RE: I Have Been Slacking

in #steemit6 years ago

I've just been upvoting you less lately as other content has been grabbing a larger share of my attention. If you want to rekindle your passion for photography, I suggest you read a book about it to get new ideas and perspectives and new knowledge on the technical side of things.

It's not the passion I have lost, it's just pure laziness for actually doing it. I have seen nice light and thought of photography, but instead continued sleeping and all around laziness.

Maybe you're just tired. Then rest may help. By the way, I recommend that you sign up to Presearch. It's a blockchain-based decentralized search engine. At this stage, it pays for its users PRE tokens to do searches for its machine learning algorithm to get data. You can earn about €0.05 per search. If you do something like 40 searches a day, that translates into €2 per day at current exchange rates of PRE. Once you have signed up, you can install a Chrome extension to automate routing your searches from the web page to Google or whatever search engine you prefer to use.

Maybe it will help you fund a well-deserved vacation. :-D

Fitness is important to keep the brain functioning optimally. As Steem users we have an opportunity to use Actifit. It's a smartphone app that counts your steps during the day. If you give the app your private posting key, it will make a post reporting the number of your daily steps on Steem at the click of a button. The @actifit account will upvote that post (two posts per day at most) if the number of steps exceeds certain limits. Anyone can upvote, of course. If you don't want to pollute your blogroll with those posts, you can easily set up an alt for that purpose.

Welcome to tokenized living where you can earn tokens by going about your day as usual. Until now, corporations like Facebook or Google have reaped all the monetary benefits.

I have a post draft titled: "You don't get a medal for adulting", but as we live in an era of participation awards, we have the opportunity to get awarder for jack shit. Now I have more material for my post, thanks!

I don't think rewarding people for positive behaviors with the help of a blockchain is rewarding them for nothing. In my opinion, it is vastly better that the users of a social media get rewarded directly for their attention than some huge corporate middleman such as Facebook. Similarly, rewarding search engine users for providing machine learning algorithms with data is a fine thing.

Thank you for the hint, I'll definitely check up on that. My brain is a little slow and broken at times and I have to keep searching for words all the time.
