I'm being lazy today, on my laptop in bed. I have some data from earlier this year on my main computer. It shouldn't be too difficult to do a quick analysis.
I will do it at some point today and then publish it in a few days. I have a queue of posts already waiting to go, I always have too much to say :D !
Haha, sounds like a productive kind of lazy to me! 😄 No rush at all, I am looking forward to seeing the analysis whenever it’s ready. It’s impressive that you already have a queue of posts lined up unlike me, oh gosh! I envy your zeal and determination as a writer. Clearly, you’re never short on insight!
I just don't have a day job anymore, so hive keeps me off the streets while my wife works to make the big bucks - and I do the cooking, cleaning, and other household administration. I'm a lucky man
That sounds like a good balance. Hive keeps you engaged, and managing the home is real work on its own.
I do get exhausted doing house chores, running my business, taking care of my one year old and hiving. To be sincere it's to much to handle but I don't know how I pull it off even though I am yet to find my balance.
It’s great that you both support each other in different ways.
It really is incredibly how much time it all takes up. I recently saw a YouTube video where a guy started doing a whole bunch of "this thing is recommended by x person" and kept adding more and more each day, for a full thirty days to see how it improved their life.
It was really interesting, as I've always thought about that concept.
eg:
"You're meant to walk 10,000 steps a day"
"After every meal, brush your teeth"
"Do meditation"
"Go to the gym"
"Journal"
"Do a skincare routine"
"Take an ice bath"
and so many other tasks. We have to accept that by devoting our time to one thing, we are actively appreciating that we are neglecting another thing. It is not possible to do it all. Time is the only resource that we can't make more of.
You're damn right. It is a clear example of how overwhelming it gets when you try to follow every recommended habit.
There are only 24 hours in a day, and trying to fit everything in leaves you overwhelmed before your day kick start. Choosing one thing often means dropping another, and that's just the reality. Time is limited, and it is important to be more intentional with how we spend it, and that is why I made hive optional but the rest are a must do.
I started work on that analysis. I will be posting it in a few days. I've made some interesting discoveries.
I'm looking at a week worth of data, from May, and the average word count is 399, the median is 248. Average payout $2.05, median payout, $0.48
Keep an eye out for my post, I'll have a LOT more info - my former day job was as a data analyst :D
That was fast! It sounds like a solid start already. Those figures are really interesting, most especially the gap between average and median payouts.
Looking forward to seeing the full breakdown when you finally publish. Your background definitely adds weight to the analysis!
Thank you for your time, see you in your next publish.
