I include a link to the initial goal-setting post for 2024, for reference, if needed.

52-Week HBD Savings Challenge

A 52-week challenge following the popular model starts slowly and becomes increasingly more difficult with every passing week. The challenge is not at the beginning but at the end. That's why, we can use the easy start to prepare for the tougher weeks ahead.

In my case, I started with 1 HBD in week 1. This is also the step that increases the amount I need to save every week. The rule is, in my case: I need to add to savings the amount of HBD per week equal to the week number in the challenge. That means, in week 52 I'll need to save 52 HBD.

We are in the 13th week of the 52-week HBD challenge. That means I added 13 HBD to the savings for this particular goal, and reached 91 HBD, without counting the accrued interest.

Here's how things look right now:

^{Note: You can see there is already a small discrepancy in the totals between the spreadsheet and what is in the wallet. That is because of some approximations and easy calculations, mainly calculating and adding interest weekly instead of at every block or when it is calculated by the blockchain.}

Another week when I managed to keep this challenge going without using any HBD reserves.

Posting & Commenting Goal

I haven't missed a daily post this year yet. Reached 1739 posts published, with 266 left to hit the target in 2024. That puts the progress at 24% where 23.08% was needed to be in the green.

Here's the situation so far:

I haven't missed any edition of Week through Adrian's Lenses in 2024 either, and I mention this since it's also part of my posting goal. Overall, I reached the 63rd edition of the weekly roundup which debuted at the beginning of 2023.

I also started the week with 18,029 comments made. Ended the week with 18104, which means I made 75 comments last week, again below the weekly average needed to reach the comments target by the end of the year.

I currently need an average of 98 comments weekly to reach the comments target by the end of the year.

Land Plots Unlocked

Another significant progress in unlocking land plots this week, using newly added and freed-up DEC.

Started the week with 57 plots unlocked and productive and 15 under construction. I currently have 59 productive plots and 17 under construction, again, 4 more than last week.

For the accounting part of this goal, I'll add plots under construction as unlocked, to better see changes from week to week, even though, technically, they are not productive until the clearing part is finished and you feed the workers.

Here's the current situation:

And a more detailed view:

Productive Plots: 59
Under Construction: 17

A few more worksites will be completed this week, which will increase the number of productive plots.

Over 3/4 of my plots are currently either productive or in the clearing process. I never thought I'd be so far this early with this process. It's true, I never thought I'd use so many cards with lower than max PP, which sped up the process but reduced production. I'll work on increasing production later when I'll have more DEC.
