This is a short sum-up table with the state of my goals in easier TLDR form. The table has only a general overview, with details expanded in the post.

Current State/Other Selection Criterion	Goals Matching the Criterion

Main Goals	3 (52-Week HBD Savings Challenge, Posting & Commenting Goal, Land Plots Unlocked)
Goals	2 (ZING Multiplier, LEO Staking)
Main Goals Completed	0
Completed Goals	1 (ZING Multiplier)

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 15th week of the 52-week HBD challenge. That means I added 15 HBD to the savings for this particular goal, and reached 120 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 1753 posts published, with 252 left to hit the target in 2024. That puts the progress at 28% where 26.92% 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 65th edition of the weekly roundup which debuted at the beginning of 2023.

I also started the week with 18,201 comments made. Ended the week with 18296, which means I made 95 comments last week, which is slightly 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 64 plots unlocked and productive and 16 under construction. I currently have 66 productive plots and 18 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: 66
Under Construction: 18

One more worksite will be completed this week, which will increase the number of productive plots.

I'm running out of suitable cards for Canyon, which is the type of land I have the most. I'm thinking in this first phase I will also fill in the slots with cards with a -10% penalty until I resolve the situation by either unlocking more suitable cards for Canyon or increasing my DEC staked on Land, so I can use more cards with 10k DEC energy requirement.

LEO Staked

My LEO stake remained at 23,400 LP, but I received my LEO airdrop for burning vexPolygon and I'm keeping them liquid for now, together with whatever else I earn until LPUD. I don't expect to stake everything then.

Here's the current situation:
