No More Social Media Guilt !

So, After using Steemit, I no longer feel guilty using Social Media. Even not with the Overuse of it.

If you are a Social Media Power User Like me, who is addicted to Social Media and have Various Social Media accounts Across Platforms with a lot of followers, At some point you must have Felt Guilty, realizing that most of Social Media is a waste of time.

I used to feel so, before joining Steemit.

Like for example, my habit is to check my Facebook and Instagram during Office hours and a good couple of hours right before sleep.

So many times I used to open Facebook or Instagram for 5 minutes, just to reply to some alerts and I used to end up spending an hour or maybe two on the platforms, only to feel guilty later.

These days I have reduced the time spent on Facebook and Instagram drastically and I spend a lot of time on Steemit instead.

• So what has changed Now?

Basically not much, as I still spend the same amount of time on Social Media as I used to earlier. But the Platform has changed to Steemit.

Also the Feeling has changed from "Feeling Guilty and Unproductive" to "I am Utilizing my Free Time in a Positive way, in-fact I am Monetizing it".

To Top it, The Guilt has completely vanished.

• Lets take the case of Overuse of Steemit Vs Instagram taking my personal example.

Suppose I use Instagram from 10 pm in the night to 12 pm at a stretch.

What happens on Instagram is that, I just gain a few Followers and Likes and get some Entertainment, but Most of my Time is Wasted.

Its an Unproductive Act.

Now, If I spend the same 2 hours on Steemit from 10 pm to 12 pm, what happens?

Well,

a) I Upvote a few Posts
b) Make a Few Comments
c) Send Replies
d) Make a New Post
e) and Get a few Followers.

• All of the Above Actions = Money on Steemit

• and Boom = Suddenly everything is Productive

• and THE GUILT IS GONE

The thought of making this post crossed my mind today because for the whole of Last Month I have been using Steemit Late at Night for hours at a Stretch and Waking up the next morening "Not Feeling Guilty".

• This is the Single most Powerful Reason I prefer Steemit over any other Social Media Platform, as on Date.

Do share in the Comments if you can Identify with this Feeling or any other Input that you have.

Have a Good Day
