This is a short sum-up table with the state of my goals in easier TLDR form. The table has only a general overview, with details expanded in the post.

52-Week HBD Savings Challenge

A 52-week challenge following the popular model starts slowly and becomes increasingly more difficult with every passing week. The challenge is not at the beginning but at the end. That's why, we can use the easy start to prepare for the tougher weeks ahead.

In my case, I started with 1 HBD in week 1. This is also the step that increases the amount I need to save every week. The rule is, in my case: I need to add to savings the amount of HBD per week equal to the week number in the challenge. That means, in week 52 I'll need to save 52 HBD.

We are in the 14th week of the 52-week HBD challenge. That means I added 14 HBD to the savings for this particular goal, and reached 105 HBD, without counting the accrued interest.

Here's how things look right now:

Note: You can see there is already a small discrepancy in the totals between the spreadsheet and what is in the wallet. That is because of some approximations and easy calculations, mainly calculating and adding interest weekly instead of at every block or when it is calculated by the blockchain.

Note 2: The withdrawal you see from savings is 0.001 HBD which was automatically withdrawn to compound the interest.

Another week when I managed to keep this challenge going without using any HBD reserves.

I am now above 100 HBD in savings from this challenge, and the amounts needed to deposit weekly started to become significant: 14 HBD this week, and growing by 1 every week.

Posting & Commenting Goal

I haven't missed a daily post this year yet. Reached 1746 posts published, with 259 left to hit the target in 2024. That puts the progress at 26% where 25.00% was needed to be in the green.

Here's the situation so far:

I haven't missed any edition of Week through Adrian's Lenses in 2024 either, and I mention this since it's also part of my posting goal. Overall, I reached the 64th edition of the weekly roundup which debuted at the beginning of 2023.

I also started the week with 18,104 comments made. Ended the week with 18201, which means I made 97 comments last week, which is roughly the weekly average needed to reach the comments target by the end of the year.

I currently need an average of 98 comments weekly to reach the comments target by the end of the year.

Land Plots Unlocked

Another significant progress in unlocking land plots this week, using newly added and freed-up DEC.

Started the week with 59 plots unlocked and productive and 17 under construction. I currently have 64 productive plots and 16 under construction, again, 4 more than last week.

For the accounting part of this goal, I'll add plots under construction as unlocked, to better see changes from week to week, even though, technically, they are not productive until the clearing part is finished and you feed the workers.

Here's the current situation:

And a more detailed view:

Productive Plots: 64
Under Construction: 16

A few more worksites will be completed this week, which will increase the number of productive plots.

By the way, look what I found today... a legendary totem fragment. My first one! And my first non-common fragment, too.

LEO Staked

My LEO stake remained at 23,400 LP and I added some to the SWAP.HIVE-LEO diesel pool.

Here's the current situation:

ZING Multiplier - Completed

Goal completed in week 10 with 25,203 ZING.

Since then, I slowly grew my stash from staking rewards only. Waiting for sales.

My ZING holdings are now at 25,558.

This was the final situation when the goal was achieved, I won't keep updating it:

Congratulations on getting above 100 HBD in savings. It will really add up over time.

There will be a time toward the end of the year when I'll need to add half of that weekly:

Great progress! Keep up the good work!

How are those land plots working out so far for the investment?

I see the price has plummeted, but still, way higher than the price I paid for them.

Any profit is a good profit!

How are you able to post everyday even though you are busy?
I’ve missed so many daily posts this year and I’m pained
I hope I am able to post everyday till the end of this year and for life

How are you able to post everyday even though you are busy?

It became a routine. And sometimes I choose the topics I am going to write about based on how much time I have during each day (if I don't have something already prepared).

Great job on your goals @gadrian! Very good job on your savings challenge. Have a great week! Barb #ctp

Thanks, Barb! Yes, the savings challenge started to become a little more serious and will be increasingly more difficult every week. Have a great week!

Yes, @gadrian. I'm sure it will as it is adding up quickly to larger amounts. Thank you and you too 😀 !BBH !CTP

A big congratulations on hitting the milestone. I strongly believe more is to come

Thanks! I hit the Holozing milestone in Week 10. Have been kind of dormant on that front since, until I have something else to focus on.

Keep pushing and going dear friend. I know certainly someday you will achieve those goals you set

Thanks! Well, that's the plan. :)
