I can not believe January flies like that. I suppose I’ve been enjoying my resting time quite a lot and taking care of my family. For the last couple of years, I recall January has always been the time for me rekindling my relationship with my family and a fun time catching up with my cousins and other family members who mostly ask me about the places I had been and the things I’ve been doing. I even get to see my niece and nephew growing older and it’s pretty bizarre. Meanwhile, I am only twenty five and it feels just like nineteen. I also saw many of my childhood friends and even the younger ones getting married one by one and having children. Well, I am definitely not feeling like I missed out but it’s just bizarre that my teen just flashes right before my eyes. My biggest regret from my early twenties is that I worried excessively about unimportant matters. In the end, I learned that worrying is very unproductive and I am slowly coming out of it. That’s why I am now worry-free and focusing on what matters that will bring progress into my life. I recently like the idea of setting goals and reviewing them. Though I don’t always achieve them, the goals that I wrote down will happen in one way or another. Some of them certainly take time and some happen right away. For example, this January for my yearly goal I wrote that I will be reading a book every month, taking a cultural trip, photography course and watching more movies. Eventually, some of those two already happened and will happen in the coming future. I certainly haven't made a monthly goal yet since January was a bit hectic but it’s time that now I am making a monthly goal that’s achievable. This year, I also want to make some hive goals as well. So you will see below that I will divide my personal and my hive goals! Want to know what I’ll be up to this month and keep me accountable? Follow along my journey.

Personal Goals

As you see, I’ve been consistently reading one book a week. It poses a challenge itself especially when I am on the move. This month, my personal goal remains the same with a few additions. I don’t really make big personal goals as this month I will be on the move quite a bit again. But some of my key 2023 is definitely integrated into my goals.

• Consistently reading a book once a week.
• Doing my taxes properly and setting up another retirement funds account.
• Meditating at least 30 minutes.
• Fixing my sleep (I am reminded of @cmplxty who talked about his biphasic sleep!) and realized that my january sleep is messed up!
• Starting a course on digital marketing.
• Getting back into society and not staying under the rock or isolating myself.

The last part of my personal goal is something a bit challenging. I feel so disconnected about the world around me and stayed in my own buble where it’s all about crypto, crypto and crypto. I made some attempts in the past to get out of my own buble and sort of succeed but I realized just cause I spent my whole teenage years in crypto, traveling and being a geek, keeping up with the latest trends and what people are interested in was quite challenging. So, I am making more effort this year to be more sociable and approachable.

Hive goals

From my latest assessments, there are some things that I could improve on my journey on Hive. It has become a big part of my life and most of my time is spent here. However, I usually don’t dedicate any allocated time which often makes me wander too much, reading, scrolling and curating without really setting a dedicated time. This actually is pretty bad because my progress wasn’t really measured and so are the communities I manage. With Hive, I have got my hands full switching from more than two communities with big subscribers to it like movies on hive, pets and even book club. Outside those, I work on lovesniper, OCD, and OCD curations. On top of those, my own blog is also there which is something I also enjoy doing. So, that’s why I want to make some monthly hive goals because it just makes it easier to measure and check on my progress. Here are some of my February goals

• Adding more collaboration opportunity for Hivebookclub and possibly Hive Pets
• Possibly organizing more contest and engagement on Hive Book Club
• Write a blog daily (I suck at consistency lately )
• Savings HBD daily for full february
• Exploring more tokens on hive and its utilities
• Increasing my HPUD delegation for March at the moment, it’s only 250HP with 10HP powered up to the lucky winner. I noticed that this has helped mostly new hivers grow and I love reading success stories about people who made it out of minnow!
• Experimenting with keeping my voting power below 20% !
• Use @liketu more! I find it fun commenting on liketu but once again, sometimes I suck with being consistent as I use peakd most of the time and it’s easier for curating and other things. But since I discovered the convenience of the side-to-side layout, it’s amazing. Anyone should really consider giving it a try!

I look forward to reviewing them again next month. I hope I can crush all these goals because with what I have going on, all things considered they are pretty doable to do and align with my yearly goal. Do you have monthly goals or even hive goals for February?
