This post on Hive goals for 2021 was made in late December of 2020. My intent was to check in each quarter to see how I'm doing. The main premise was...
If you set goals for yourself, you're more likely to achieve them.
Three months have passed, so, it's check-in time.

Summary
- During quarter 1, I blew away my goals for the whole year. Wow.
- I really don't think quarter 2 will be anywhere close to that kind of growth. We'll see.
- The reasons for my growth: increased engagement, activity on D.buzz, getting started on NFTshowroom, the creation of the LUV token (https://peakd.com/luvshares), and following my overarching goals below (copied from original post):
And my unmeasurable, overarching goals:
- Strive toward quality. You can't put a number on quality, but you know it when you see it.
- Engage more.
- Be exceedingly kind on the platform. There are only excuses to not do so.
Frankly, I feel that the geeky numbers will simply fall into place by simply following these two three overarching principles.
Edit: I can't count to three without making an error.
