After nearly 6 months on this platform, I wanted to sit down and better define my goals here. I dedicate around 2 hours every day to creating and curating content, so it's time I get focused. I won't be powering down for the whole year, just to see where this platform goes, and my main goal is to hit 60 reputation by next year. Considering I've been at 57 for months, this seems rather ambitious.
It's time to make a plan.
I want to be a better Steemian! I’ve met so many incredible people on here that I have a hard time keeping up with everyone across all the communities I'm interested in (travelers, fiction writers, vloggers, etc) while also staying open to meeting new people. I sold off my SBDs with the high price and re-invested it into Steem, so now I have almost 1000 Steem Power. With voting power comes the responsibility to support great content!
This is a work in progress, but the idea is to get through my backlog while only posting around once per day. If I miss doing the daily videos, I may post more than once a day but I don't want to overwhelm my followers' feeds.
The Roving Vlogger On the Road
What happened to the 55 daily videos I never posted on Steemit? Well, my family wanted me to "be present" while we were traveling together through Spain (how dare they?!) and I want to do these justice by incorporating detailed writing and my best photos. I will cherry-pick the best for you guys, and once I am through this will return to a Daily Edition.
The Roving Vlogger Daily Edition
A simple video journal of my life from Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I want to focus on fitness, achieving my goals, discussing the things I learn each day, and keeping things interesting with mini-adventures.
“That Time I..."
My chance to record some of my favorite true and unusual stories, designed to be entertaining and educational. I only got a few episodes into this series: “That Time I Rode the Ferry Dressed as a French Maid” and “That Time I Spent a Week Swimming With Wild Dolphins”. They are VERY VERY time-consuming to write at the quality I want for them, especially considering my first one earned just over $1, but hopefully I will still be able to release one a week.

Adventure Reading
When I die, I mostly want to be known as “that girl who liked to read everywhere she went.” Here I will geek out about books and the places I read them at.

Miscellaneous
Like this one today! Here I can post fiction, personal reflections, participate in or hold contests, or just take a day off!
So come by on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for the high-effort posts, and the rest of the time for varied fun. (Not to say that editing and uploading videos every single day isn't high-effort, but they're not necessarily exciting.)
I think it's important to write down why you want to accomplish your goals when you set them! If I lose these and no new ones come about, then it's time to move on to a new goal.
