As a Hive onboarder, I spend most of my activities on Hive bringing people to hive, explaining things about Hive, mentoring people about hive and even checking out on some Hivers here through the Newbies Initiative. All these activities combined together with my personal life activities sometimes gets me too tired and busy to think of contents to create.
I haven't created any content since the past two days, that's because I have been onboarding a lot of people to Hive; more of musicians and answering some questions on discord and WhatsApp most especially.
Today, I was so tired that I was on my bed for 11 hours and unable to stand up, or pick my phone to check out what was going on. Yeah it is because I had been sleeping for about 2 - 4 hours a day before today, so I think nature found its way on me.
I spent the remaining hours of the day after I had the strength to get up from bed to find songs to play for Hive Open Mic but I seriously didn't see a perfect one, while the remaining hours left, was spent on helping a friend of mine @chosenfingers shooting and editing his video for Hive Open Mic, another friend @oyeniran with his introductory post.
For me not to make today a waste without having any thought on what content to create, I decided to share my feelings and thoughts on the chain and how I have been doing and how things are for me. Truth is, most times, it gets frustrating and I get very worked up.
Talking about inspiration to create content, truth is I have many options but sometimes, I feel not motivated to. I know this is normal when stress is involved and I understand we are not so much in our high vibes always.
I feel like taking long breaks from hive without thinking of which content to make next but I haven't gotten to that stage on Hive yet maybe when I become a whale or a very strong orca, I would have the mind to do so but now, if I try do this, the SAPA (severe brokeness) comes knocking at my door; I live on Hive and moreover, I have a lot of responsibilities on the chain, I cannot just leave it down like that.
My first intentions in writing this post was talking about the people I had brought into Hive the last seven days but I kept typing and typing and drifting away from the topic, so I think I would save that topic for another day.
Right now, if you are a newbie and you feel as if you want to quit hive due to some challenges or struggles you may be facing, Feel free to drop those reasons why in my comments section below. Then I can see how I may be able to help you out on that.
You should know, content creation is not easy. It gets really stressful most times. As one of my old Hive tutor always says: Not everyone is a blogger but everyone has something to offer - A 1000 Hive Power delegation if you guess correctly who this person is. You need to have less than 3000 HP to be eligible.
Hint: She's a co-founder of an initiative that helps newbies as well.

Content creation is definitely tasking. It's even more tasking when you make deliberate efforts to make the quality better each time.
Welldone sir!
I think the tutor you're referring to is
@projectmamabg
I hope I'm correct!
Note even close
I no fit get this one oπ
!LUV
Nice try
@projectmamabg(1/10) gave you LUV.
H-E tools | connect | <><
Not close ?
Same happened to me being on steemit from day 1β¦.so many disappointments about the split up!
I wanted to continue on Hive in the same way but realized I couldnβt do it. I felt burnt out from they βpoliticsβ behind.
I try to get back since months but didnβt succeed yet writing myself but at least I make the effort to vote and curate interesting content to support!
Breaks from social media are much needed but donβt say that you ever Quit! No need to do so as you said!
You are much needed!!
You know how to work it here and your title shocks πππ€¦π»ββοΈπ»π€‘ Little mean π but you got me and now I finally follow as well
π·
Lol... Followed back, it's good that I got you πππ. I have been seeing your curation also on my posts before now. Thought it was a curation trail, now I am wondering how you find me articles.
I really appreciate this your lovely comment. Thank you very much πππ
Funny thing is I knew your title was a clickbait yet I just had to be sure so I clicked on it anyway. π
I was shocked at my first glance at the topic of this post. But the truth needs to be said hive takes lots of time in persons life and if one isn't careful enough and try a keep a balance it could greatly affect one health, professional career and other goals due to its high time demanding in other to be strong and earn more on the platform.
You have really made great impacts in lives by introducing them to hive, and also through your great support, motivation, and encouragement. Which I also happen to be a victim of. I'm highly grateful and deeply appreciate you.
Regarding the above is would suggest @aliento or @tripode. I hope I'm correct π.
Thanks so much for your words man. But your selection is neither of them π πππ
I knew it was a bait too, you did well showing us how titles can draw attention. But I hope we do use it well. Lol.
What you had was a burnout, or near to it. You could take a rest just shut everything, go out and refresh and when you regain fullness, come at it again. It happen to me often too. Well it has cost be some streaks but we keep going.
Your old hive tutor.. @josedicus comes to mind, but he is not old na.
He is still my guess tho.
Lol I said a she π π. So itβs not josedicuss.
Yeah I was stressed, just wanted nothing Hive related for a few while but na lie my life is hive already. Dem no born my papa well to commot.
Oh I missed that..
Well .. a she or a he.. I m not good at guesses.
I may have heard dreemsteem say that in a video..

Not herβ¦ didnβt get it from her. This was someone who I learnt a lot from Hive.
An Hint: I passed through their training section when I came to Hive.
@ijohnsen
Haha.. it has the be kittygirl... I m waiting for you to tell me I m right hehe..
The terminal..
She is in the terminal
Hmmmmmmmmmm
You're putting a lot of efforts coupled with the fact that sometimes in our efforts to remain creative, we totally lose out and go for days without creating anything. Take time, rest your brain and begin again.
Funny thing, I come drink two energy drink this night. Sleep no wan gree come π πππ
God!!!!πππ
I was scared and discouraged when I saw the topic. Thank God you ain't quitting!
You gotta rest man.
Pls restart!
I remembered I told you I was advised to sleep for at least 15hrs on a stretch.
That's because I've not been sleeping well because of hive!
Content creation is really not easy!
Lolβ¦i had you in mind when i decided to write this topic. I laughed hard π πππ
You shouldn't have gone this farπ€£π€£π€£
Wow.. bro.. this was happening to me too.
I was practically boiling over the idea of this how O can help many.
Until it started telling on me.
My training teaches me to sort myself first. And that's what I did.
I just calmed down, I even wrote a post about burn out then ...lol.
Omo.. burnout is real.
Burn outs sucks really.
You could have 50 hbd and later turn out to be left with 42 hbd!
Buy sincerely, we are not giving up!
Hivers are we, who shall defy us?
I don't get..
Your HBD reduced?.. how?
Lol.... only me can understand.
Stay good pal!
@dreemsteem ? π
Anyway, knew the heading was clickbait. The stress is expected but you find your ways around it!
Lol.. dreemsteem came online today π . But it was brief. It wasnβt her
I know I know this person π
Lol tell me π
Click bait π
Nice. You are really trying man. It's not easy. I myself do feel less motivated to post on here after having a very busy day so I just take the day as off day. I cannot coman die
Lol.. I always keep pushing man. Thatβs what I do, push
the moment I saw this I knew it had to be clickbait π @starstrings01
Also, about the mentor, it might have been brittandjosie or justclickindiva
Select one person..
Brittandjosie is my final answer π
Too late, given out the delegation ππ€£
π it's alright.
@estherscott was fast enough to say her answer before you.
Okay then.
@khaleesii yes thatβs my line π thanks for remembering
Truly a powerful line.
I thought you were quitting but I am glad it wasn't like that. I think the onboarding process is quite tough when it comes to blogging. It's much easier to sell them on things like the HBD savings or games.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, in terms of blogging it is not easy. You have to explain communities, markdowns, tags, wallet and games. And for newbies, is always too much info to process at once.
Lolππ it's the SAPA for meπ
@starstrings01 you clearly know hundreds of people here draws inspiration and the will to keep pushing here on hive from you so you cannot quit. In short, we die here together.
Thanks for always man. Much loveπ
Smiles, so as I draw inspiration from others too. We help each other to grow. We canβt progress without each other.
Wise words man.
Taking a break to come back stronger is not at all a bad idea. Thatβs also what I told you! The fact itβs always LIFE first instead of HIVE is the lesson you need to put into practice.
Step away and take care of the body that is blogging here on the blockchain
And yes I know her very well, she is been around 4,3 years
The moment I saw this I had this feeling it can't be true it but then another one was telling me could be true.
Damn I fell for it..ππ
Anyways I pick @dreemsteem for the guess
Sorry not her. Truth is when I thought about you, something said you would not fall for it. But you fell πππ
ππ though I have this solid believe that you've come too far to quilt.
Then what went wrong why did I trip off and took the bait.
πππ
I'm so guessing again projectmama
No man!
Damn!!!!!
Really?
ππ
Who could this be?
Way long before you ever dreamt of joining Hive π π
I'm so interested in this.
@starstrings01 haba gimme more hints..πΆ
Imagine even before I joined hive
I think I know whoπ₯°π₯°
@brittandjosie
I have delegated 1000 HP to you.
Whatttππ...OMG this is a dream
Thanks so much @starstrings01
Thank God πππ
Esther yesssssss its me π
I actually did my researchππ... Glad it wasn't in vain and I was rightπ
I seriously thought you were quitting really, but as I read further I got relieved.
The lost content issue, I have same problem ,I always have a topic but whenever I start writing it just doesn't seem right.
First of all, I will say listen to your body. A lot of us ignore our bodies and have had consequences. Content creation is not an easy task. The brainstorming process itself is tasking.
yeah exactly, it is not easy to brain storm.. it takes a lot of energy...
Yea. That's very correct.
It is very tasking to create contents, the concept of thinking and bringing the idea to fruition is long..The stress of typing and ensuring your work is beautiful too takes time...but all these stress no longer matter when people enjoy reading your works...
The stress of the Newbies Initiative is understandable, I had thought about it too, probably you need a little break but you would be missed
Yeah true, the thought about the after effect of taking a little break from hives keeps me away from doing it. not only would I be affected by also would it be onto for others as well.
Thanks for this wonderful comments.
Honestly the title of this content drew my attention and I said I must read to the end with curiosity oo to find out how the Almighty @starstrings01 that inspires me daily wants to quit Hivingππ
That's a good tactics in creating content I think. You have touched many lives here and I wish you more grace to keep pushing πͺ
And for your old hive tutor, could it be @projectmamabg
Lol funny how you all think I was tutored by @projectmamabg when it's the other way round πππ€£
Exactly.. projectmama was part of the first set of newbie initiative right..at least I know that one..
Not the first set though but a previous set... @tripode, @jizzyjoe and some others were part of the first set of newbies.
Omo.. you don old for this place ooh.. see big names oo.
Wow. Shifu grato..
Or whatever they say..lol
Lol, you think say u Sabi whine. If I start my own, you go beg me π
But you know se I know whine na.. I dey marvel ni mehn.
You were the first Inspiration I caught on Hive Chief. I practical read almost all your posts I could I must tell you the truth. I learnt a lot from you, even before the Newbie initiative. I no fit whine you πππ..
I think that I was part of the second set of newbies in May 2021
!LUV
@projectmamabg(3/10) gave you LUV.

Lol, I think that I am popular now :D hahah no no, @starstrings01 is my man. He has taught me so many things and he was the first who gave me a hand when I was struggling on the platform.
I see., Good to know ma
You are now very popular ooππ, no doubt. You see this beautiful badge you did for we new-bies, it's enough to make you popular ma
Weldone Boss!! ππ What your did in this post title is what we call an Headline Hook in the marketing world. And you apply some psychological tactics to do this. Otherwise no one will click on your post talk less of reading it. It is the reason why I also branched to know watsup about such a topic. Kudos.. ππ as i see this has nothing to do about depression and more to do about having the desire, zeal, and passion to always put in more efforts.
On the other end, I have no idea of who that person is. But there is no harm in trying. So the person is @thekittygirl
The person has been mentioned already and the delegation has been given.
Thank you very much for your nice words
Wow! So I got it right sha π€π€
Why didn't I see the post earlier than this. π€¦π€¦
And like you, I sometimes feel the pressure of being active. Especially now that I'm working full time with a toddler at home because he doesn't go to daycare or preschool. I don't always find the motivation to sit down at the computer and write something, or when I do my head ends up empty.
And like you I collect articles as drafts, I probably have over 30 waiting for their turn to be written or formatted or just have images put on them...
I want to make my suggestion to join the "game" I guess tripode was your tutor
lol @tripode was never my tutor, but was a newbie too under the initiative.. we became close and became partners. but truth is I got to really like her but she is no longer active. I hope she comes back when she is done.
How is your baby doing? I know how difficult it is being a mother. I think you should be more active in the Mothers community and ladies of Hive community so that your daily experience with your child can be used as a source of content.
Yeah, I try to make such content about the mom's life or baby's life when I have time... I have so many articles done till the middle and I try to finish them... It is hard to make something new because when I stay like 15 mins on the computer he comes and pulls me into the other room where are all the toys ..
Mehn, being a mother is hard!!!
I was shocked at your title, but I knew it was just a hook line. Newbies like us need you right now.
Let me take a guess, I guess it's @victoriabsb
wow excellent. I've been on Hive for 8 months now and have tried to leave several times. I get very discouraged because I can't advance properly, especially seeing new people who advance fast. I make a world of effort and I try not to look to the sides so that this does not disappoint me, but sometimes it happens to me because of my own progress. Today something terrible happened to me, maybe because I was in a hurry I published the same post 3 times and there is no way to delete it. I don't know if that will impose some kind of punishment on me, I don't know. But I'm taking a deep breath so I don't give up. People like you encourage us. Oh and @brittanjosie they are amazing people πΈ.
Lol... This is really crazy, when I saw this on WhatsApp, I didn't want to believe it, I was like , how will someone that tutor me quit, your did he na want me to survive? I was quite confused but never took it to a conclusion until I see the reason, maybe I'll leave too... Lol..
I was really scared to see the headline, so I quickly entered the post. However, after reading the post, I realized that it is not true. Let's be happy.
Honestly, the Hive world needs good people like you who really want to help people. Honestly, you are in our hearts so please don't think of leaving us. We really love you Professor.
Awesome attention capturing title. Thanks for all you're doing on hive to help newbies.
