As you say, there's no "magic" formula. Curate, curate, curate. Read, comment, upvote. This is seriously the simplest formula you could possibly want. Is it easy? It can be on some days and on others it's not so easy. This is why we need to define our "worst" day. Come up with a simple plan that you can accomplish no matter what. And do it every day. I've found that when I just make sure I do the bare minimum I usually end up doing a lot more. Just the simple act of reading a couple things and upvoting them gets the juices flowing to the point where I might as well comment on a couple things. I've already read them for crying out loud. And then I'll end up doing more. Which just gave me an idea for a post....see? It works. lol
