Last time on "Goals" I've constructed a list of what are esentially daily tasks that leverage the motivating power of personal responsibility in public. But it strikes me that these are not so much goals themselves as more of a set of "goal-directed actions", mentioned in the DUC article summary above.
So in the spirit of incremental iteration, let's outline the actual overarching goals I've set for mysel here:
Yes, number one isn't the usual sort, despite extrinsic motivation playing an important role in my engagement with STEEM. I've already expressed my full sentiment on the matter in my very first post but the short of it is that I'm the kind of person that has a lot of trouble with motivation, but I really REALLY want to find it. And thanks to latest research and the tech I'm using righ now I was able to finally find my true source.
@agmoore who advised me to start bloggin to 
@opheliafu who encouraged me to follow my creative impulses and take a shot at the fantastic 
@dadanyc initiative. I won't do the full list here, but every response and upvote on STEEM powers up my motivation engine.
Financial incentive was not my primary motivation to engage with STEEM, for several reasons:
That said I'm not the kind of person who turns down even a penny honestly earned and I'm willing to put stock into the possible value of my account -- for the chance to shape STEEM's future, if nothing else.
Post Script
Today was a bit of a rough day, but ever since I started on the road of "self-reenforcing motivation", positive impulses to improve, do more, come at me from every direction. (Speaking of which, tomorrow I'll have to come back to yesterday's rushed TTS bit, for it is sourly lacking.)
