Do your passion projects man! If you feel like steemit has been floundering take a break - maybe come back when you got time. It is hard to schedule real life around steemit. Good posts take time and I can understand where you are coming from. If something is working out for you - pursue it. Steemit will probably still be around when you finish.
Cheers man! Best of luck in your new pursuits.

Fear not! I'm not going anywhere, just shifting focus a little. Hopefully I get a few friends to join us for the ride, like @bazbiscuit (who drew my caricature) has been threatening to start posting.
Thanks for the positive vibes.
