September Results

Hello my dear Read dot Cash friends. How is everyone? Yes October is finally here. I'm glad it's arrived because October is the first full month of fall. Temperatures will likely be cool all month and probably won't snow here but has in the past. Who is else is excited for the new month?

Well I'm going to go over my goals I set in September. Im going to say I didn't meet all my goals especially when it comes to platform goals. I'm happy to say that most of my personal goals (non platform) were satisfied. I'm going to take October with a different approach. I'll touch on it a bit throughout the article but for a full view you'll have to wait for a future seperate article. Here are the goal categories:

• Health

• Family

• Delivery/Full time job

• Financial goals

• Read/Noise Goals

Health

At the begining of the month I set goals to see better out of my eyes from a surgery I had on 8/25. At the beginning of the month I was seeing about 40% out of my viewable vision. I set the goal to be at 80% and happy to say I'm close to 90%. I probably should have not set this goal because it was something I really didn't have control of. I was hopeful of it and pleased where I'm at though :) Moving forward I'm only going to mention expectations that are fully obtainable.

Another goal I set was to be able to run 3 miles by the end of the month. I did this on Wednesday on the treadmill. I logged 3 miles in 27 minutes, not back to my norm though which is around 2o minutes. I'm happy with it though because I didn't get back to running until 9/19. I didn't run on the weekends and I confess I didn't even run the last two days of this month. I'll be back to it again on Monday to push myself harder.

My last health goal was to get back on track to a diet. I did well here even though it wasn't until the mid month point. After that point I didn't really splurge and didn't eat until I felt I was full. Yes I ate some not so healthy foods but I ate them in moderation. A few times I didn't eat breakfast. That's not good by the way because I believe that is the most important meal of the day.

Family

I didn't really set a goal here because I was with them so much because I was limited on what I could do. I do plan to make future expectations here. It will probably be in the form of getting out of the house together.

My Delivery Job/ Full Time Job

So I set the goal to hit 15 deliveries by the end of the month. I surpassed this but I haven't exactly been fully back to it. I did my first delivery on 9/23 and haven't quite got back to my average hours. Usually I do between 120-160 deliveries a month. Today I will do my first multiple hour weekend shift.

For my full-time I set out to be able to do all the physical things again. I met this towards the end of the month as I assisted others loading a C-17 aircraft with cargo. I'm glad I'm no longer sitting in the office being treated as a secretary, haha.

Financial Goals

Since I got an extra pay check this month I was able to reach my goal to save $400 for a future car purchase. I hope to make this purchase towards the end of December.

Read & Noise

I set a goal to publish 20 articles for the month. I came up short of this goal as I hit 17 I believe. I struggled with time management, some days I had to work overtime at my full-time job. I have come to the conclusion unfortunately that I just can't be a dailey writer here. I will of course continue to read articles everyday and interact with as many of you as I can. That goal was to read 15 articles a day, I sometimes double that each day 🤣 Moving forward I will set the bar a little lower on publishing. I do believe I have put out better content compared to the previous month when I started here.

One goal I have accomplished in both platforms is making my articles and posts a little more attractive. I was blessed to have someone create me a banner. Thank you @Zainab_Fatima I have also included more photos in my articles and posts. The last thing I did was include links where to find me elsewhere 😊

I have met my goal to get to 50 subscribers here. As you can see I'm currently at 83 and growing. On Noise dot Cash my goal was simply to get to 100. I made that but as we all know it is dying there. The funny thing is I have more followers on Noise dot App. How is this possible? 🤣

So I had two goals I wanted to do for others. One was to gift my good friend @bmjc98 with a birthday surprise. The other was to reward @re-joyce @BCH-lover @TeacherLynlyn as part of my "ber month" celebration. I am happy I accomplished both. It was not all I did,I gifted a few others on their special days and used some others in a form of a tribute in two of my articles. Look for more to come in October, I love you all 💜

I fell on my face in Noise to meet the 3 post per day goal . At first I was doing 3 or 4 dailey posts. It wasn't long after that I dropped to just 2,to 1, and to sometimes not at all. I believe the new Noise dot App threw me off but I should have put more effort getting there. After all it's just a quick thing to do.

Final determination

I made some and came up short/long on a few. I am really thinking about not setting goals. But why? I feel I don't need the added stress. I think I'm going to do it a little different for months to come. I'm going to label it promises and I'd like to. For the promises things I know I can do. The "I'd like to"things would be things I consider to be nice to achieve. Also maybe not so many things to save on article length 🤣

I thank you for your time reading and going through my article. I hope everyone has a fruitful and productive October.
