Sometimes I feel like I’m not doing enough on Medium

Sometimes I want to be super good, not good only

You know when we think we’re not doing as much as we can but our mind asks for more and more?

Sometimes I feel that way about Medium. I have a terrible habit of buying myself with others (something I have to improve in my life) but what can I do? is almost unconsciously.

However, I am very productive, however, sometimes I think I could do more, even though my body is asking for rest.

I know I have to listen to my body and rest my mind, but this habit of trying to be and do better is stronger than me.

Is this going to happen to you or is it just me? I would really like to do Medium as a full-time job, and many people say that this is just a dream that will never be real, but if I per month at Medium did 600 euros which is a minimum salary here in Portugal was already simply wonderful!

This is my biggest dream right now.

If I can reach this was one of the best changes that could happen, this of course to add to the taste of writing, which I simply love.

This article was just an outburst of my mind here on Medium!
