I achieved my goal

February 13, 2022. No. 184

It has been more than 34 hours since I last entered read.cash. I haven't even responded to the comments on the last article yet. I needed a big break. It has been more than 5 months full-time. Moments of being connected the whole day, thinking about what to write. Also, reading the articles of other users, even more than 50 articles, in the beginning, is something that is simply unsustainable. Then I lowered the intensity a bit, but it was still at a very high pace.

Those energies and euphoria at the beginning are understandable. The desire to "succeed" on the platform makes you make the most of it. Whatever the outcome afterward, it goes without saying that this frenetic pace has to stop, or it will eventually affect your health. It is the time consumed, those hours connected, aware of everything and straining my eyes to an extraordinary level. Even my hands suffer, due to the constant manipulation of the mobile phone, and my tendon in the left arm was even affected for a few days, with very strong pain.

Then Pegaxy arrives and everything becomes even harder. What was a game that didn't consume any time turned into a game that consumed an enormous amount of time. Going to bed at almost midnight and getting up at 5 am to continue running my Pegaxys has become a routine in these last two months. This led to fewer hours of sleep and more tiredness in general. But there was no other. This effort was needed and I am not complaining, it is just a fact that it is present.

To all this, you add my real life outside the internet and it is quite complex and complicated. Lots of things to attend to with my family, aside from my actual job. Then you will understand that my absence and lowering the intensity is more than understandable.

I miss the days when I would research a specific topic and write an article that was worth reading. Maybe when I see a contest I can do it again, but for now, there is no active one. Maybe one day when I have a little more free I will do it. Investigating inevitably takes extra time, and it is something that, as you will understand, I am not having.

This break of 34 hours without opening the platform, allowed me to clear a bit and rest. Curiously, without hardly responding to the comments on my last article, Rusty visited it a lot in these hours, an article of 2 minutes of reading. Life is like that, it smiles at you in unexpected ways.

See you in a while.
