I have been starting to feel a bit of burnout, things go in cycles and I am no stranger to it. I have been full blast since January, and I recently took an amazing trip with high energy, I got back home and prepared for an amazing visit of 17 student entomologos; we have been blasting out free and premium tools for months, back-end software for a whole bunch of different things - connecting and working with leaders, doing 3 podcasts per week....
I need a bit of a break.
Plus summer "is coming", and I want to prune up my agroforestry system. In fact I have already started, I want to make a few videos for my "other" youtube channel, the one that is not "about HIVE".
And now KE ratio has come to @peakd, so I get to have fun watching my number go to infinity as I full power down and continue to build stuff on HIVE, openly and for everyone, as I have done for many years - perhaps without making quite as much noise.
But the noise is tiresome, I need a little break. I need to harvest some firewood and talk to my trees a bit.
Now don't get me wrong, me and @thecrazygm are going to keep working - it's what we do. We have recently bitten off a big job for a paying client, and that is going along well and we are happy for that. And we are still releasing libraries and updating our tools for everyone. We love this stuff!
But I don't think I am going to post about it as much. I am going to post about games, fun, contests and my garden. I am going to shitpost about whatever I feel like. I deserve that, for a bit at least, if I do say so myself.
Of course, Deep Web3 Secrets continues! I have two interviews booked this week and two next week - and I have multiple episodes unpublished at the time of writing. This is the most promising "channel" I have ever worked on, and I love doing it. I will continue to do it whenever I feel like, with whoever I feel like. I am having fun with it!
I will continue doing many things - working with many leaders. We have made so many friends over the last months, great people I have found, and I do my best to reblog and support them the best I can. There are wonderful things going on all around HIVE, not just the stuff we are doing - oh no, not even close.
But I cannot be all things for all people. I was already wary of free work, but I am even more wary now. I always do what I can, when I can - especially when things are easy. I still "know" that many people can't tell the difference between easy and hard things, but it doesn't really matter what people "know". I just need some days to make sure I'm in charge of what I work on; I am only working on what I want.
Time is the most valuable resource (not even tokens!) I am in charge of what I spend my time on (as you should be with your time as well!).
Expect from me over the next week or two:
More fun
More games
More agroforestry and permaculture
Less dms
I will be "back", I always am - with more energy than ever! But I also want to state, I have never left. And I never will. You can't get rid of me, that I promise you :)
