I think the trick to handling all this is time management, prioritizing what is most important first. This will help you get through what you need for the day. I have always treated steemit as an 'Extra' as I have seen many users quit their jobs and became homeless when things did not go well on steemit. I would suggest that you keep your job as it is a stable source of income. Steemit as many other cryptocurrencies are very volatile when it comes to the markets and exchanges.
