Hi fellow Lions,

Today I wanted to share what I thought I wouldn't do but ended up having to do: follow a curation trail.

Ratios

One of the best things in life is finding a good balance ratio on things. I don't have things perfect but I do have them in a balance that I am able to improve here and there. This was one of those improvements for sure!

I've been challenged with some things on the real side of life and had unfortunately been forced to give up my 100% manual curation that I was doing out of necessity of time. Nothing crazy and it's temporary thankfully, but still needed it. I am still dropping in, voting, posting and leaving some comments when I can get onto the chain but I didn't want my voting power, $0.22 at 100%, to go to waste! Nor did I want to just delegate it all away. I used to delegate and that's not really my style anymore. It works for those that it needs to but I like having a little more control instead of being locked into a delegation contract for a set period plus 5 days to get my hive power back. Thankfully there are some really awesome folks here on the chain for several reasons!

I have been fortunate enough to receive some votes and attention from the folks at Curie and Curangel so I was thinking that I should help them out as well by following their curation trail and bringing back the support I've received, to others who get their votes. I've started with Curangel first to see how it goes but I think I might switch to Curie to help them out as well and not just stick to one. Needless to say though, both curation projects are awesome. I've been able to stay at around 93-97% voting power all day every day so it gives me plenty of room and opportunity to dish out some votes of my own that aren't worth a lot lower if my voting power was drained. I wasn't sure how following the trail would go but thankfully, when you need to step back a bit from activities, there are lots of options available for someone!

This is all of course possible by the awesome folks at hive.vote and the great service they have set up! I know many use it and it's really easy to do but man does it come in handy when you need it!

My manual curation was usually between 9-11% APR but it's dropped a bit following behind the trails that give out the votes instead of finding stuff before they do. I don't mind too much though, better to use the voting power than let it sit at 100% until I can spend it!

Have you used one of the voting trails to try and get some power used while you get occupied elsewhere? Did you find yourself sticking to it for a while after you didn't necessarily need to do it? Let me know what your experience is!
