Plan B - plus some random Seascapes

OK, look... I can't be here like I was before, but it seems I can't really leave either. I need to reclaim some of my time, and find a way to be WAY more efficient.

(Random photos follow throughout this post - because that's what I do.)

Cannon Beach, Oregon

So what the heck am I going to do? I have a plan:

• I will be posting less in order to save time.
• Stopped my power down
• Revoted my witnesses pretty much as before

• More contest posts, fewer rants
• Shorter posts. Many of you post single images... why am I posting up to eight or ten???
• Fewer comments - they just take me too long
• Autovoting
• Delegating - for fun and profit. I do need to earn something here.

Now about the autovoting - first of all I can't vote at all for a couple of days. My vote is worth nothing anyway and now it will be reduced to 25% maximum. On the other hand, I will be voting for more people and lots of you guys I follow post multiple times per day. I will have to phase this in slowly and try to have my votes live within the 20% daily voting power allotment.

My delegation is going to go to the ocd-bot for white-listed Steemians. I need to earn something here, otherwise what's the point?

This is way more info than most anyone will care about, but my point is I don't do these things lightly. I have to work this out, and it's going to take a few days to set everything up.

I turned 64 years old today. It's time to figure things out and Steemit cannot be the center of my life. I figure I might want to go outside now and then, you know?

And yes... I'll still be doing #mountainmonday and #eaglefriday. Ok friends? I know some of you wanted me to stay. This is the best plan I've come up with.

Happy New Year, and all the best for 2019!
