Happy New Years everyone. As usual, the first of the month is it means it's time for another Hive Power Up Day. It's the perfect time to start setting some goals for 2022. I did manage to reach all of my monthly goals in December so I think I closed out the end of the year on a good note.
Hive Power Up Day
More information about Hive Power Up Day (HPUD) can be found at the January HPUD by "@"traciyork. Last month wasn't that bad as I gained over 150 HP from my activity on the block chain.
My current HP before powering up is 2,178 and I plan on powering up 25 HIVE again this month. The results of this can be seen in the picture below and here is the transaction link. While I did consider increasing it, I am current trying to plan out how to use my HBD. So I would like to leave some HIVE incase I want to buy more Chaos Legion packs or Hive Engine tokens.
I have finished up the Saturday Saver's Challenge and you can see the final addition of X HBD. I collected 0.593 HBD as interest it is 21 cents more than last month.
Monthly Goals
Here I will set my goals for the month and review my previous month's goal.
Previous Month Summary
Here I will review the goals I set from my December goals.
I staked the 100 LEO I needed to reach 1.6k Leo Power. I also bought 10 UTOPIS last month and got to a total of 70 staked UTOPIS. As I have shown above, my HP also reached my goal and I added 250 LEO to my CubFinance pile in this post.
January goals
I haven't decided what my yearly goals will be but this will be a kind of way to keep me accountable towards everything going on in HIVE.
- 3 Blog Posts a week (Actifit does not count for this)
- 1,000 comments for the month.
- 2350 HP
- 1,700 Leo Power Staked
- Buy 10 UTOPIS and stake it
- Invest at least 200 LEO to Cub Finance
- Maintain top 75 rank in Rising Star
- Finish Splinterlands quest daily
The first two and the last 2 should be things that are fully in my control. After all I can control how many posts or comments I make and anything related to the games is fully under my control. The comment goal means I should put in around 33 comments a day and I think I should be able to clear this without too many issues.
As for number 3 to 4, it's my usual HP and LP goal for the month. Even if it's not that much by people's standards, I want to make sure my account is still growing and my curation rewards will increase over time. Number 5 is my play on Defi and I want to build a big enough portfolio over at CubFinance to eventually increase my LEO staked on chain. Number 5 on my goals is basically my dividend token for the month. After all, nobody will refuse passive income right? I want at least 100 UTOPIS before considering a different token and I believe the project will do well long-term.
Conclusion
I have down my usual power up and set up some goals for the month. However, I was unable to decide which yearly goals I should set or how I should use my HBD sitting in my account. So I plan on figuring this out and comparing whether or not I prefer the diesel pools or if I prefer the savings for the 12% interest. Either way, both will be put to use to generate me more income and I want to weight both options before I finally decide.
What are your goals? Are you making good progress on them?
