So I kinda hijacked this account to put this out. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while now and that’s ... why does it sometimes take so long to finally do what you’ve always wanted?

There’s this excitement that comes with joining the Steem blockchain and the allure of freedom and getting rewarded for being you. It’s a bug that gets everyone but it would have been a lot nicer if the effects of this bug could last a little longer.

I’m unsure if it’s due to a “change in environment” or if it’s a human thing but the fact is that it takes some extraordinary efforts to get one over this bug.

Why do most people never return after their first post?

From experience, I can say that this is a gradual process and it’s not like a decision is made to not return (at least most times). The process looks fairly simple;

• put out first post,
• reply comments with excitement
• start thinking of next posts
• feel none of the posts are good enough
• discover it’s been 12 days since last post
• continue procrastinating or do something.

The last stage is the make or mar stage; the one where the fate of this baby steemian is usually sealed.

Under my watch, you’re not allowed to fade away! There’s no excuse that’s good enough, so quit with the excuses.

ACT NOW. Do Something.

Let me put down the phone. She’s on her way back! Sssssshhhhhh 😁
