It's me again with overthinking about the value of my posts... 馃檪 Sometimes I have a feeling that I didn't deliver much value in my posts and that I stayed "short" to my readers... My content creation process began during the day and I'm "cooking" the idea until the evening (or the next day), and only just then, I "convert" them into the text, or a video like the last one... The problem is that during the day, I accumulate some great points for future posts, and write down some, but forget at least 50% of them... When I finished the post, they started coming back and I had that feeling that I was short with value...

On the other side, sometimes happens the opposite... The delivered content is too much for some readers to grasp and they are "uncomfortable" to comment and join discussions... I think that something similar happened with my last post, where the post received some super-quality comments as the topic was important... and the topic was "provocative"... made people think... and share their views... But just a few "dared" to comment...
And now we come to the biggest problem... Not everyone likes to think... I have to admit that sometimes, I just want to disconnect and STOP thinking!!! 馃槂 For me, the easiest way is to watch a movie, or some documentary... But, if the movie is too good, then that bloody brain starts to wiggle... 馃槂
In conclusion, the value of a post is a very complex thing and it's very hard to measure it... My post wasn't super-great, but its value came from others, "making" people comment and add value on top of it! In that way, it wasn't just MY post, but we have to look at it as a whole, post with the comments, and I would say that OUR LAST post was fantastic! I enjoyed reading the comments, and enjoyed the discussion with you guys! Thank you for that!
Happy to see mature thinking of people who understand how HIVE works and how it can help people in the long term, especially with accumulating HivePower and appreciating others by curating their posts...
Speaking of accumulation and Hive Powert, it's time to go back to other numbers for #MyHiveGoals... In the beginning, let's check out HiveStats...

To mix things up, I have taken the weekly chart from Hivestats to zoom in on my results in the last 7 days... I'm more for zooming out, especially in these not-that-good crypto days, but it's not bad to take a closer look sometimes... I did power-up some HIVE every day, but it looks like the Hivestats are in a different time zone and it didn't register my power-up on September, 6th, but added to the amount on the previous day...
On the first 3 days of the week, I got author rewards from the week before and that's why I had those great green bars, and later in the week, I got lazy... But, when you are accumulating HivePower, and curating posts, even when you don't create posts, you can earn HivePower as you can see on the chart!
This week, I have reached another "rounded number" milestone and my HivePower went over 71K! I'm less than 4K far away from my yearly goal! I began the year with a bit more over 56K HivePower, which means that, since then, I have accumulated around 15K HP! During the last 7 days, I have added 240 HP, which fits perfectly in my weekly range between 200 and 250HP...
My LEO Power goal is the part where I have missed my weekly goals and by far... If I say that I did it deliberately, I would lie, but on the other side, I haven't created too much "finance" content lately and the lack of author rewards is obvious... The APR on curation is low, so despite having a decent stake my LEO curation rewards aren't that big...
During the last 7 days, I have accumulated only 46 LEO Power, including my author rewards that I have staked, and my curation rewards! That's not enough to reach my yearly goal for LEO and slowly, I'm starting to worry about this goal... On the other side, the summer is over, I will spend more time inside my home, researching the cryptosphere, which means more potential content sharing for the LEO community!
GAMING GOALS - Flexible Goals
I'm playing the catchup game regarding my Rising Star goal... As the goal is directly connected with the number of cards in my possession, I'm trying to open more packs lately... At the end of the last month, we weren't able to open them for a few days, and my goal suffered a bit because of that... I will try to open at least 12 packs more during the week, along with the standard 48...
In the last 7 days, I have accumulated 175 cards in total and I will try to repeat that number next week, or at least around that number... When I checked the numbers in the spreadsheet, I noticed that even with that number of cards, my monthly percentage went up by only 1.17%, and if I would like to catch up with my goal, I would have to do closer to 2% per week! That's the number to aim for!
I have no news regarding my GLX tokens goal... The price is still low, in my opinion, and the only thing that comes to my mind is to continue compounding and accumulating tokens! The staking APR is still very high and I will continue with staking and use it! My goal for this year is reached and everything over it is an additional bonus...
During the week, I have accumulated additional 2300 GLX tokens and I have added ALL to my stake... I know that we should take profits sometimes, but with these prices, I can afford to lose those profits for a potential, greater good in the future!
It's time to update the numbers and put them into the spreadsheet until the next week! So, freshly updated numbers for #MyHIVEGoals, on September 10th, 2023 are:
These are my initial goals for 2023 created on January 15th, 2023:
Join me in this awesome #MyHiveGoals and let's grow together! It is fun, motivating, and will keep you focused!
