Sorry for the long-winded response. I can't seem to write short comments. lol

No need to apologize! On the contrary, I really appreciate your thoughtful response!
I guess I could use a shift of mindset. Because of my job, I've been conditioned to operate on high performance, and hence I have the need to time everything and always be looking for ways to optimize.
It would probably help me if I didn't look at Hive as another job or a chore.

Well those aren't bad qualities at all. I'm just saying, allow yourself to breathe and enjoy the process rather than forcing it. Don't worry about spending every minute optimizing performance. Have fun. The journey should be part of the reward. Not just the results. I mean, if you're driven and you love operating that way, go for it. Just make sure you are smelling the roses here and there along the way.
