I've stopped trying to focus on how much I'm making. I drive myself crazy when I do. I am trying to keep my focus on writing what I like to write about and hope the rest works itself out.

I do have a stable career as a fund accountant, so I have the ability to do this as a hobby, more or less, so maybe that makes a difference, but obsessing about reads and views and claps, when we have little to no control over it, causes unnecessary stress.
