Screen time break - sharpen the machete

in #hive-18639219 hours ago

Hey everyone, I took some mental health days, after riding hard screen time recently, some 14 and 16 hour days sprinkled in there. Luckily I keep my therapy sharp and there is a lot to prune.

My best life, the one I am living, is a perfect balance between Permaculture Farming and Open Source Development. Which I actually view as "the same thing" if we abstract one level higher - this is the subject of my unpublished and unspoken conference speech in Caracas, but that is a post for another day.

Seemingly every goal I set for 2025 is rolling forward, and its important to stop and smell the flowers, and prune the bushes back to make sure everyone is getting sunlight. We have yuca, papa, pineapple, plantain and pole beans growing right now, and we continue to expand our round wood cultivation schemes and our on-contour lot mapping for the property.

Oh, and despite a major electrical problem on the farm currently, with the help of @hivetrending, @buttcoins, @alohaed, @dlmmqb, @thehive, @edicted and others, we have managed to relaunch Deep Web3 Podcast, a podcast that is not about HIVE but may happen to mention it quite a bit in certain episodes.

One thing I am very pround of in all that we are doing, is that all around HIVE people are activating, and working together in synergy - thanks to @bil.prag for this clip and give him some love on 3speak.

You can also check out our interview with @vaultec published on @hivetoday:

Of course even during the "break" for farming, I continue to jam discord with chats, reach out to everyone, build synergy and continue to try to use our @mithrildestiny pipeline to make friends and fill holes/gaps around our community.

It has been a really fun 2025 so far, and if I haven't reached out to you yet about your project, your goals, or about being on my podcast - do yourself a favor and reach out to me!

I am doing the best I can but chatting with 100s of people individually is a challenge, and often I think I have reached out to someone only to find that we aren't even friends on discord. So be my friend, if you like.

And to those people who don't want to be my friend, its okay. You can ignore me or even send me your dusty wallet anytime, and I may even find some gems among them; thanks to opidia for the most valuable donation we have received in 2025 so far:

For those who don't know, Neoxian's Gold is a rare and valuable token, I think I might will save one forever.

There is tons of stuff in the pipe from me, stay alert and stay tuned, but I need to harvest and plant some bananas in the meantime and give my eyes a rest and recovery. See you all soon, around the chain.

Freedom and Friendship

"... but I need to harvest and plant some bananas in the meantime and give my eyes a rest and recovery."

There is a lot written and spoken these days about "mental health." Keeping it simple and getting outside in the sunlight and putting in some serious physical activity can only be viewed positively, in response.

At least ... For anyone who has any sense and is honest enough to "keep it real!"

👍🫡👋

Taking care of Mental health is very important, pruning the bushes in this case allows the sunlight and a breath of fresh air into the mind.
Keep up the good work.

That is one of the advantages of getting a bunch of thoughtful Hive folks together in the discord at the same time, there is an acceleration of discussion.

We are getting some nice weather here next week and I'll be outside myself doing some chopping and preparation for spring.

That sounds like a really healthy approach.
Taking time to recharge and reflect is so important, especially with such intense screen time.
Love how you're balancing two passions that complement each other so well, sounds like a truly fulfilling life.
Keep at it.
