Darn! I did my last #MyHiveGoals post 3 weeks ago, which is probably the longest break that I had between these reports! The main point of doing these posts is to keep myself motivated, focused, and accountable! It looks like this "unfortunate event", or better said experiment, showed exactly how it is to fail at all 3 things by skipping such a simple, but beneficial habit of creating these reports...
And exactly that was the topic of the video that I watched on YouTube just a few minutes before, creating GOOD HABITS that can change your life forever! It wasn't about #MyHiveGoals, of course, 馃槂 but I can easily connect it with any of the points from that video...

The IRONY is in the fact that my last report was named "HYPNOTIZED", which was probably one of the states where I was in the meantime... lol... Okay, I don't want to be too hard on myself as I did have some unexpected events and issues along the road, but could I have done better? Yes, I could...
That's why I named this post "Accountable" as I like to self-reflect on things that I have done and try to be better next time! Yes, I made a mistake and I take myself accountable for that... I will write that down (maybe by creating a post about it), to remind myself for the future... to be better...
Back to the #MyHiveGoals numbers... Here we are 3 weeks after the last report...

First things first, my HivePower goal doesn't go as well as I planned... I didn't power down any HP for ages (or ever?), and the number is growing nicely just from my curation rewards, but I have raised the bar for this year more than just APR of curation on HIVE! I made the goal much higher because I knew that I would try to wiggle and create less content if I could... 馃檪 Again, it's not the problem that I don't have ideas for posts, it is more about that focus that goes to some other things...
So, after entering the current numbers in the table, I looked at them without switching to 5th month of the year and even then, I wasn't on my monthly goal with my HivePower! I did a nice 500 HP power-up at this month's #HivePUD, and my total HP grew almost 1300HP in the last 3 weeks, but that's far away from the "needed" amount for catching up with my HivePower goal!
To catch up with my monthly goal, I would have to accumulate over 2500 HP this month, which is almost impossible to do... But, it isn't impossible to reduce that gap and make it smaller for the next month... I will have to warm up my chair and work more... More engagement! I need that! I need to go out more and engage more with others! I know the theory, now I only have to do it!
Let's move into some "brighter numbers"... 馃槂 What I did push more in the last 2-3 weeks is my SWAP.HIVE:LEN shares goal! I didn't sell almost any of my LEN tokens, and instead doing that, I put all into the pool! Also, I have raised some of my HP delegations to 
In the last 3 weeks, the number of SWAP.HIVE:LEN shares went up for 221, which makes it around 70 shares per week... To reach my monthly goal for May, I need around 75 shares more, which is doable as we are only at the beginning of the month! Pretty optimistic about this one!!!
Speaking of optimism, my Rising Star goal is doing even better! The number of cards that I own went up by over 1 thousand in the last 3 weeks and I need around 3.5K cards more to reach my YEARLY goal!
What is interesting about the Rising Star is that even with this growth, I'm still struggling to keep my position in general rankings in the game! That doesn't bother me too much at all, but it does the opposite! It is encouraging to see that people are playing the game and pushing hard! The interest in the game is still there despite the long bear market where many games literally died...
These were my initial numbers and goals for 2024, created on January 7th, 2024...
