When you have an idea for a steem post
So I have been engrossed in steem for the last week. My normal routines have suffered. See, usually I have my Pilates class MWF at 8:30. Last week I was off since I had to take my son to summer school. In that time, I was blissfully creating, posting illustrations and other life musings with reckless abandon.
Today I went back. Normally I might suffer a minor setback from being gone. That was the case today, but throw in idea overload while trying to participate and I was lost. I mean, give me 50 frickin' minutes to take care of myself free from distraction. Is that too much to ask? Apparently it is. The fatigue and misery set in quickly. I was out of touch with everything around me, held captive by new projects swirling in my head. I felt that queasy feeling take over - the kind that sets in when you know you should stop. Jesus. Am I that much of a loser that I can't focus on self care? I don't know what happened. I thought I was going to vomit. For the first time ever I had to leave class 10 minutes early due to mental energy that plagued me from remaining in the moment. It's like I couldn't stand to be away from my creative hub for an hour. That is messed up.
A total reverse of artist's block and I'm not sure how to handle it. It's a first for me.
I'm sure I'm not the only one. Anyone else feel like sharing how their routine has been shaken to the core?
It's utter madness.

I kind of have an addiction too. Lol
When I'm surfing the web or reading other things. I take a screen shot with my phone. THEN, in my notepad, I write my idea or thought and put a time and date I took the screen shot. That way I can always go back to what made me think of it. Lol
Just my way to remember things. If I don't write it down, it would be gone in a hour or two.
Great post. Good luck.

I have to fully agree with you. I got out of bed early Saturday morning to see if Steemit was up again and it was. Next thing you know I'm blogging for an hour earlier than I planned to get up. But it was a great thing because it was my first big post that earned over pennies.
Best of luck to you.

Totally agree! The absolute worst part is being away from my laptop. Posting anything from my phone is impossible! The text jumbles, i can't post pictures or paste links.
