Give me reasons to Keep on Steeming!

Hello fellow Steemians, its GiGi. Although I have experienced moderate success on this platform in the past, I am having a hard time finding the motivation to keep utilizing this platform as a content creator.

Some days, I get a fire under my ass, and am all about steemit. I make a post, and talk about how I am planning to do A B and C. and then POOF. My motivation just evaporates.

Why is this, I wonder? What is the empty void that Steemit fails to fill for content creators?

Back in the "good ol' days" of Steem, you could feel the electricity and excitement from its users. Now, it practically feels like trudgery.

I know Steemit tends to peak and lull like any other coin. And I understand that the ones that can stay determined in the lull will have a bounty in the peak. Kind of like "buying the dip" but in this case, "participating in the dip". Lol.

What do you have to say about staying aboard the Steemit train? Any motivational tips, insights, or tricks to keep yourself motivated to create content on Steem?

Any cool new tools to make Steeming more enjoyable? I have been waiting for 2 YEARS for post scheduling built-in to this platform UGGGGGH

My ears are waiting.... (well moreso my eyes!)
