October-Yan SMART Goals

Date: October 2, 2021
Start time: 00:51 AM
End time: 3:10 AM

Happy second day of October everyone! I am happy yesterday (Friday) because I am able to complete the script that I tried doing earlier for work. I made it work!

Anyways, this article will be all about my goal for this month of October.

I do not usually set any goals here and even on noise.cash platforms and just like go with the flow.

But then after reading some articles of the old users about their monthly goal's status report, I got curious and told myself, why not! I mean I can also try and set some goals right? At least I have something to look back and use as my baseline comparison at the end of each month.

This will help to easily track my progress as well.

Despite of having goals for this month, I promise to not pressure myself on achieving them I will still just go with the flow and will not force myself to complete all those goals. This will be basically for tracking purposes.

My Read.Cash Goals

Write and publish atleast 1 article per day.

Yesterday, I tried to be time sensitive while composing my article. I tried to record how long does it take for me to finish atleast a 5 minutes read time article and as per my record, I have consumed a total of 2 hrs. Proof read time is not included here cause as soon as I have completed writing, I immediately published it without reviewing my wordings and grammar.

Achieving this goal seems to be challenging for me because I have work from Monday to Friday and after shift, I am assisting my daughter (Grade 2) with her assignments. This is on top of doing bits of house chores as well.

Another factor that can hinder in achieving this goal is the project assigned to me at work. It is testing in progress at the moment and has target date of October 25th.

Also, earlier, my eldest son (currently in Grade 6) told me all his projects that needs to be submitted by next week.

First is the Christmas lantern.

They need to create a video of themselves creating Christmas lantern. I already have an idea on what lantern I will teach him to do.

But me and my son knows nothing about editing videos, so, good luck to both of us. I will need to watch some online tutorials available in YouTube.

Second project is the table of elements that he needs to draw in 1/8 piece of illustration board.

I've already asked my husband's assistance for this one and he already agreed that he will be the one to assist our son for this. I've also secured all the materials needed hence I don't have any actions needed on this one except on chasing my husband to assist my son.

Third project is planting tomato seeds.

He needs to start planting seeds tomorrow and make a short video clip to track the progress of it in a daily basis.

Given those bit busy schedule of mine, I will still try to achieve this 1 published article per day goal. I know it will be difficult but as per the saying "there's no harm in trying". But then again, I won't pressure myself on this.

October has 31 days hence at the end of the month, I should have published 31 articles as well (wow! that sounds a lot! phew!).

Earn at least $3 per day.

I know this amount might be too small and too easy to earn for others but to me it's not.

I am not sure yet how to achieve this but what I am going to do is try to read atleast 10 articles per day just like what the others are doing, interact with other writers and support their articles as well by means of upvoting them.

Distraction #1

01:15: My son asked for dede milk (bottled milk).
01:29: writing resumed

HODL all my BCH earnings.

There are some cases where I am tempted to spend my earnings.

Cases which can be avoided easily by just simply avoiding shopee. Yes you heard it right! Shopee is my number one temptation in spending my earnings.

Starting this month, I am going to track all my cashed outs from my BCH earnings. I will to HODL as much as I can and try to accumulate for up to 1, 2, 3, or even more BCH in the future.

Gain more Friends from the platform.

I am really enjoying every time I am exchanging conversation with other writers here in read.cash. I already felt comfortable speaking with a lot of writers here. It's like I am talking to my friends as well.

Staying here helps eliminate my boredom specially during my working hours and the shift is just so quiet and I don't have anyone to talk to.

Even though my shift is quiet and no issues are coming in, I still need to keep an eye on our applications and make sure they are all running fine. It means I still need to remain and be seated in front of my PC even though I don't have something relevant to do. That's why checking both noise.cash and read.cash sites helps me kill those idle hours of mine at work.

How about you folks? Do you prefer setting up monthly goals as well?

Setting your goals does not mean you have to force and pressure yourself to achieve them.

It's just like you're setting up the guidelines so you know where you're going or know your path.

When setting-up your goals, just make it SMART.

S = Specific

M = Measurable

A = Action Oriented

R = Realistic

T = Timely

Learned this from my job as we also are required to set our goals bi-annually which will be our Manager's basis in his evaluation.

I am so excited for the weekends cause it means I can sleep and lay in my bed all day long. My ultimate goal every Saturday is to have at least 8 hours of non-clustered sleep.

It is my opportunity to lay down in bed all day long because I don't have work hence no need to wake up so early in the morning!.
