Working through a burn-out

I've never been the best at being consistent. I think I only became consistent with my activities here when I began to pay attention to the rewards I receive and realize I could utilize my earnings here as a means of employment, rather than worry so much for a job.

This means I decided to take Hive as my job. At first, I would spend at least 5 hours posting and engaging every day. Some days I would spend fewer hours and other days I'd post 3 articles a day, increasing my hours here.

When I began my French classes 3 months ago, I slowed down with my activities here. At first, I thought I would be able to still work for 5 hours daily but I decided to be true to myself. I found it difficult spending even 3 hours here without thinking about the amount of homework I have undone. Then, I reduced my time here to just get at least one activity done and move on.

I think in the last 5 months, I've missed only 2 days of posting. The first day was when I came home quite tipsy from a wedding after-party and the second day was a few days ago when I got knocked out by some medication I was on.

Getting topics daily

I've been asked often how I get topics to write about every day and really I don't know. Some days they come as a random thought, other days (like today) they come based on conversations I've had and other days still they are based on information I pick up through engagement or research for my freelance gigs.

Some days, I get so inspired that I think of up to 5 topics to write about. I save them in my notes and know that I have topics to take care of for 5 days. I haven't had one of those days in a very long while.

Getting Uninspired but still working

I've been lacking in a lot of areas. I've slowed down with a lot of activities that gave me energy and something awesome to look forward to.

I can't say I lack inspiration entirely because once I have a topic in my head, I'm always able to create the words to make it a good, average or great post. However, I get extremely lazy these days, lazier than normal.

Regardless of the state of my mind, I've still found my ability to write something every day.

Taking a break is expensive

I spoke to @bhoa yesterday and he had this idea about taking a break for a day or even a week to regain inspiration. I thought his idea was amazing. It's actually something I had considered for a while. However, I don't think taking a break after just 5 months of consistency is a great idea.

Regardless of the bragging right I have that I earn in my sleep, I still require the extra earning I get through work. I currently earn an average of $30 every week. This is only calculating my earning from Leofinance. Imagine the loss if I take into account my earnings in HBD, Hive, POB and other tokens I receive every day.

Although a break sounds awesome, I don't think I'm ready for it financially. For this reason, I'll be working through a burn-out hoping to get my head back on track along the way.

I don't exactly know how I'll be able to get my head in place, however, I'm believing that at the end of my French program in December, I'll have enough time to myself to fix my current problem.

Normally, I'd say take a break, but as you already said, you can't afford to

So instead, I wish you the best. I hope you get back in full swing soon.
