I agree. Also I felt that sort of panick in the beginning too, but now I feel like I use Steemit as my motivator. I use it as a means to get me going, as if I put it on the top of my list of to doing then it spurs me onward for the rest of the day, try to use it rather then feeling used by it, if that makes any sense. But, I still take breaks from it, of course.
I do an unplug each day, though. There is a time frame in my day that is no tech, I really need that, or I'd get nothing done. :)
