Why I like to set a benchmark to evaluate my goals
For this year I had decided that I want to ry to reach certain goals and keep track of my progress in a systematic way. The reason for doing that, in addition to actually reach these goals, is to realize the progress that I'm making and getting additional motivation from that.
It's 53 days ago that I've set up my goals for 2021.
My goals for 2021
By 31.12.2021, I want to reach the following targets:
- Hive 10'000 staked
- Leo 2'000 staked
- CTP 30'000 staked
- Tron 5'000 staked
- Dcity 5'000 Sim income per day before taxes
In terms of time, these 53 days represent 14.06% of the time frame from 19.12.20 to 31.12.21. This is my benchmark and I want to reach the same progression for each token.
I calculate the progression as follows: (token today-token at start) / (target - token at start)
A benchmark to follow my results more precisely
By setting a benchmark that allows me to compare my results with the time that has passed so far, I've the feeling that I can track my progression in a much more precise manner. If I'm below the benchmark, I simply have to speed things up. Write more posts or buy some coins. I can correct and change my habits early enough to reach the goals.
Standings 10.2.2021
| Token | 19.12.20 | 10.02.21 | Target | Progression |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hive Power | 5933 | 6438 | 10000 | 12.4% |
| Leo | 439 | 653 | 2000 | 13.7% |
| CTP | 16440 | 18038 | 30000 | 11.78% |
| Tron | 3035 | 3302 | 5000 | 13.58% |
| dCity SIM/Day | 837 | 3981 | 5000 | 75.52% |
Analysis of the results so far
When I look at my benchmark of 14.06%, I see that I'm below it for almost all coins a part from dcity.
With the markets being a bit crazy lately, I try to keep some liquid tokens in my wallets in order to react if necessary. This explains why I'm maybe a bit below for tokens like Hive and CTP.
I've tried to increase the number of publications in the past days and posted more often in Leo to get more Leo tokens. I believe this will be the most difficult target to achieve.
To reach my tron goals, I'm actually using some articles that are not hive related and post them on the old blockchain. This gives me also a payout in Tron that I can stake later.
I still feel on track and hope that I will reach my goals.

Ambitious goals, it's good to set them high so you have to push yourself! Good luck!
Thanks :-). They need to be challenging. If they are too easy to reach then I tend not to do the maximum possible :-)

ENGAGEtokens.Ohhh, whale detected 😛
Good to see that you have determined goals in terms of the amount of coins. I have not set any goal so far and I guess it can be better to draw a new roadmap for 2021.

Last year I didn't set any specific goals and I had the feeling I wasn't progressing at all. I think it's really motivating to have a look at where you were a couple of months ago and see the path that you covered. Thanks for stopping by!

ENGAGEtokens.I like the way you use a benchmark to monitor whether you are on target with your goals!
Thank you for sharing this information with us and I wish you all the best with reaching all your goals!
So far, you seem to be well on your way.

Thanks a lot for your feed-back. Having a benchmark allows me to see whether I'm on track or not. So if I really want to reach these goals, I know what I need to do every day :-).

As you mentioned in your video about setting your goals, it keeps you accountable too.
But while you allow yourself to be held accountable, we can also learn from you by seeing how you do it!
I really like this mindset to try to learn from others. We are all kind of learning ourselves but we are on different stages on our journeys. We can learn from everybody who is a bit further out than us and that's what makes it beautiful I believe.
ENGAGEtokens.Thank you for the tokens! I do appreciate it!
You are not that far from that 14% that you are chasing, so your goals are still reachable... At least you don't have to worry about dCity goal progress... :) You can focus on others...
Creating goals, and doing these "checkouts" is a fantastic way of keeping yourself accountable and motivated to reach them... It helped me a lot in the past year, and it's helping in this one, too...
LEO curation with a linear curve will add up, and with creating 3-4 posts per week, you should be good to go.. ;)
Good luck!
I've forced this goal a bit too much in the first days ;-).
It's true that it's motivating to set these goals and especially for me to look back at where I started.
I've quite increased the number of posts that I write so I will probably pass my benchmark soon :-). Thanks for your comment!

ENGAGEtokens.I have one of the most weird goal that do not figures on any one list.
To buy a tract on splinterlands.
Actually I am sitting on some nice swap hive and wishing Hive to rise at range of 35 cents.
Man that's a great goal to have. I've actually bought 4 plots of land but I see so much potential in the land expanse. Maybe it would be an idea to make a CTP pool to buy a land tract and then get a return from it?!?
!ENGAGE 20
If user are ready, then it can be great.
One good thing I feel about land that Land plots are fixed so if more new player come land might become more interesting.
There is a very limited supply of land and I believe that you will need several plots to be actually able to build some decent cards. If we would manage to buy a tract and then each specialises in a certain activity and we work all together, this could be great I believe.
ENGAGEtokens.given your progress, i believe you will not only achieve but surpass your goals before this year ends

Definitely, last year I didn't set any and I lost my motivation because I thought I wasn't getting anywhere. Thanks for stopping by!

ENGAGEtokens.Nice progress on your goals. It looks like your within reach for your goals so long as you stay active.
I wasn't around before the hard fork so I am not sure how Tron earnings work from posting to the other block chain. But if it helps you reach your goals, then I see no reason why you shouldn't.

Thanks for stopping by. The key is to be active, show up regularly and engage with people. That's how I try to reach my goals :-)

ENGAGEtokens.Setting goals is the first step to achieving them.
I like to set goals for myself, too.
I hope you reach them before the time you set @achim03

I didn't realise it in the past but goals are really important. Without goals you are walking without a map and without a destination.
