Getting Scheduled

Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to appreciate being able to get more posts scheduled again!

With my recent hiatus from playing Splinterlands, that gives me a lot more opportunity to get back to what I find entertaining: writing posts!

I was going through a rut for a while, too long I think, where I was spending far more time on Splinterlands than I should be. This produced some negative results for me in a few areas and one of the main areas that this reduced for me was getting posts written and scheduled. I was doing great at one point where I hit the maximum amount of posts scheduled, one full month into the future lol. This was a highlight for me! I then got into a rut where I wasn't writing as many posts and I fell down to not having any posts scheduled into the future sadly! I was able to keep my posting streak and with other reasons, figure out that it was Splinterlands that was occupying too much of my time.

I switched up my Splinterlands style and opted for passive use of it via renting out all my cards and this has given me a lot of benefits for various things, and one of the ones that it's been most apparent for me is that I've gotten back into writing! It hasn't left me but I've put it on the back shelf since I was getting pretty annoyed playing Splinterlands and I don't write very well when I'm not in a good mood lol. I know some people write their best when they are in a bad mood but that's not me! I love to write when I'm in a normal or good mood that's for sure.

I think this change has benefitted me the most in that realm because I feel less stressed out when I'm not slacking on my writing activities lol I think the catharsis that writing at least a post a night gives me is something that I've needed for a while but didn't really get until the past 2 years. Now it's a bit of a habit, albeit a good one at least, so when things mess up that habit, you tend to not be in a good mood!

I am actually able to also finally get to a bunch of the draft posts that are sitting in my drafts folder in PeakD which is good because I hate when I have a good idea but don't feel like fleshing it out in a post because I'm feeling a little lazy or unmotivated lol. I was able to clear up a few drafts that have been sitting there for a few weeks which was great. Now to start clearing up the photos on my computer and get all of the good ones posted onto the blockchain here!

Let's see how long I can keep this scheduled post streak up! I'm at a week right now and hoping I can increase that to 2 weeks or so over the coming few days, so that I can feel better about maybe going to bed early one night here and there lol.

Now let's hope that Leo Threads doesn't mess up my posting LOL :D I've been spending way more time on #threads than I thought I would but for now, that's a pretty good thing! It boosts engagement and transactions on the chain which will be a net positive for us in the long run.

I rarely schedule a post preferring to write and post at the time, or writing them and holding them as drafts although the only I hold in drafts like that are the #weekend-engagement topic posts. It feels less contrived to write and post at the time and I'm able to write about what I'm thinking or feeling at the time.

How are you going removing me as an admin in this community?

I'll look for the drive today, the little man caught a cold and was being more needy than normal for a few days. He’s thankfully over the hump now so I should have a bit of time to find it.

Ya I can't write posts and publish them the same day like that because I go through bits like last night where I'm more tired than I have been and just drop a few comments and go to bed instead of writing. If I published only same day content my streak would have been lost a while ago lol

Well I have the USB drive and the password isn't on it lol. I'm going to try and recover the account and see how it goes!

Oh no, that's not a good situation. Good luck with the recovery.

It's tricky but I'm going through it. I'm hoping to spur some action to make these websites a little bit easier to navigate. I've been to 3 different places and if I wasn't so aware of the various front ends and capabilities for Hive, I'd be shit out of luck lmao. Not sure how a new user is supposed to figure this out :D. Haven't fully finished it yet but I think I'm on the right track..

I only use Peakd, can't be bothered with the rest.

Well tough part is PeakD is no use to me in this scenario. I don’t have any of the keys to log in for me to start the account recovery process so I have to use hive tasks. I tried the hive account recovery service which is entirely separate except they won’t let you do it if you don’t have them set as the recovery account lol.

Going to get up in a little bit and see if I can finish it.

It's like you're speaking another language. I'm not very smart, so don't know about all this stuff. 😋

Got to a certain point and now I need to wait until the morning at this point for me, in 1 hour I will be fast asleep. Not sure if I've done it right though lmao

and I don't write very well when I'm not in a good mood lol.

I know exactly what you mean. There are two times when I won't let myself write:

When I'm too busy or rushed
When I'm angry or depressed

I hope you can get back into scheduling, it's the most awesome feeling when you can line up posts a few days in a row and then have an evening off :)

Yeah it is a great feeling! I took last night off as a matter of fact lol. Felt good to get to sleep at 930 instead of 11 like I normally have been.

I was definitely writing a little too often as I was feeling angry and it wasn’t good, last fall was the worst and looking back at some of the posts I am a little annoyed reading some of them lol but oh well water under the bridge!

I'm certainly a better mood writer or what it is called too lol. It's when my thoughts are more in order than at those other days.

It is good to take some stress out of this online thing a bit when you realize it is leading to lacks in other areas of life.

You have found your ways in scheduling posts. I tried it but didn't feel it. I need too much offline time, so if I would schedule and couldn't reply or stuff it would be even worse for me. I rather post with my flow 😄.

Ya everyone’s a little different! Last night for example I didn’t write shit sadly because I was trying to recover an account and figure out what the hell I needed to do in order to achieve that lol. Still not done but getting there. Makes me feel better knowing that I have a few days of posts out there in the wings so that I can figure it out and also sleep if I need to, without losing a day of posting in my streak lol.

As it also implies I don’t get to comments right away hahaha sorry! :D

what is LeoThreads?

and yeah, when I am in a bad mood, I write so deep and sometimes negative posts that I don't think people like when I have a bad mood;))) let's keep a good one and keep positive posting with good photos - so cool shots!😍

Threads is a micro blogging feature on leofinance the finance focused section of hive. It’s a lot of fun and threads is not at all focused on finance stuff there’s all kinds of others on there! You should give it a whirl sometime!

I’m definitely a better writer when I’m in a good mood lol

Splinterlands - what a rabbit hole... I fell in head first in 2021 during the last days of Untamed. I like playing the game a lot until maybe fall last year. Since then it feels more like a chore, I'm in a guild that I like. I have rented out some of my cards, doubles, and am currently using a bot. Not ideal, I don't like the idea of bots playing a game but - short of selling everything it's what I am doing right now.

The time that I gained by doing this I am spending painting and such. And finally, I am now also getting back to my blog. Work got in the way and also all this AI shit. It got to my mood - thus making me a 'good mood writer' - LOL
