You know when I saw this prompt, I did not know if I should write about it. As always, I was uncertain but I have decided to push head first now especially when it is something I very well know that I am capable of.

I used to be so hardworking. Doesn't mean that I am lazy now, I just grew complacent and that is more dangerous than procrastinating. Let me use my time on Hive as an example.

Before Hive, I was a sales personnel earning $30 monthly. I was giving it my best. I would sit during my free time and read all about wines. That way, when talking to my customers, I would have enough knowledge to sell. I would consume articles on Whiskey, Cognacs, Brandy, Vodka, their processing and ingredients. I would read feedbacks from clients online because I don't drink.

I would read on Red and White wines, chocolate extracts and whatever else was necessary. I had an edge compared to other sale personnel which made me the favorite of my boss. While the others (in different shops) would sell a bottle or two, I'd be lifting cartons into cars. To the point that I got calls on my days-off from clients because they needed to fill up and they trusted my judgement.

When I got on Hive, I channeled that energy. I began to write, engage and read all I can. I dipped my hands and legs every where on the blockchain. I was such a buzzy bee. So what happened?

I know. It first started with the comparison and then moved to the inability to be like the others. My engagement slowly dropped and before you know it, I was running away like I always do.

At work...with my colleagues

If there is one thing that would make my life easier right now it would be, prioritizing my time and making the most of it. I always have an issue with time management. To the point that I had to reach out to dreemsteem@dreemsteem for help because it got really bad. I would find myself doing a lot only to realize that I had done nothing.

At work...

I believe that being able to effectively prioritize my time would enable me to get the job done. When she told me to cut down on some of the things I do, I thought it would be impossible but I still tried. Then she explained multitasking. I really thought it'll be easy but it is not. However, with practice, I am doing exactly what she recommended. Today, I have written three articles in drafts. I have also gotten some school work done and even gone as far as attending to real life duties.

I started early though and this is epic. If I could build this as a habit, then I would actually be able to make time for myself too. Not that I don't have time to myself but they are mostly spent reading one or two.

Now, I would love to learn how to make time for others too. And I mean people who would need my attention or help. I see people getting really chatty on Discord and I feel left out. This is one more thing that I feel managing my time properly can help me with.
