Here's How I Failed Steem This Weekend

in steemfails •  5 years ago  (edited)

Far out. Sometimes I spend more time on Steem than breathing.

  • Wrote a post for #fruitsandveggiesmonday
  • Accidentally resteemed a heap of #naturalmedicine content to my own account
  • Resteemed a heap of #naturalmedicine content to my account
  • Spent a lot of time in Discord
  • Tweeted some stuff on the Natural Medicine twitter account, retweeted and liked Natural Medicine content
  • Curated for Natural Medicine and own account
  • Powered up Natural Medicine
  • Powered up Riverflows
  • Organised tokens on Steem Engine
  • Wrote a contest wrap up post for Natural Medicine
  • Wrote a post for Natural Medicine about writing good content
  • Looked for a good image as my thumbnail to be great clickbait and inspiring, and only came up with this shitty cartoon, and decided not to source the image in a blatant act of defiance and screw you-ness.

  • Half wrote a post about sending good content to trending and promply lost it, gave up
  • Nearly rage quit Steem
  • Wondered if #steemfails was a thing
  • Made a decision to have a month off Steeming whilst in India
  • Tried to figure out how @tipu worked, failed
  • Checked out trending, felt good to see a bit more variety there
  • Stalked people and hassled them to use #lotusstore, trying to connect people who sell wellness products on Steem
  • Read some great posts
  • Wanted to include a gif of a rat creature showering coz omg cute, but realised it was likely animal cruelty as the poor bastard tried to get soap off his fur
  • Had twenty ideas for posts float around my head, and realised my tendonitis is too bad to write anything at length
  • Tried to ergonomically set up my Steem workspace, failed, thought about not steeming for a few days to give it a chance to heal, failed
  • Tried to reply to all messages, failed
  • Despaired over the app situation on Steem
  • Thought about how to onboard people with tempting posts on Twitter
  • Loosely linked this post to potatoes, coz spud day was 2 days ago and I wanted to use the tag. Googled 'potato australia cartoon' to loosely link it to #teamaustralia tag, and came up with this which I also didn't source.

  • Realised I hadn't looked at steemprice in ages and wondered if I cared. Didn't get around to looking at steemprice
  • Looked at front end, updated notices
  • Figured out how to promote a post on Steempeak, promoted a post for @naturalmedicine. That was easy.
  • Quietly begged @jarvie to let me in to see how to test communities in Steempeak, lost the message as it just wouldn't load like the big fat bastard Steem can sometimes be. Am I jinxed?
  • Dreamt that I real life met someone on Steem. He was a weird dude.
  • Chatted to @plantstoplanks and @nickyhavey and got excited about @yourtop3, resulting in my scrolling through 1678 Facebook photos to find the exact right picture for a theme I was guessing, and could be wrong about
  • Wanted to write a post on climate change, did some research, got bored, and my elbow hurt
  • Wished I'd numbered this list and could figure out a clickbait title
  • Got excited I got a @blocktrades vote - so rare
  • Wrote this shit post.
  • Published this shit post and forgot to use the #spud tag, so I edited it. Plus added this bullet point. I might even add more during the day.

You got a smile out of me. How good you are to create something attractive out of a not-so-good day when nothing came out. May your weekend get better.
Greetings, buddy!

I think one of my biggest successes this weekend was making someone laugh. Beats trying to write a long and serious post that no one wants to read haha xx have a lovely rest of your weekend xx

Haha... you're funny. I'm diagnosing #steemfatigue and challenging you to take ONE WHOLE WEEK AWAY FROM IT. Completely. Good for the soul.

It's not a religion.... LOL... it's a tech platform, is all.

Get out into the garden and do some LIFING.

It is cold and windy and there is no surf. I spent the whole morning in the garden doing gardening and and helped tidy up the shed and help Jamie with the Land Rover and now I'm going into yoga. Did you read the bullet point about me taking a whole month off ??did you know you're running natural medicine over this time?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What do you mean it's not a religion, heathen ??,,

hahaha!

Sometimes I spend more time on Steem than breathing.

Me too. :)

I just want to say, have a great weekend for you.

My days just ordinary but still grateful for everything

Aw, thanks! Signing off Steem for 24 hours might be a good idea! xx You are an awesome Steemian my friend!

hahaha So refreshing to see a silly post on Steemit!

Cheers!

PS: If you ever figure out how to use @tipu, be sure to write a post about it. 😉

Haha I don't often do posts like this but boy it was refreshing to not care about anything and just be irreverent, slaphappy and whatever about it! I mean, other folks do right? Lol. Xx

Sometimes, these are the most enjoyable type of posts to read on Steemit @riverflows...

Yeah, that's too much work. Beer and chill! Rule number one: don't work. Fuck work. 🤣

Oh my god I also dreamt that I had to go back to work but I was very relaxed and thinking that maybe I could survive another year after all.

Don't do it! It's a trap! 🤣

what Nate says ( and I said before ) ;>)

This was a fun read and I even liked the unsourced images ( won't tell anyone ).

Knowing you, I bet you probably manage to make a list of groceries look pretty ;>)

xx

Hehehehehe - and then I'd lose the list!

🤣🤣🤣

Wowzer! You go girl! I think a break is called for after your busy weekend!
Fails what's that - all just steps in learning or mastering this Steem thing! Will that ever happen? Will we master it!
You've definitely put in your 10,000 hours which is toted as what is needed to master something!
Thanks for the chuckle and keep steeming on - fails and all with breaks intermittently!

Tell us more about the weirdo!?!

Amazing mate thank you.

Why ragequit!?!?

I made no posts this weekend. I've just been paying bills/doing the budget and my husband has been puttering on the house but nothing to photograph really. So no posts, just read my feed and commented. And powered up, that's it.

Yea to be fair you have been slacking 😂 which moron said that? Sounds like you've done more on steem this weekend than most have in the last month!

Glad we got you excited about top 3, I'm sure there will be some interesting stories coming out of this one!

Take it easy but try and do a bit more next weekend hey? 😜

Lol, I'll up my bullet points. It's Monday - so:

  • Checked out steempeak communities
  • Polishe dup FVM to go out tonight
  • Did my top 3
  • hung out in Discord
  • Caught up with messages
  • Resteemed via NM
  • Considered who to delegate LOTUS to

My promised 1 hour is now 1.5 - gotta go do something now!

Haha love it 😁

And looking forward to reading about your top 3! I need to get going with mine as well but may struggle seeing as I haven't been on a date for many years! Some imagination may have to come in to it here 😀

What did you do on Steem this weekend?

I'm still doing it... :>) Whatever it is that I'm doing...???

Feel free to add your own bullet point list. It only takes 5 minutes. Then you can get on with your actual life😅

Feel free to add your own bullet point list.

I wrote a poem instead and a short Brexit post :>)
Tis better to go with the flow of our creative juices sometimes. I think you'll understand @riverflows
