"I'll take a day off... No, let's make it two. No, I can take a week off, I need to focus on other things."
And that was how I stayed away from give for close to two months. I kept procrastinating my coming back; the initial plan was to stay away for a day as I wanted to complete a project.
Now, I feel like a newcomer; I have missed a lot here. How's it going, friends?
For a long time, procrastination is one thing I've had to deal with. I mean, there's a whole lot it has taken from me - like they say, it's a thief of time and I believe I have allowed it steal my time. This wasn't my initial plan. I initially wanted to build my presence here and grow gradually.
But then, I don't want to bite myself. I've had a whole lot of tasks outside hive that needed my attention. For instance, I completed my two books, and I'm currently working on another project outside hive.
I thought I could manage everything together but it was beginning to overwhelm me. Perhaps, if I had a daily calendar, I would have been able to find ways to balance both other projects with hive, too. That's where I didn't get it right.
I can't say I'm officially back, though I really want to be here actively. I have missed reading from my favourite writers, I have missed a whole lot!
So, I'm thinking of creating a calendar for myself so I can be able to balance things - to write and share my stories on hive, and also to complete my other projects.
I want you reading this to hold me accountable. I really do not want to absent here again.
So, while on my project, I'll make sure I write and post at least, 5 times a week.
Here's just me explaining my reasons for being inactive here. Thank you for reading through.
