         When the stay home directive happened in Utah, I found myself spending more time around the house. Most of it was cleaning. I was fortunate enough that my employment was not affected. Around the same time, I decided to spend more time writing posts on Hive. I attempted to write a post a day, though not with perfection. That was back in mid-March.

         Several months later, I found myself continuing that habit. The rewards were great! Well, not bad for a hobby. The more important thing was that there were actually some engagement. It feels bad to be on a social platform and no one is interacting with each other.

         The quarantine many faced might have contributed to more interactions. Nevertheless, I appreciate everyone who come and drop off a comment or two on each of my posts! Having peeps like bozz@bozz drop by on a consistent basis makes posting seem worthwhile.

         While on the subject of writing, I've become impressed with how some people could write daily. Not only that, but with consistency and not shitposting all over. When I look at folks like tarazkp@tarazkp, themarkymark@themarkymark, or taskmaster4450@taskmaster4450, I see dedication.

         Throughout this recent journey, I never lacked ideas to what to write about. Most of my writer's block came from articulating my thoughts, as well as time constraints. I'm generally not a fan of long content, so I avoid writing long posts about anything. I've found content around 300-500 words easiest to consume and digest. Photos and videos aren't subject to my lack of attention span compared to text.

         Of course, after several months, I'm starting to feel a bit of a burn out. Lucky for me, it's not like Hive would disappear tomorrow. I could also find ways to be more efficient with my time here. You know what would be a great way to start? Actually using the schedule function on peakd@peakd. That way, I could consolidate my time and have days where I could dedicate to writing and put it on semi-auto.

         One more step to become more immersed in the ecosystem, am I right?
