At the start of the month, I published an article regarding my goals for August. Some goals are easily achieved within the first two weeks of August. Some goals were met with difficulties.
I had even thought of giving up on some of my goals, but thankfully I pushed through.
Of course, it would not have been possible without your support and encouragement. As well as the generosity of my wonderful sponsors.
I will be dividing it into different parts and sharing why I think I succeeded or not in each goals.
noise.cash
Post good content daily.
I will consider this one a success even if I have not been as active in making noise this month. Because of this goal, I was always conscious of what I would write, instead of just posting every hpur just for the sake of it. I think my posts everyday vary from 3-5 posts which is a lot less than my previous 8-12 posts from the previous months.
I also want to use QR code tip more.
This is also a sucess since even though I am not commenting so much to different posts, I still love leaving tips aside from heart tips. I usually use this for the crochet channel I am a part of, "Crochet Addict". Their crochet projects are so pretty and I do my best to leave them support so that they can continue their passion.
I want to interact more.
This is not as successful as the other goals. I do not want to lie and say that I was interactive because I was not. In fact, I have been less interactive. I barely reply to comments on my posts, and I barely leave comments to other's posts.
read.cash
I want to post a total of 30 articles this month.
I am considering this a success because when I publish this, I will have 30 articles for this month (excluding my sister's articles). But I will still publish an articles summaty tomorrow.
I want to consistently upvote other users as well.
This is a success. I even gained a diamond badge without expecting it HAHA. Turns out that there are a lot of articles out here worth upvoting. (You rock, everyone! Keep on writing!!!)
I want to sponsor someone.
I managed to do this at the first week of August, I believe. As of now, I only sponsor 2 users. I stopped sponsoring as of the moment because I am still thinking about what link should I put. I will sponsor more once I figured it out. For now, I am sponsoring 2 users which links back to my read.cash account.
Like in noise.cash, I want to interact more with users here.
This is a success for the most part. There were times when I could not interact as much but I believe that I am still more interactive this month than any other months before.
BCH
I want to accumulate over 0.20 BCH.
This is a goal where I almost cried. At the end of the first week of this month, I had already accumulated pver 0.10BCH. Of course, I was so happy. But then something came up and I needed to cashout some money. By the second week of August, my wallet has 0BCH left.
Still, with everyone's support I was able to achieve this goal despite the difficulties I encountered. I will share more about this soon.
I want to HODL 0.20 BCH every month until I reach 1BCH.
I do not want to talk too soon but I believe I will be able to HODL 0.20BCH for this month. The 0.20BCH from July was converted because of some personal reasons. So August will be the new start of HODLing more BCH.
Every excess of BCH I have will go to another wallet which is accessible to be converted to PHP everytime I need some money.
I will transfer the excess BCH soon because there are some bills that need to be paid.
I also want to be similar to how others managed their BCH, where they sell when it is green and then buy the dip when it comes.
I did this during the time I needed money. I sold it when it was green and left some to buy some dip. When I needed more money, I sold the BCH again when it was green.
Others
Outside of these platforms I also set some goals as well.
I want to get back into painting again. Either digital or traditional is fine.
This is a success, and I shared the 2 paintings I made in noise.cash. Both are digital though.
I want to keep the habit of daily journaling.
I managed to do this everyday and it helped me a lot. This habit made more aware of what I feel and why. Even if I could not find the reason for what I am feeling, I still feel good when I write all of my thoughts down. Reading my entfies sometimes feel like I am meeting myself.
I also want to be more active in social media outside of noise.cash and read.cash.
This is a success kinda. I am not super active as compared to my activity here and on noise.cash. However, I can say that it is a success since I usually do not post anything on my social media. But for this month, I became active in posting some of my crochet works in a crochet group. I also managed to organize a giveaway of yarns. Moreover, I became active in answering questions when before I would have just scrolled by.
I am setting a very achievable goal of crochet 5 small projects and 1 big project.
Well, this is both a success and a fail. A success because I managed to do a big project and 5 small projects by the first week of August. A fail because I did not managed to restrain myself. As I checked my gallery, there were 20 pictures of my August crochet projects there. And then I have some projects which I did not take a picture of. So yup, I over-exerted myself doing crochet projects HAHA. At least I have a lot of fun.
My thoughts
To be honest, the goals I set put a lot of pressure on me. I set this goals with what I experience last month in mind but my August is very different from my July.
There were a lot of challenges that made it hard to be as productive as my July self. This August, I burnt myself out. Now I have a cold while writing this but I am still continuing because I set these goals and I need to update that I have accomplished them.
This is supposed to be a longer article where I shared the pictures of my paintings, the screenshot of my August earnings, the upvotes I managed to give back to other users, as well as the crochet projects I did. But I cannot think clearly of how to organize it into a long article so I will be dividing it into 2 articles. This one is a general update where I share that yes, I have accomplished the goal. The second one (which I can hopefully publish tonight as well) will include some pictures as well as the story of why I started with 0BCH balance at the second week of August, and how much BCH does my wallet have now.
Anyway, thank you so much for always supporting me. I really appreciate it even if I seem unapproachable.
I look forward to seeing an update in your August goals as well!
