Taking One Step At A Time (How Do I Manage My Plate)

September 2, 2022

I swore to myself that from this month onwards, I'll stay positive and try to scrape off any negative from my mind and even in the real world. They are unavoidable of course, but with self-discipline, everything can be executed well and life will run smoothly. I don't want to be so harsh on myself anymore and I would give it a break if necessary. Because among all the assets we have, it's our body the most vital one. And once it deteriorates and fails to function, all goals will go wasted and unattainable.

As a full-time worker abroad, it's truly tough for me to handle everything at hand while grinding online. Oftentimes, online side hustles consume a lot of my spare, leaving nothing for a breather. I want to change my routine for good, I want to make things better because I felt like all my actions, decisions, and plans these past months and years were not effective. I always end up not attaining what I truly wanted and always compromise a vital aspect.

So this time, I'll take one step at a time in managing all the stuff on my plate.

How do I manage my plate?

Given that I have full-time work in the real world, that's my top priority. After doing my morning routine, taking breakfast and whatsoever, I would start working until my break time. Once break time comes, that's only the time that I could commit myself online and manage my side hustles.

Checking the crypto market will be in the first place as I don't want to be left behind again. Bull comes all of a sudden and exits without notice. I don't like to end up chasing bears, so checking the market first thing in the morning and each time I go online is a good way that I know when to dive into trading. It starts on Binance then followed by SmartBCH. I lessened my crypto assets and scrapped off the losers so that I could easily monitor them all. Those that were retained include, BCH, ETH, BNB, BTC, XRP, HIVE, ADA, and on the SmartBCH are CATS, LAW, JOY, and EBEN. Meanwhile, on BSC DeFi are CAKE and CUB.

After checking the crypto market, I'll go to noise.cash to drop my morning post then visit a few users to upvote. I don't usually stay longer on noise.cash as I only consider it as my social media account for updating my daily life activities. Oftentimes, when I have a lot on my plate, I would put it aside and handle other more important platforms.

The next is checking my latest read.cash post and reply to the comments. After that will be visiting other users' posts. My time is limited so I often set a certain time to visit a certain platform so I could visit them all during my free time.

Ever since I became a guest curator on another platform, that has been added to my plate. If I still have remaining free time, I would visit the discord channel and start curating posts that aren't curated yet. That includes time in running those posts into the plagia checker, so while waiting for results, I would take the chance to read articles on Hive and give comments. Sometimes I would check different discord channels to see important announcements or the latest posts. I don't usually interact with the people there, I just silently read important posts. But if I have more time, I would use it in interacting with people on a few servers of my choice.

At night before hitting the sack, I would finish a drafted article, at least one, so that I have something to post the next day. Then the remaining time will be spent interacting and curating. This will end soon, thus, I could eliminate it from my plate and I'll have more time for drafting articles for both platforms, and read.cash and Hive.

And of course, Sunday is my only day for relaxation. This time, I want to visit two to three beautiful places every month. I have a lot on my bucket list, and I hope I could visit them all this year.

So that's how I usually manage my plate and take one stuff at a time. I can manage them all at the same if I want to, but it usually exhausts me. In between those platforms are breaks from using the phone as I also need to rest my eyes and arms. I did compromise them and I'm still suffering the consequences oftentimes. And that's a bad habit of mine that I want to change.

I know it's easier said than done. But I want to achieve an organized and healthy work routine, both offline and online.
