For me taking a break is often when I go curating content in the new section or spend time in my feed. If I need to take an engagement break altogether for a day or two I just do minimal comments but do some curation and get outside walking.
It’s funny I am a bit annoyed but I was purposely pushing out content (some pretty good posts I think, not perfect of course) so I could get the hive buzz achievement for posting every day in a week but somehow I messed it up. That’s the first time in my 2 years I posted 7 days in a row lol it was challenging not to shit post! I didn’t get it though so now I’m a bit annoyed and won’t try again for a few weeks or months.
I don’t know about your home situation but I’ve got a wife and son so there’s always something to do when I’m not on hive lol I usually am active really early in the morning when I wake up or late at night before bed. Here and there during my work day but that’s not guaranteed depending on the day. If I need a break at those times I just sleep in or go to sleep early lol.
Besides researching more things to post about do you go out for walks and stuff to get off the chain?
