Hello! Hello! Group Topic #5

How do you find your Work-Life Balance after joining Steemit. What's your challenge? How do you manage your daily schedule? Share with us your stories.

Here's my story

I joined Steemit in the hope to leave my hectic office work. I wish to work from home and that's the main reason I joined Steemit. I wish to be financially independent from earning that I made from Steemit to sustain my work from home life. I hope to be able to achieve this soonest. However, in my endeavor to achieve this I have to balance my hectic office work life to include my Steemit life. I wish it would be much easier but it is not. I become mentally drained, my migraine gets to me all the time that I have to eat pain killer to ease my head pain. As I was a stubborn person naturally, there is no way I will be giving up my goal that I have set easily. I will continue to become the most successful Steemian that promotes positivity and kindness. I hope to achieve my dream of working from home soon, so that I can spend more time with my family and make Steemit my full-time career.

Hey @syedkashifhussai

ON THE TOPIC- 1
I have to completely agree with you when you say that the HHG has held us more accountable to be active on our accounts. I too have noticed my voting power change drastically through the week as we continue to share and comment on the topic. I also try to post everyday, but maybe this happens to you, but my brain feels empty and needs a day to think long and hard about what I am going to write about. Sometimes this has to do with other things going on in my life that are keeping me busy. You have very encouraging words.

Thanks @teggit for appriciate me .
on the topic
Yes this is truth what I have now I learn all in HHG . Even how to make beautiful post . When you are regular then you feel you are better then before . When you get your post reward you can really happy .
Thanks for dropping by .
Stay blessed Steem on 👈

Hi @teggit - lovely to see you doing sooo very well.

ON THE TOPIC - 05
As you know that I am quite a commitment freak, lol! Part of my work-life balance is to make commitments. I commit to posting each day. That's why I prefer small but clearly define post that are sustainable for a long time. Nothing to think about, do them with my eyes closed.

Hi @rlt I just visit your page well your work is fine . I appreciate your work .
on the topic

I commit to posting each day. That's why I prefer small but clearly define post that are sustainable for a long time.

I like your these line . No doubt every day atleast one post make you strong day by day . Because if you not post so how Steemians support you . Good luck my support always with you .
Stay blessed and Steem on👈

@syedkashifhussai - Thank you for visiting my posts and for your kind words.

I appreciate you support and kind words. Yes, correct you need to give the Steemians something to support. Steem onward and upward my friend.

Thank you @rlt47

ON THE TOPIC 9
Now that you mention it, I now see your pattern of commitment and how you have work life balance because it is true, you do have short posts that are still enriching but like you said sustainable so that you can post everyday. That is basically my version of when I post the weird things that keep me up at night. Short posts when I have writers block but I really do have stuff that I wonder too much about that is just silly lol.

@teggit,

ON THE TOPIC - 20
You are affected by a classic case of the young enquiring mind. I doesn't profit you anything only cost precious time. I don't think about anything other than what I would like to post, how I will structure it, and the daily content... then execute, execute, execute! Perfect life balance!

ON THE TOPIC 11

You are right my mind never stops and is very analytical and inquisitive. It works in my favour when it comes to social situations and noticing the humour in life. But it does feel wasteful sometimes when I could be sleeping. But it is honestly been getting better lately! Instead I can concentrate on exactly what I want to write about and like you said how to structure it perfectly.

on the topic

Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original .

regularly make you perfect . Do post every day and don't think your post not perfect . No one perfect in this world . When you post every day then you know your mistakes . And you learn your mistakes . Then you make a good post .
I saw your posts everyday thats good . You will get big responce oneday .
My support always with you .
Stay blessed and Steem on👈

** ON THE TOPIC**

That's a great news to hear my friend that your reputation soared to 52 from 36 because of the activities in this group. Its really a awesome group.

Stay blessed steem on👈

Happy to see your response..
ON THE TOPIC

I think, I too was thinking about preparing for quitting Steemit and that is when I came across this group may be barely 10 or 15 days back. Its delighted to see many people there to share and care through this group. May be our writing skills also gets improved...

Have a nice day...Keep Steeming

**on the topic **

Hi @angelro, congrats on making your first intro post. Have visited, commented and upvoted. All the best! Happy Weekend!

True..It feels good and makes happy days for us when we know there are some true gem of personalities are there in the outer world that we are friends with and for sharing and caring...

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

ON THE TOPIC - 06
@angelro - yes, it is very important the point you have raised. As members of the group we must visit each others post, we must commit to supporting these members first and boost each others posts. It is difficult because Steemit wasn't designed for this. I will try harder to do this at least once or twice a week. this should be factored in our work-life balance pertaining to Steemit.

ON THE TOPIC 10
This is a great goal to include in our time on steemit to make sure we are supporting each others posts. Especially when for some this is more of a job and passion then just a brief thing to do once in awhile. I know the site wasn't built for this but I am sure that people like me who joined not so long ago planned on having bots controlling so much and built to make people more profit hahaha. Learning that was a bit defeating but I am not worried about the money.

on the topic
We need Steem power then steemit fun for us . This HH Group is power and fun for us . Where we can share our feeling our fun and our activities . I hope everyone understand ...
Stay blessed and steem on!

ON THE TOPIC 10

True, it was one of my concern after few weeks of Steemit life and happened in continuous communication with few other members which I thought these people can automatically become virtual friends. That is when there I realized there no option to get a notification from any people that we wish to make. Only we have to check their pages without fail.

As you suggested we must make sure once in a week or so we should visit our group friends pages and support them as much as we can. And from this HHG 5 page it may be easy too

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

ON THE TOPIC - 25
@angelro - My work life balance says today is the day that I should check everyone's post - lol!

Hahaha...

Loved this moment...and I too will make sure today or tomorrow I will check everyone's in this group...
Please visit my Introduce myself post too..

Love and Regards,

ON THE TOPIC - 28
@angelro - Hha! I know it's funny as hell, but ever since I've been writing for the contests, it seems my balance is out of sync - I've definitely not being commenting on posts as often as I should.

Some times losing balance on any stuff happens to be for some good cause, that you will become tougher and stronger by learning how to stand again. Is it?
So dont worry..Have fun...

If any member of HHG have new Post you can share link with us on HHG page .
on the topic
After we can visit any member page and support . We dont have steem power we are weak we need help each other . When we help each others then other Steemians see us then they also come our page .
Stay blessed steem on!

@syedkashifhussai - That is a great idea!

Awesome ideas @syedkashifhussai.
ON THE TOPIC

ON THE TOPIC - 02
I seems that you have now adopted Steemit as part of your work-life rather than having to shy away from it!

Hello @syedkashifhussai, yes I wish for all of us to reach our target. Steem price is sliding down now, I think we all should take this opportunity to go and buy a little bit at least... depends on our budget.
You too, stay blessed and take care.

Thanks @ainie.kashif, for keeping us active weekly with new challenges, and growing as a community.

ON THE TOPIC
Story about my work life. We have are own business but I never took interest in. I go to office sometime when it’s really important otherwise I’m home. How did i started working on my passion? It took me 5 whole years to know what I excatly want to do in life? I tried many things like programming, interior ect. It was really depressing period for me. But then finally I got to know that I’m intersted in fashion. I spend 4-5 hours searching and reading about fashion. I’m still working on it. Right now, I’m happy and relaxed. But I also want be independent woman. I want to buy my own home and interior it by myself. I have joined steemit because of my dream and I’m sure one day I will get successful on steemit. I want people know me as a good fashion blogger.Hopefully one day my dream will come true. In Shaa Allah! Thank you everyone.😊

hey @shanu

ON THE TOPIC - 7

Your story really is so strong, and I believe that you will be successful and that steemit will help you in your success. I know how you feel trying to many things and not knowing where you belong in work because your heart is somewhere else. With something you love. I know three sisters who were obsessed with fashion and design and made a company based on ethically made, organic clothing. Whether they made it themselves or for their children, they are becoming very successful. I will give you their website as they are a great example of women who share the same passion as you.

Hi @teggit,
ON THE TOPIC
Thank you so much for your wishes. Yes, it was really frustrating when i was trying so many things and got upset all the time. Now I’m happy and contented with my passion. @teggit, thanks for sharing story about three beautiful and inspiring sisters. I love their clothing design. Awesome!😊👍

No problem I hope they inspire you.

hello, @shanu, I like your story, remember the limits are only in the mind, if that is your passion, study, prepare, design, you have the opportunity to explore everything you want to find, to achieve your dreams.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Hi @rvag5, your story is also very inspiring to us, being two kids mother how do you balance your work and professional life. thanks a lot dear for your awesome advice. Im definitely gonna follow what you said to achieve my dream. What else I want when I have friend like you, so supportive and motivating. Thank you once again @rvag5.😊

Hi my dear, since your research and work doing what you like, I bet time goes by flying.
You probably has importations and topics to post all day long.
I wish I could post more about my work, but I’m not allowed to give any financial advice here. Then I would have tooocs for all day long.

@shanu - Yes, show me some passion!

Oprah passion!

Oh! I was waiting this. Thank you so much @rlt47

@Shanu
Just another thought: maybe you could do a post about what is on trend for each season as they come, even for ones in different countries for men and women...so at least we know haha we need your style guide!

Hey! @teggit, thanks a lot for your suggestion. I will definitely try this. I have recently post about new season clothing.

Oh I must have missed it and I will check it out!

Hai Shanu...Hope your days are good..

ON THE TOPIC 16

Quite happy hear a story from the heart. When there is WILL, there is a WAY. All the best in advance and we steemiens HHG members are there to help you in any way to achieve your dream.

Though I came to know you were crazy on fashions, I never thought you are really into it to make it your profession. When you really need anything and the determination you are shown in this brief you already won half of the battle...

So carry on with your passion on Steemit..

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Yeah @angelro I’m doing well how about you?
ON THE TOPIC
Thank you for your kind words. I’m overwelcomed after reading your comment. I’m so lucky to have you guys in my life. I never knew that i will have so many good friends on steemit. Steemit really changed my life I’m so happy @angelro. I will always there for you guys! Thanks a lot once @angelro. May God bless you whatever you wish for. Ameen!!😊

I am good and wish you a nice day with lots of Fashion updates..

Your reply made my day too. I am too happy there are many friends now to communicate with. SO far I never ever interested in Virtual friends, especially one another that hates FB. But here every one seems to be genuine and ready to communicate for the problem that members are raising.

I think slowly I am too getting addicted to Steemit if you people are around...Have a nice day too..

Hahaha😊that’s good, just like me and other #HHG members, #HHG is getting addictive. Thanks a lot @angelro. Have a good day.

I can realate with your experience.
It took years of pondering and wondering, before I realized that it was my destiny to blog on steemit.

ON THE TOPIC

It's important to make out time for work. Life on steemit can be time consuming.

Creating a schedule for your activities is something that helps.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Thanks for understanding my situation @jacksondavies.
ON THE TOPIC
As you now I’m not doing any job right now. Being in a family I need to spend time with them, sometime when guests are home or there is family outing. Then it gets little hard to catch up all things which I have missing during this time. Steemit is time comsuming and other sites are too. I have to go through all these. I cannt give dedicated time to my passion. I spend time on my passion whenever i get time. I will soon setup my time for my work life soon. But right now, I’m not taking stress and enjoying it. Thanks a lot @jacksondavies for your suggestion. Stay happy and blessed! Steem on!

ON THE TOPIC - 21
@shanu, Yes indeed family life and work life is important and can't be ignored. I'm a morning person so now it it is 00h31, I just got up now I will be catching up on some stemmit... So let me motivate you and encourage you to follow your dreams. Don't use family or work time, but make some extra time.

@rlt47: thanks for motivating me always. U are idealistic person. I should learn from you lot of things.
ON THE TOPIC
I do get time in night mostly. So, I try to make most of it. Time management is first to key to success. I also want to write everyday, but I’m not able to do that. I need to work on it. Thank you @rlt47 for encouraging me do my best everyday. Take care and have a pleasant day!😊

ON THE TOPIC

You're right, steemit is definitely time consuming.
But we still have to figure out a way to make time for it.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

ON THE TOPIC
Yes @jacksondavies, because we should also encourage and praise other work too by reading their post and commenting on it. Only then we can be successful on steemit. I got so many nice friends on steemit. Spending time on steemit is worth.😊

ON THE TOPIC

Definitely.
Something as simple as telling an author that he did a good job with his piece, might be all he/she needs to uplift his/her day.

Authors spend so much time and energy crafting their work.
A little bit of appreciation evey now and then goes a long way.

@jacksondavies - Hi Buddy, welcome back!

Thanks @rlt47. It feels good to be back.

Hi Shanu, I'm all for you into fashion blogging. It's the happiest to be able to do what we loved most. I am naturally like to motivate people, even in my normal days. I have one time being called to speak in front of 3,000 undergraduates during convocation time about how to apply for a job and do's and don't in job application. So this interest of mine, now I applied to my Steemit blogs and it made me happy doing something that I loved most, motivating people. Work-life balance is a litle bit hard to juggle for now and I wish for all of us to be successful here doing what we loved most. Thanks for sharing with us your stories. Each day is a new day to explore each other's stories. Take care Shanu and Stay Blessed!

Thank a lot @ainie.kashif for reading my stories. U are a wonderful friend and leader. It’s great to know you have spoken 3000 people and montivated them. You are everything one can look for in good mentor. I will also happy have mentor like you. I appreciate whatever u have taught us. I’m so grateful to have your guidance and support. Thank you Ainie. You also take care.😊

on the topic
Hi @shanu I read your story very interesting . I wish your dream will come true . And I also believe on steemit this is right plateform and right way where our dream will come true .
Best of luck @shanu .
Stay blessed and Steem on!

ON THE TOPIC
Thank you @syedkashifhussai for reading my story and wishing me luck for my dream. I’m working on it, hopefully I will also get successful like other successful steemians. N I also wish you the same. In Shaa Allah we all will be successful in our dreams one day. You too stay blessed and happy. Steem on!😊

Finally, the group that I am waiting to present again in the 5th edition
welcome to Hello Hello Group #5
How are you doing @ainie.kashif ??
May all your dreams be accomplished

On Topic

Here is my story
I join here already a month more.
I used to sign up but I lost my password. And I do not care about this platform anymore. In February I saw my friend @hattaarshavin very successful at #dsound and I was tempted and wanted to supplement my income beyond my current income. Since I can not sing I try to make a post about my work as #woodworking.
I think looking for income in steemit is very easy. It turns out we really have to make a nice and original post. I do not give up because I have the nature of liking challenges. Like the motto of life that I hold.
"Hard work never betrays results"

Now I'm liking to make a post about the motivation of life in the form of articles. I really like it because I get vote from people who like my article. And writing becomes a beautiful thing and not wasting my time if saha is waiting for wooden customers. hahaaaa
that's a bit about my story.

Bravooo

ON THE TOPIC 2
You are so right, everyone in this groups is so original and it is refreshing to see so many different posts from people you chat with during the week. Your idea of liking challenges is unique as most do not. I have found that making myself write everyday has been my challenge, but I feel so good afterwards. It sounds like you found exactly what you didn't know you were looking for which is to write about motivation, when initially it was to be about woodworking. That is amazing to me. I am always happy to read motivational posts especially on my bad days. It gives me things to be grateful for just like the people in this group.

Hello @teggit
How are you ?

On The Topic

as beginners we need people who have high sp.
If we follow the right rules on this platform and do not beg for votes from people who have high sp, maybe one day we will succeed. The usual thing if the post is still irregular and not focused. Because we are still a beginner.
Always do positive things and create original and quality posts. surely we will be visited by great people. Hopefully

I am great @gumegxgolgom thank you for asking. You are right. My biggest problem is definitely trying to connect with people with high sp that are willing to comment back and still be part of the community. But I still look!

I agree @teggit
always success

@gumegxgolgom - I love your story, especially since you enjoy the challenges.

ON THE TOPIC - 03
It seems that you have no life-work balance issues since you joined steemit, in fact, it looks as if things just got better for you. LOL!

Thanks @rlt47
How about your contest ?

On The Topic

I learned a lot of positive things from friends around who joined in steemit as well. Although there are many ways to cheat but in my opinion it is not good. And in this group I am very happy to participate and meet you friends
always success

ON THE TOPIC - 22
@gumegxgolgom - Yes, having good friends on Steemit is a positive way to attain work-life balance; as our social interaction is a positive thing!

@gumegxgolgom, Good morning and hope u good..

Nice to hear from you and about your story....

ON THE TOPIC

You were not bothered about Steemit and your reputation level is 46, Wow..wonderful and I was thinking if you were so active what would had been the level...(Just kidding).

I am again amused by hearing that a killing income is possible from Steemit and I am seriously thinking to research how. Please elaborate this liking contest. And about writing, its true that there is something behind writing, a self satisfaction. I am nowhere near to call me as a writer but it was my dream too to make something and finally I succeeded to a limit. I am not sure whether it will be recognised in steemit to earn something worth.

My entry to Steemit was that travel blogs as suggested by a friend when I requested to review my blog and she immediately suggested me to join Steemit. My first post in this platform was also one of my blog. I am posting here..Those who have the time and mood please go through and I would be happy if someone can resteem it..A write up on one of the famous place close to Sri Lanka..

Thanks @angelro

On The Topic

as I've talked about first.
if you focus on steemit and have creativity steemit will certainly pay you. But the prises to be paid are hard to explain. maybe because i'm not good in english.
writing belongs to a category that many people love. and saga saw many of the stemians who have high sp that make posts about writing. if we can invite them to visit our post and they like our post. you are lucky
like one of my articles about * the secret of life * visited by #arama
I am very happy.

Hai my friend @gumegxgolgom...Nice to communicate with you and I am really happy you responded with my opinions. Thanks to the link that i will sure go through..

ON THE TOPIC 14

Your first sentence says everything, focus, creativity and the price that you need to pay. I am not bothered with the result but what I feel there is some mechanism is required to acknowledge that creativity and passion in the early stages of steemit life. I am not talking about the money part but only so many creative things are there which unattended by this community for newbies especially...I amy be wrong but just saying.

That price to be paid may be mainly time, is it?

And agree, writing is a skill, an art and an inborn special talent. Hope one day someone may like my blogs too as you suggested...

Keep replying...

I agree with your opinion.

On The Topic

It's very hard to lure them to like our post. Do not give up and continue to be creative on this platform.
Someday we will also like them. And we still maintain and help each other in terms of creativity. this is our goal to enter in this group.

Good to hear your support...

As you said our own HHG community shall try their best to help each other for others growth in this steemit as much as possible..

Have a good day my friend

ON THE TOPIC
Hi @gumegxgolgom, I went through your article. Happy to see you are also trying different ideas along with your woodworking blog. @ainie.kashif always give us new ideas to try. Thanks a lot to her. And thank you so much for sharing link. Keep it up! And stay blessed!

ON THE TOPIC - 14
@angelro - If you are serious about making money on steemit, you need to realise for many people it doesn't happen overnight. Steemit must be a daily habit and mostly for fun. If you are not having fun, and you are stressed about making money right now, you are going to force the issue and you will not be successful. I want to build Steemit also to bring me a small income one day, but I must commit now for then. In five years from to day Steemit will be different for all of us. We will be dolphins and whales.

Steemit is like the ocean, if you want to swim in the ocean, in the beginning you have lots of waves so swimming is difficult - but behind the wave swimming is easier.

So just do simple things each day to improve your position. Increase you income per post. Post twice if once is too little. Make sure your RP grows, because this makes you more visible.

ON THE TOPIC 13

I never thought about till this moment to indulge with Steemit for money and as I said It is beyond my understanding that it is possible. Must be true, but for me miles and miles to go for to reach anywhere near to the first step of that destination.

Steemit for me is just fun, purely fun to converse with totally strangers (Not the members in this group, all of you are friends now but until I join this group). Sharing the blog like stuff I made for some travelling, some funny photos that has been taken till date - But there is one killing fact now, I look forward to write more and started to look for some interesting photographs all the time. -

Exactly as you said, its an ocean and I am just a kid standing on the shore wondering about the number of waves and number of sand...So hope one day I too starts swimming. like that 5 years time frame..I too may fix a target.

I am happy with that suggetion, I will try to post everyday. to involve myself with steemit...

Have a good day too...

Hi @angelro, just believe in yourself and keep up the good work. If u want to write more about traveling and it’s good that u are not thinking to make money on steemit and you take it as a fun. U can enjoy it lot. Blogging is a good thing. Keep it up.👍

It is always a happy feeling to get a response from you all..

ON THE TOPIC 18

Self belief was one thing which looked like sufficiently shortage in me..haha just kidding..
I like travelling and very lately only I thought of making some sort of write up to remind me myself later, then the same thought was forced me to make it a blog like stuff. Then I googled for few days to get some sort of guidance in writing and I realized it is not a small deal to make a decent write up. Because few write ups I prepared just an explanation without a proper beginning or sequence etc.

Then I was so determined in my mind to make a least minimum of one or two write ups. Then all my thoughts were concentrated only on that aim. All the available time leaving office related and home I spend to ponder about how can I succeed in that and finally I was successful atleast to satisfy myself with a proper introduction and conclusion (which were the most demanding portion)

When you have time please visit https://exploredeindia.wordpress.com/ where you could find my blogs. I already have few more which I will post later..

Appreciate you for stopping by...

Hi, @angelro,
ON THE TOPIC
I visited your traveling blog. It’s really nice and well managed by you. I should learn from you guys that even after hectic office schedule, how you guys manage to do improve everyday and balance your time. Awesome!😊 keep it up!

Thanks a lot Shanu di for going through the blog and most importantly for letting me know about your valuable opinion.

ON THE TOPIC

If there is a will there is a way...Or like the famous quote by Paulo Coelho "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it" you will sure to be able to succeed in your desire. Because you know, whenever we comes across you here there must be a natural silent prayer be there from the deepest corner of our hearts to fulfill your dreams too...

Have a nice day...Now would need to be in a small get together as it is holiday...

Bravo @gumegxgolgom, I am happy to see you now is venturing into new blogging path. I wish you all the best. Thanks so much for sharing your stories. I wish for us to get to know each other better. Work-life balance also must be taken care of so that we can be more successful yet peace. Hahaha, you should try to sing at least one time like @syedkashifhussai new interest. I fully agree with your life motto "Hard work never betrays results"... let's hold on to that principe together. Stay blessed and wishing you a pleasant day.

HELLO! HELLO! GROUP THEME NRO. 5
The Story of @ rvag5.
Hello My dear group of @ainie.kashif, for me it is a pleasure to share with you the time in this community, here a little of my history.

  1. My work and life balance, I found it 15 years ago, when I decided professionally to start working independently, since I had my second child, and decided that I should dedicate more time to him, that way I rent an office and I began to render my accounting services to my small clients that I managed, from there to date, my schedule is done by me, when I arrived at Steemit, the thing got complicated, because I was spending a lot of time dedicated to it, and I was neglecting my work, which I like to exercise so the income is not adequate at this time, so not to complicate my life, I decided, manage it at night when I get home, I dedicate approximately 04 hours a day, in my office at the time I also dedicate my time to lunch, including reading, publishing, reviewing publications, trends.
  2. My challenge in Steemit, first to have more than 1000 followers, and become a curator, and that all my publications are trends, because when we are in trend we are well positioned in the network, that my publications are of contribution to growth personal and economic of the people that make up this community.

To continue here the important thing is perseverance, perseverance, we must continue swimming until we achieve what we want, luck for all.

Hey @rvag5

ON THE TOPIC 5

First I want to commend you for being such a dedicated mother while still looking for a place in the work sector. To me that is the most amazing achievement. And the fact that of course Steemit does become addicting at first and making sure you aren't letting it take over your work would be difficult.
It sounds like by learning to manage your time you are having more success and to have articles trending would be so cool. I cannot imagine having that many followers, you are an inspiration and I hope you I can do as you do one day.

Hello @teggit, I like your story, remember the limits are only in the mind, if that is your passion, study, prepare, design, you have the opportunity to explore everything you want to find, to achieve your dreams.
Beautiful your words, so you never lose the north of what you want to achieve, so you have a thousand obstacles.

@rvag thank you for your kind words.

HAI @rvag5, Nice to meet you here and happy to know more about you too.

ON THE TOPIC 17

I loves that attitude of many members here to earn and stand independently even the earning is relatively lower than what they might get. As you said some platforms are gets us addicted. So better to leave such stuffs like FB, Insta, Twitter etc where there is literally no benefit to life.

But in Steemit as many people are opined, if you can try to squeeze the time from WORK LIFE balance it seems this one is a real game changer platform. Also from the Reputaion score you are already an established member, so keep on continue in the best possible way maintaining your family life so sweet..

Whatever the support we could do, we will...

Have a nice day too...

ON THE TOPIC -10
@rvag5 - Wow, it seems you have a great work-life balance. I'm not surprised you had a bit of trouble with Steemit in the beginning, it is very addictive. also, steemit has such a lot going on it is difficult to keep track of everything. It is also difficult to be caught up in new things on this platform if one is not cautious. which could again affect one's balance.

a very inspiring story @rvag5
I want to comment on your story.

On The Topic

I really like your story. Many people also ignore existing work and focus on steemit. Some are successful and some are failing.
the lesson I get here is if we combine work and steemit will be a great thing. But we have to produce creativity always
Keep trying to hope that what you want will be achieved.
send regards for success

ON THE TOPIC
Hello @rvag5 how are you dear? Your story is very inspiring to me. Balancing working life as well as being a mother of two, itself a challenge for you. But I know u are a strong woman. You will handle everything well. It’s good that u decided to give time to steemit in the night because steemit need time and dedication too. U will definitely acheive your goals on steemit for sure. Keep up the good work @ rvag5. Thanks for sharing your story.😊

Hi @rvag5, you are a very dedicated person. I like your daily schedule, that sounds good to follow. My best wishes to you always, hope you will achieve your goal soon. I fully agree with you perseverance is the key to be holding on in this platform. Take care and Stay blessed!

** ON THE TOPIC**
Read your story and I see one similar thing in our story that steemit was boring before I met such a kind hearted person @ainie.kashif. I love to read her post n one day she started ##HHG and this was also a big changed in my life. I got so many nice friends, their support and love.

Hello my fellow HHG brothers and sisters

ON THE TOPIC 8

Well I believe the truth frees us all, and if there is anyone in a similar position as myself then, just as in my blog I tell the truth. As of right now I do not have a job. I struggle with mental illness and in the past few months it has been intense and I am on my way to feeling better. So to keep me occupied, I have allowed Steemit to essentially become my hobby, and my job is to get better. This is a hard truth. I want to be working and I cannot wait to be back in school in September to be a Paralegal. But in the mean time I have to focus on my health so that I can do amazing in University again. I have a long road ahead and Steemit is a constant reminder to keep going. It gives me deadlines (like contests), and something I have to do everyday, and I am proud of myself everyday. Also just like having a job, it has allowed me to socialize without leaving my place which is sometimes difficult for me or I have no energy too. I appreciate everyone here who is working so hard at their jobs, have families, and still contribute on steemit. You are everything I wish to become and I feel I am on that path.

Steemit has..
-Given me something to look forward too
-A way to express myself
-A hobby/job to do
-People in my life that are supportive and amazing
-Excitement
-Takes my mind off everyday battles

Getting well is my job, but steemit is my hobby that keeps me sane.
Go in a good way.

@teggit - wow, you are an amazing person, such strength and such character!

ON THE TOPIC - 23
You are proof that steemit can be and is beneficial to ones, health and self-esteem. You have indeed proven that life-work balance is up to the individual....

Steem onward and upward!

Thank you, it really is a great community.

hello @teggit, When you turn obstacles into challenges, I assure you that you knock down all the barriers, here you have to be persistent and constant, do not be afraid, publish everything you want, until you find your niche.

Hi @teggit, It’s great to see your positive attitude towards your life. U will be fine soon don’t worry just be positive in life always. I see, you enjoy on steemit and write story about your life or day today events. Just write it down and post.👍you have very good writing skill just put in words.😊

Thank you @shanu for your continued support. hugs.

Most welcome @teggit 😊

Hi @teggit, where are you dear? Hope You are doing well

Sorry I have been at my parents farm and didn't take my computer with me. I had some self reflection time haha. I was absent for this topic very much so, but I will be at it again and I am keeping a close eye on your fashion posts! @shanu <3

@teggit, it’s good to see your msg. I’m happy u are having good time with parents. Enjoy! Thank you so much dropping by my page.😊

Hi @teggit, my super duper apologies for the late response. I have been away to recharge myself after that big event of mine last Sunday (March 25). As a perfectionist, it was not my best delivery for that event, but I did receive a bunch of compliments from many people that made me calm down. I received a box of expensive chocolate as a thank you note from a club member and also a speech by the Captain complimenting me for that successful event... and so I feel that my task has accomplished and I deserve a deep rest before my next big event in early May.
I am sorry to hear about your battles. I am all with you to keep your mind busy doing something that can keep you occupied from your everyday battles. I am an OCD for perfection and gets frustrated when things doesn't go the way that I like. I am very happy that you are part of HHG, you are gonna make a fine lawyer one day. My prayers with you. Please please take care and wishing you a pleasant weekend. Hugs from me.

Thank you @ainie.kashif I have been rather absent to this group this week as I was concentrating on my health but it was still a very nice topic and I am glad to see that everyone can be so open and share their struggles and successes with each other. Take care!

My story starts from the time when one of bestfriend told me about the steemit!
I was not serious about the steemit at that time. My steemit account was 3 months old but i have started writing my post in regular basis from last month.


1

Steemit gives me a confident. A confident when i talk with people, when i take photos(everytime with bigger smile) etc. I never feel useless.

2

Steemit gives me a courage! Its been two years that I'm planning about opening my Youtube channel but never happened. Finally, now i have decided to open my channel and preparing for it!

ON THE TOPIC

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I wish I had more time to be steeming.

I log in in the morning before I go to work, bathroom breaks ( I’ve going to the restroom a lot since I joined), lunch breaks ( eat at my desk, I’ve told people not to disturb me, lol), before I get in my car to drive home (I’m getting home at least 20 minutes later, but not because of traffic, I wonder why), and at home ( between cooking, being a mom and wife).

The funny thing is that I am a compliance manager for a financial broker dealer, in order for me to get an account with steemit I had to ask permission from my supervisors. It is considered a conflict of interest and an Outside Business Activity.

@xlaylamx - Hha, it so funny that your are sneaking off to have Steemit time.

ON THE TOPIC - 15
Yes that is another issue we haven't really touch on, if someone is in formal employment they sometimes have red tape which could make things really difficult.

Yes, you really have it tough finding a good way to be on Steemit. That's why I keep my post really short, so I prepare them a month in advance and just cut and paste on the day. I also so do quick, posts and contests. just to keep moving ahead.

ON THE TOPIC

Indeed my friend. Being proactive gives you more free time.
Time management is the secret behind it.

ON THE TOPIC - 19
Hha! I don't know if it really gives me free time. What it does for me is it gets the issue of posting everyday out of the way...then, I can spend my time doing the more creative steemit things = No Free Time! LOL!

a very interesting story @xlaylamx

On The Topic

In using steemit we must be smart to set the time for other work is not disturbed.
And in this group we discuss our story of us organizing time. I've written an article

maybe you can take advantage of my article.
I salute you with your struggle
keep the spirit and success always

ON THE TOPIC

At work, I’m responsible for compliance and operations. I organize my day as compliance first and operations second.
2 major compliance topics, more compliance until noon, after lunch, I take care of operations and other small compliance responsibilities.

Setting priorities is how I start my day.

Hello again!

ON THE TOPIC 11

Wow you are very excited to be on steemit and that is the best attitude to have especially when you are so busy. I like to hear that you are always checking it and wanting to have more time to yourself to build your platform on steemit. It is unfortunate that your work thinks it may be a conflict of interest but I am glad they gave you the opportunity to have an account so that we can get to know you. The only time I find it being a conflict of interest is we get so addicted to checking it. I know I make myself eat breakfast before I check it hahaha.

Hello @xlaylamx, Welcome again to HHG5! I can actually feel your busy days as I am having one myself. And on top of all that meetings and office works, I need to also write for the magazine. The write up involving interviewing and profiling long-serving staff which is quite stressful for me to juggle in between my busy days and to remember deadline for submitting the story for the magazine publication. I always complaint that I wish there's 30 hours a day so that I perhaps can have more time to complete some tasks.
Thanks for sharing your story. Stay blessed and Happy Weekend!

Hello @ainie.kashif
Meet again at Hello .. Hello .. Group .. The 5th

this is my story since joining in steemit platform

On The Topic

I was introduced by #gumegxgolgom who happened to be my neighbor as well as my neighbor.
I follow all that is taught by him.
I work as a security in one of the companies here.
While using steemit I am not bored anymore in my work. This is one of my advantages in working.
Because all the time in work is keeping security in the post.
Now I can be creative during working hours. this is amazing. So no time is wasted. There are no obstacles as long as I use steemit.
I just have not found out what is my focus here.
Thank you and succses

Try your hand at topics that interest you.

Hello, hello, @ainie.kashif and all of HHG5 - It's good to be back with a fresh new topic! I'm so sorry to hear that you are taking such terrible strain. Please at @ainie.kashif you need to take it easier and not become too personally involved.

ON THE TOPIC - 01
Work-life balance, what a lovely topic! I usually don't do social media. I don't have a facebook, instagram, twitter - I used to have but no more. Particularly because these sites are so addictive. I'm not wrong, I find it difficult to cope with the damands of Steemit, however as @ainie.kashif has suggested, it's part of a bigger plan.

Glad you are here as I was thinking you were so active in the last HHG4.

ON THE TOPIC 6

I tend to agree with you and I feel I have more plus points than negatives for not having Facebook, instagram etc. Personally for me FB is something like intruding on others private matters and for FB account holders it is like exposing their private life to complete strangers. Please its only my personal thoughts.

As @rlt47 said, I think I saved a lot of time especially in work front due to not involved in FB mainly, even in the case of whats up I used to inactive once in a month or once in two months to get a complete isolation for life from not so useful forwarding messages and silly arguments etc.

And even steemit too seems to be time consuming, but atleast here we have a choice of publishing our creativities and getting paid for it..

@angelro - Yeah, I was active on HHG 4, but my time is over. I had an input to make, and that's what I did. I then saw through the implementation. But, I had a leadership role - I am not the leader. I have a problem with people in life like politicians, who have a leadership role, then just take over...lol!

ON THE TOPIC -12
Correct, many social media platforms don't have any value for the user's. Perhaps just for a handful. But it is really destructive to your life balance. even my whatsapp is on need to do basis. sometimes i only look at messages days later (shameful I know). But for me right now quality of life is very important.

Hai Dear @rlt47...

Why are you thinking your time is over but I am again seeing you so active here too and Keep it up. And when we were talking about the leadership in Steemit why you tend to compare it with political leadership. They are in fact special creatures with registered trade marks such as skin power and making a fool out of their electorates..hehehe..

ON THE TOPIC 12

I am happy I was never ever active into FB, see what unethical things they had done now to the millions of users world wide. But for me it was saving lots of time too which I might had used productively. Even whatsup I again agree with you. Even I prefer to visit a close friend once in a week rather that talking over phone everyday, that makes more intimacy...

I think to make an effective work life balance one should reduce the amount of time spends in FB, Insta etc...

@angelro - I was more active on HHG 4 because I was commenting and managing the changes. yes I don't tend to to distinguish between leadership roles. In principle it can always be exploited no matter how insignificant it is.

Ok...Carry on depends on your prerogatives and preferences...We would always look forward with someone like you, not only in steemit HHG but on that process if something positives can be taken out of it that too be an advantage..

Hello friend!

ON THE TOPIC

No social media??? I feel like abandoned my instagram followers since I joined steemit. I have no time to do both.
And Facebook, I need to maintain, that’s how my family in Brazil know that I’m alive.

@xlaylamx - Hello, and welcome back!

ON THE TOPIC - 08
The term work-balance is really a tough word to decide what's really important to your life. I understand that social media has it's place and you need Facebook. I not only don't have social media, but i got rid of my television set about 2 years ago. It just takes too much of my time. I rather spend that time writing an article, going for a walk, catching up on Steemit, trying something new. My quality of life has improved greatly.

ON THE TOPIC

I don’t do it tv either.
I rather spend my time steeming now. I will be working from home this week and that will be insteresting, how I will be managing my time between Home, work, and steemit.

That is wonderful, that you are also off television. It is a great disrupter of life balance.

each person has the right to choose, it's your choice, keep the spirit and keep it to produce the best content, not all social media is good, sometimes even make us addicted, I've also stopped some of my social media accounts, same as what you feel ............ thanks for sharing

Here is what ex Facebook executive says about social media.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

ON THE TOPIC
U are right @rlt47, these sites are time taking, u need lots of time to go through all these sites. Even steemit needs time but it is worth spending time on steemit, u learn lots of things, people are so serious about their job and it is also support you financially. Ainie is right, it’s definitely a bigger plan.😊 n u see, also met so many nice friends on #HHG😊

I agree with this whole convo going on. The reason I have kept my fb and instagram is because computer storage and back up drives soon become so incompatible that I find I have to hack into old ones just to see old pictures. So I just use them to put my pictures up where I know they will stay forever and I can always find them again. Sounds silly but I love having easy access to my pictures as they take me right back to the moment I took it.

Hi @teggit, everyone have their own choice, some people wanna be on social media other may not be. I also use Instagram and Pinterest for fashion related things but I don’t use them for my personal life. So, it’s okay if u are on Instagram as far as u enjoy it.😊I will also follow you on Instagram to see your beautiful dresses. Thank you and stay happy. Steem on!🤗

How do I find you on instagram?

Hello @rlt47, I am back after my long break... and fresh as ever to stimulate our spirit here. I am surprise that most of us don't favor Facebook and Instagram which would mean that we don't like to waste time and really care for our privacy. That's how I see social media now. I don't feel addictive, just feel sometimes tired with drama from many people there. I hate dramas that were put up to take other people's attention. I have been always putting myself as low profile as possible and of course FB is not my cup of tea.
We are here in Steemit working tirelessly to aim for the bigger plan. We shall continue and strive hard to ensure we reach our goal by end of this year. First step to reach end of this year with a more rewarding Steemit... better RP and bigger wallet for all of us.

ON THE TOPIC

This is very timely topic since I'm struggling now to balance my work schedule and doing steemit. But before I joned steemit I manage to balance my work schedule and life routine by having a good schedule. At first, it's hard, Because my earnings on my previous job my salary is not too big to support my famly needs as I'm the one who support my parent's daily needs before so I need to work full time. But outside of my work I'm doing a voluntary work too. So I pray to God to help me find a job that can lessen my time in working, have a flexible time and earn same earnings with what I got from my full time work. And God answer my prayer as finally I make it to have online and homebased job and have flexible time. And what is more better with it I found steemit too. At the moment, there are some changes in my work schedule so it's very seldom for me now to do posting hereon steemit but I'll try my best to wrte when I have the chance and so with giving comments here. Regards everyone, I miss you all!

ON THE TOPIC - 16
Maybe a whole week, where she can relax and spend all her time on steemit. Yes, it's true I found that when I went to work for myself I have more control over my time and life.

Hello maam @ainie.kashif.
Few moments back i just commented at one my fellow steemian post @rlt47, he suggested me to check your group out. Thank you so much @rlt47 for helping me out.

I'm really amazed too see you adopted Steemit as a part of your life, as i'm a new comer here i usually don't know how does it work but with time i'm learning.
While reading this post i'm so inspired by you.
I hope you achieve your goal and we all Steemians will help you out.
Keep posting maam and never give up @anie.kashif

Welcome to HHG # 5, have fun in this group # On Topic

My activity is pretty flexible, I'm a freelance photographer, no binding job, once I know steemit, usually I start my laptop and upload some pictures in steemit, and this for some time goes well, after that I just do my job the other, help clean up the child, or the other, after spending the morning at home, then I headed to my favorite office, coffee shop ............ coffee while editing consumer photos. this is my little story. where is your story?

Selamat datang HHG #5, selamat bersenang-senang di grup ini
#On Topic

Kegiatan saya lumayan flesibel, saya seorang fotografer lepas, tidak ada kerjaan yang mengikat, setelah saya mengenal steemit, biasanya saya pagi-pagi sudah menghidupkan laptop dan upload beberapa gambar di steemit, dan ini untuk beberapa waktu berjalan lancar, setelah itu baru saya mengerjakan kerjaan yang lain, bantu membereskan anak, atau yang lainnya, setelah menghabiskan pagi dirumah, baru saya menuju kantor favorit saya, warung kopi............ ngopi sambil edit foto konsumen. ini sedikit cerita saya. mana ceritamu?

ON THE TOPIC
Hey! @denni.japro, pretty cool story, having your own job is quite flexible. I have seen people do work from caffees just because the atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. And being a photographer must be a fun. Having sip of coffee and editing pictures. Awesome! Keep it up!👍

ON THE TOPIC 6
I love to hear that you have a career that allows you to be a father, make money, and contribute to the online community especially with all your wonderful posts and pictures. I think that would be the ultimate goal for many people to have a freelance job like that, although I know many people need the structure of an hourly job. Another way we are so unique. I can't wait to get better at editing photos!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

ON THE TOPIC

Hello, that’s pretty convenient, you are lucky. At my job, I cannot access any social media, the online one authorized is LinkedIn, I need to review what employees are posting.

Hello @denni.japro, Welcome again to HHG5! That's a pretty interesting activities... including cleaning up your child :)) You sound relax and enjoy your days. That's good plus the favorite office at warong kopi. Pretty decent normal days right. Thanks for sharing your nice and short story. Stay blessed and Steem On!

ON THE TOPIC

Here comes new topic for discussion for a new week. First of all appreciate Ainie for coming up with worthy and healthy points for everyone to ponder about. That topic might be also like - for many - how one could include Steemit in their WORK -LIFE balance in the best possible way. Is'nt it so? I am just asking...

I am came across few posts and news which i realized earning from Steemit is sometimes much more than a normal regular income from another 9x6 job. I wish I could get some more information on it asap. For me, i love pressure whether in work or in life or in both and in almost all probability my level of concentration may gets higher if there is pressure and so far no work load in my job seems to be a head ache for me so far.

To AINIE, in your endeavor- my personal wish and prayers to become a full time Steemien earning lots of money (when you achieve it we expect to get some treat too) and also i would like to request you one thing too that please avoid tablets as much as possible....

Regard to all let's hear from others too

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Hey @angelro

ON THE TOPIC 3
I believe you that is a very interesting concept and maybe @ainie will add it to the topic because I would love to hear how people might incorporate steemit into their work lives. I think that everyday in work you can find something to write about and share because it is a unique experience that only you could share with us. At least that is how I view my writing.
Do you find that you may be able to make more money on steemit than your job?
What kind of job do you have?

Happy to note that there is some relevance to my suggestion Dear @teggit.

ON THE TOPIC

I think only very few may think about to switch entirely to Steemit for a regular income. Sorry if I am wrong due to my ignorance, if not as @teggit also pointed out it is extremely important to find a way to include any Social Media interactions in a way that it never affect both work and life.

Its my inborn habit not to get stressed for those things which we never been able to control ourselves. Dont laugh on me, my point is for example is that What point in worrying about the exam result of our kid which is beyond our control. So thinking and worrying about the marks until the results are published only hamper our mental and physical health.

For your second question I am yet to realize the potential of a handsome earning from Steemit. Must be possible for that one should be very smart I think.

My job, I am a civil engineer who is fortunate to work with some of the reputed firms for some of the biggest buildings. And I was able to get the things done for my job with proper handling of people involved....

Good to hear from you. Keep updated. Have a nice week ahead.

@angelro

ON THE TOPIC 4
I completely understand if you are a driven person how it might be hard to separate your want to do better the way you do with work, and what limits there might be when it comes to steemit . You must be very busy being an engineer, I don't know how you have time for this at all. My dad is an mechanical engineer so I know how busy the work is.!

Thanks @teggit dear for response. Nice to hear from you.

ON THE TOPIC

For me rather than complaining, enjoy what we have with the job or the situation. Accept whatever GOD given to us with humility and try to cope with it. Dont think I am a philosopher, hehe...May be maturity taught this to me. Further my collegues used to tell me I am too smart with time management during site jobs, meeting etc. And that is one of the key too..

And also I used to list out things to be done on next day in chronological order depends upon its importance and mostly I used to finish it in scheduled time.

And finally and most importantly I hates FB, instagram there by saving lots of time...

Now let me hear others opinion too. Thanks a lot my friend...Keep writing

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

ON THE TOPIC

We are alike! I love pressure too, my husband keeps trying to make me my own boss, but I need someone to respond too, others side I would procrastinate a lot.
Maybe if I did not work full time, I would love to be a blogger, and I’m trying, I still have my instagram account with 2k followers.

Oh...Nice to meet you here friend, You are from which country?

ON THE TOPIC

Happy to know that there are others like me too. For few pressure makes them more concentrate to get the things done. And finally the relief after successfully completing the tasks at the end of the day is so satisfying too. as you said if someone is there to respond the things may become more easy.

I too tries to do some blogging now. And visit this page https://steemit.com/india/@angelro/dhanushkoti-story-of-a-1-7-million-year-old-bridge whenever you have time. I prepared few more between balancing my life and work as I wished to become a writer too whenever I reads some good books.

Im from Brazil but I live in the US.

** ON THE TOPIC**

Time management is not a struggle, but I wish my day was longer and I had more rime for my family.

Ohh..just happy to hear it that you are from Brazil, the land of Pele and Neymer...

ON THE TOPIC 15

Agree, Time management is not a struggle but it is a skill to utilize the available time..It is natural to feel when there is a caring family back in home that the time we are spending with them is always less than we would like to be. Many people are facing that problem it feels.. Enjoy your weekends and Holidays to the fullest. Make sure one or two family trips in an year leaving all the office and job related stuff back in home...

Take care, Keep posting and my regards to all too

Hello @angelro, hahaha the word headache makes me wanna take my tablets again.... no am just kidding okay. Thanks for the kind words and prayers. I wish to be successful together and then we shall be proud telling everyone the story of how all of us meet and click in this HHG although we are all scattered around the world from different countries, cultures and backgrounds. Awesome right!

Hahaha...headache and tablets. one thing I hates is medicines. i believe our body system is capable to withstand normal problems that our body experiences such as mild headaches, fever, tooth ache etc. So cant remember exactly when I had gone to a doctor or had a medicine last time. So when i hear about others taking medicines i really feel not comfortable, so with you too..

And as you said, lets see how far we go in this platform and really it is heartening to know that few people around the world is there to share and care.

Keep steeming...try to reduce the number of tablets and try to not think about that...

Hi @rlt47 sorry sorry sorry... hahahah I am back and back for good... I missed everyone too really. I am doing my review for HHG5 now, will post soon... wow everyone was having a good time here... I am happy to see all expert commentators here. Kitty Kitty so cutie... :))

ON THE TOPIC

My work life balance has been chaotic since I joined steemit.
I gained admission and discovered steemit in the same period of time.

It hasn't been easy switching between school work and steemit, but I've been coping.

@jacksondavies -

ON THE TOPIC - 27

We are indeed pleased that you are coping so well. You should share with the group how you structure your time.

Hello @jacksondavies, thanks for sharing with us your stories. I believe you can cope with a good time management. For me it's more about taking the office stress and this stone on my head that I carry everywhere I blame it all on my office works. Steemit is not a stress for me only my office work is making me half dead all the time. I am happy to learn that you are coping well. Take care and Keep it up!

Thanks @ainie.kashif.
I've got exams coming up in a couple weeks, so my coping strategies will be put to the test.

Hi HHG members!! Good to see you all again...!!
On The Topic
About 6,7 months ago ,my friend told me about the Steemit and about his earning and little bit about the tasks that he performed to earn.. but i was not interested in steemit.. but being a student i was always interested to earn online so i just started thinking about the steemit.. and one night i asked him about steemit and process to join it!!
and finally next day i put my initial data and made an account that was pending for about 5 days to confirmation and activation... meanwhile i forgot about this i just thought there is no such app or site and then afterall one night as i opened my email inbox i received the confirmation email along with some important instructions!! i just followed those steps and made an account on steemit!!!

Hi @nomee004, thanks for sharing your story, I think most of us started Steemit similarly. Me too was not keen to join Steemit. I just wanna check it out and couldn't believe any of the story I heard of it till I myself got hooked to Steemit and planning to use it as my full-time career.

ON THE TOPIC
During the start steemit seems quite boring and useless because i put some important and valuable posts but couldn't be able to get more upvotes and comments because i didn't have much followers and didn't knew about the Steemit much so things keep going and steemit became tedious.

Hi @nomee004, I think most of us faced similar experiences. I had last time posts too many and earnings 0.00 at the beginning of my Steemit life. But then I slowly build my RP by posting regularly and visited many other blogs. You will get there.. just hang on okay.

ON The Topic 03
One days i was tediously reading the new posts on steemit i saw a good post and gave my opinion and thus i met with such a nice personality @ainie.kashif :)
and i asked her some points about steemit and she guided me properly i was much impressed so i followed her... and started visiting her blog .. and then i came to know about this awesome group Hello hello group.. and on HHG4 I followed the rules and joined HHG !!
SO here is the short story of me to join HHG :)

That's nice to know @nomee004, happy to have you here. Hope you will continue to support HHG moving forward. Stay blessed and Steem On!

On The Topic 04
well i have just completed my studies and waiting for the job so i mostly remain free and i have had plenty of time for the steemit. so i use it properly ..
After joining the HHG i try to visit the blog of every member and follow them especialy @ainie.kashif and @syedkashifhussai because every time i visit their blog i find something important and useful information..
i have some good days with HHG IT helped me in increasing my followers and upvotes and much more!!
i will always be proud for being a part of HHG..
SORRY for bad English :) Stay happy and blessed members :)

We are also very happy to support each other here in HHG and we shall be united and continue to help each other in this platform. Don't worry about English... It's not our mother language. Me too, I am also not perfect, but we are here not to learn English but to become top blogger in this platform. Stay blessed too.

Hi @rlt47, I have visited your post just in the nick of time. Sorry for the lateness in visiting this very important post of yours. All of us have had our tough fight in life and we meet here and tried to push ourselves and support each other in our goal to become the top group and top blogger in this platform. My apologies for not being active lately, but HHG is always in my heart and mind. Stay blessed and wishing you a pleasant day.

Holla everyone, I’m excited again.. thanks a lot @ainie.kashif for starting #HHG5. Hope your event went well and now you must be relaxed.😊
ON THE TOPIC
I can imagine your life Ainie, it must be very hectic for you to go for work everyday. Morning to evening, busy all the time. Having your own business is relaxing. In Shaa Allah! one day you will achieve what you wish for.👍stay blessed and happy!

ON THE TOPIC

Let me put something positive for some work related issues people were facing. If you dont feel it to be offensive what I would like to comment here on anyone's hectic schedule etc just think for a moment about tens of 1000s of unemployed youths who were struggling to get a lively hood for their life line. So instead of feeling the job which we have a cumbersome one does it make happier to think we are lucky to have a job that gets us handsome pay out at the end of the month.

Agree, if someone is rich enough to start an own buisiness well and good.

ON THE TOPIC
Yeah excatly @angelro, not everyone is unhappy with their job. People enjoy their job too. We are not here to demotivate them. We are here to discuss about how do we balance our work-life after joining steemit? I agree on what you said about job life. Thank you @angelro.😊

Thanks Shanu for responding...Have a great day ahead...

ON THE TOPIC

I think, for many the other side of the grass is always greener. Even in my career beginning I was having such mentallity. Though it is always like that, it is better to enjoy the work we are having at present. Same time we can search for another job, another profession or other businesses if required. Until we feel happy ourselves we were not able to enjoy then the result is always headache, fights, embarrassment, frustration etc.

And in such condition it would be very difficult to balance WORK And LIFE and ofcourse to incorporate social life including Steemit in it...

Is it so, just my opinion...Let me hear from others too in this regard.

Thanks Shanu for your valuable comments, Keep writing and have a nice day..

hello @shanu
How are you ?
Alhamdulillah I still miss you
