The beginning of these posts was my My Life Just Hit a Brick Wall at High Velocity, on the Cusp of My 50th Birthday: Mid Life Crisis 101 post. I link that post because I want to give my readers some useful context for what I write in these posts.

Warm greetings all! 🙏 💚

I've mentioned here before that Hive is like a more-than-full-time job, or a way if life. All I know is that I love it and that it takes a lot of time. I haven't even begun to estimate how many hours per day that I spend doing my various Hive tasks. It's a lot! I set daily Hive goals for myself, and it helps immensely in getting all my assorted tasks done each day. It helps keep me focused. And with focus, I can accomplish much!

I led Ester in her last integral/yogic practice today before she left in the late morning. The Immersion ended last week, and with it there is another outflow of people. Fiona, Hannah, and Michael already left, Ester left today, and Jens is leaving tomorrow. I've experienced so many waves of people coming and going. So many. I know there is one new woman arriving on Christmas Eve.

I was intensely focused on doing Hive from about 5AM clear through to just about 2PM, aside from the time I took to make my superfood fire coffee and to lead Ester in our morning practice. Yeah, I have a lot of daily goals and tasks! The intense focus is paying off, however!

One of my multiple Hive tasks this morning was to write and publish my Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation: Our Burning, Focused Desire Can Achieve Anything! post. I've gotten a lot more efficient and quicker creating those posts, which allows me to get more of my daily tasks and goals done.

I finished (for a short time at least) all of my Hive tasks by about 2PM ('finished' is a a very relative term), and devoted myself to working with Ano on the land the rest of the day. Although there were all sorts of smaller or or shorter tasks that we did, the majority of the time was spent on taking wheelbarrows of cinders from Ano's truck, down a trail, and then brining then to El Cóndor, to dump and spread out the cinders under what will be the new floor. El Cóndor is one of the older buildings, and was in desperate need of repair and and care. A lava-rock wall is built to hold in the cinder, and then wooden pallets go on top of that, and then the actual floor, which will be reclaimed pallet wood. We got a lot done and I got some great exercise too!

Polish_20220714_121754649.jpg

Once I was done working with Ano, I took a shower and made myself some food in the Landing, then headed back to the Flow House to dive back into my assorted Hive tasks, one of which was to write and publish this post.

OK dear friends, I must take my leave now, as I'm very sleepy, and I really want to sleep well tonight. I wish you all a glorious rest of your week!

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚

Hive is like a more-than-full-time job

Indeed! I went to bed this morning feeling accomplished because I had zero notifications left, and I had managed to do the daily Heartbeat We Are Alive thingy, with commenting on all the Listnerd and RisingStar posts (which alone took me an hour - I need to get faster at that, and also learn some efficient way to see only the notices I want to see, so I can concentrate on those instead of spending time on clicking things away!) But when I woke up there was the stressful infinity sign again 😹 I'm using ecency, maybe other sites list the number of notifications even if they are above 100?

Holy moly do I understand! My experience is similar! I've been working to become faster and more efficient with everything I do on Hive. Getting through all my daily Hive tasks and goals though still takes a lot of time, and some days that is taken to a whole new level, when I have many things to do. I do comment moderation for @aliveandthriving using the Engage dapp, which shows all comments and mentions, and also has a lot of flexibility in how the data is returned. I think that would perhaps help a lot. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I sometimes feel "worried" (which I should not) whenever #HiveEngage is down (such as right now), such that I would miss replying to comments that are close to getting past the payout time (7 days after such comments from other people on Hive got published) !INDEED. 🤔🤯🤯😅

Yep, don't worry about what you can't control. You do what you can with what's available. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

@savvytester's "worry" about #HiveEngage being down and not being able to reply to comments close to 7 days old has quotation marks around the word, because that "worry" lasts for only a few seconds at a time whenever they first realize that #HiveEngage is down during any of their commenting sessions. 🤓 The same goes with me too. 🤯😅

!BEER

OK, so noted, and thanks for the clarification. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

!BEER

I wonder how often you use the "Bookmark" feature on #HiveEngage so that you can still see (and reply) to (good) comments even if they go past 7 days without you not being to reply to (or at least curate) them. 🤓

Anyway, this is my last reply for you for today (UTC), as I have already used up all my token tipping allocation for you. 😅

!BEER

I still don't use it because I never let my notifications fall that far behind. so it's unnecessary.

OK, sounds good. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It's !WEIRD though that about 1.5 days ago, #HiveEngage wasn't working so I simply tried to reply to comment notifications on #Ecency, such that half a day ago, I used #HiveEngage to reply to comments while #Ecency has having technical issues. 🤔🤯😆😅

!LOLZ

That's the beauty of backups and redundancy. I used both as I usually do. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

!LOLZ
!WEIRD

There's no way to see posts and comments past payout time on #HiveEngage, unless they are bookmarked as they showed up on any feed on Hive Engage !INDEED. 🤔🤯🤓

!WEIRD

Correct, and I don't nave that issue. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

If (just if) #HiveEngage is already FOSS and I already have my own instance of it, then such instance going down is something that I might be worried about! 🤯😆

!WEIRD
!LOLZ

That's a lot of potentiality about which to be worried. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

That's why it's best to host a (24/7) node only when there is ample time to monitor it (and fix it when a problem arises). 🧘‍♂️
