Anything that you enjoy and/or have a passion for can become an overwhelming influence in our lives if we are not careful. And with Steemit, it's even more possible because many are using the platform to earn a living or at least supplement their existing income.

But is this really an addiction or are you trying to build a future for yourself financially via Steemit? If you are making a good ROI on the time that you are spending here - perhaps you should look at it more in terms of an investment in your future rather than an addiction?

As someone that has been self-employed for more than 40 years - the last 20 or so online - I can tell you that no successful entrepreneur builds a business by working 9 to 5. We DO pay a price, especially in the beginning, in terms of the time we spend on a new venture versus personal life.

For most of us, it does balance out eventually. But....you do need to take a break from anything from time to time, or you risk burnout.

Maybe it's time to sit down and decide what it is that you really want from Steemit, and focus on that aspect, so that you can find a better balance in your life.
