Thankful to @starstrings01 for being so kind and for introducing me to the second edition of the newbies initiative program. Also appreciate the best team leader @nkemakonam89 for being really patient and understanding, ensuring that I’m always on my toes, taking out time to explain in details and just being really nice. It’s my duty to make you and myself proud at the end of this initiative😁.
It’s our first task which is about hive goals. I want to be as explanatory and clear as possible about my goals on hive and how I plan on achieving them.
I wont say I’m goal oriented as I’ve struggled with staying focus for the most part of my life but it’s something I’d want to do better in as regards to hive.
• WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SETTINGS GOALS
It’s dangerous to just live each day as it comes without a vision or plan.
Having goals help direct and shape one’s life. Setting goals helps you stay motivated, accountable and focused.
It helps prioritize and identify the important things in an individual’s life and filter the unnecessary distractions.
Setting goals also prevents setbacks and in the end, result to success and satisfaction.
Goals are dreams with deadlines- Diana Scharf
• MY HIVE GOALS
To be honest, when I joined hive I didn’t really have goals for the first few weeks because I just wanted to have fun. Later on, I saw it was way more than that and I had to sit up if I wanted to make an impact and also be noticed. This has been a constant struggle because like I said earlier, I’m not a goal oriented person.
Now, I know I have to do better
Hive Power: Honestly, I don’t really know much about this but I currently have an Hp of 243.970. To my understanding, I believe the higher your hp the higher your status on hive and the amount your blog has contributed to the blockchain . I plan to have 350hp at the end of this initiative.
Followers: Currently, I have 33 followers and my goal is have at least 100 followers at the end of 7 weeks. Having a lot of followers is a proof of quality interaction and a known status and I plan to be more interactive and engaging moving on.
Hive comments and Reputation:
I currently have 195 total comments which is very very poor. It shows I’ve not been as engaging as I ought to and at the end of 7 weeks, I want to have at least a total 800 comments.
For my reputation, I’m currently at 61 and I want to get to a reputation of 68 at the end of this initiative.
My goal is also to not limit myself to few communities. To be versatile and contribute to as many communities as possible in my own little way.
•STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS
I plan to work on my engagement. Relate with individuals, make friends of different communities and make quality comments on their post’s daily . I’ll make a conscious effort to be more engaging daily as I shy away from this every-time. I’ll also make a conscious effort to vote on posts and increase my hp.
I plan to be consistent and not be on and off. I plan to also increase my activity. For my reputation, i want to get more upvotes to boost and because of this, I’d be focused on getting more visibility from people in other communities. By doing this, I’d actively post quality contents so I can get noticed for upvotes.
For followers, i plan to follow anyone that engages on my posts and by so doing, they follow me back. I’d also be engaging by leaving good comments on posts so when I follow, they can follow me back as well. Hopefully I’d get my desired amount of followers. I’d also try to be as friendly as possible.
For versatility, I’d spend more time going round communities, checking what they’re about and taking note of how I can contribute in that community and then make quality posts there too.
HINDRANCES TO ACHIEVING MY GOALS
Procrastination/ Inconsistency: it’s a personal struggle and I hope things change this time. I get easily distracted and it leads to me being inconsistent in whatever I do unless I’m under any form of pressure. Most times, I forget that there’s work to be done and I tend to procrastinate hence my late entry. It’s also as a result of me being in my comfort zone for too long. I don’t want to make excuses but when you’re used to not doing anything for long, you tend to get too comfortable and it has its consequences in the long run. I didn’t think I’d come this far on hive because of this struggle but I can say I’m not doing bad but I can and will definitely do even better.
- The comfort zone is the greatest enemy of courage and confidence- Brian Tracy
Hectic School Activities: This isn’t the major hindrance but I’d say it’s part. I’m currently studying History and it’s a bulky course that requires more than the usual time and hours of studying. Also, having being out of school for over 8 months and now returning, academic activities/calendars will be rushed by the school and we’ll have little or no time for ourselves or personal activities. I should be able to balance reading and hive hopefully.
CONCLUSION
I’m thankful for the initiative and I’m sure that this would make me focus. This would also help in solving my major hindrance which is procrastination.
I know and I’m certain that at the end of this initiative, I’d achieve my goals and have a better blog on the blockchain.
Now you have some goals set down, you just have to keep reminding yourself about it and work towards it.
About the school stuff, it would be my biggest struggle. The school calendar would be rushed for sure so balancing your activities would be a challenge. But I am sure if you put your mind, you would figure it out.
Yeah absolutely. Also making a conscious effort to tackle the procrastination as that’s the first push I need.
I just even read that I’m not resuming until December😪 and so I guess I have more time to focus on this. Even when school resumes, I should be able to balance both.
Thank you for stopping by💗
Means you would have time for the initiative. The late resumption is a good thing in a way oh.
It's always good to have a goal.
Thanks for the tips hihihi😁😁
Thank you for stopping by💗

Thank you for your kind words💗
Rooting for you to the top too🤗
Thanks 🤗
I love this, what a beautiful piece. I know how hard it will be for those who have school work to attend to but I believe that you guys will scale through somehow.
Your goals are SMART and I believe you will be able to achieve it if you want to. Truly the benefit of engagement can not be overemphasized and it's a good thing you know that already. Just do your best because that is what you need to win.
Good luck Ajumma!
Yes shuffling school and extra curricular activities is tricky. I should come up with something and give the necessary attention to both adequately.
Thank you for your kind words, I’ll put in all my effort and work towards achieving all my goals.
I appreciate you stopping by, have a nice weekend💗
Yes dear, you have to be strategic at this point to make you be the best at what you do.
You are always welcome dear, you too have a beautiful weekend 😊.
Having no goals here may lead you to nowhere so it's important to have one or more for us to keep on the line, a straight track towards our goals.
One of the factors that authors dealing with is the procrastination which is really bad when it's not given a solution. It will cause us a lot of unprogressive days for sure.
This is a concrete goals for you and I'm rooting for you that you can achieve all of them. Goodluck and keep pushing😊.
Aww thank you so much💗
The deadly effects of procrastination cannot be overemphasized. The number one killer of achieving goals! I’m making a conscious effort to work on it and I believe I’ll get better daily.
Thank you for stopping by🤗
Greetings @ajumaa 💕😊
It was really nice learning from your Hive Goals and it's also great you were able to identify the hindrance stopping you from achieving your goals. I suggest you overcome those obstacles and start working towards achieving your goals.. It's never too late to achieve your goals.
Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead 💕😊
Hi @hardaeborla💗, I really appreciate you stopping by!
It’s a conscious effort I’m making and I believe it will get better daily. I’m also optimistic that I’ll achieve all my goals.
Thank you for your kind words, have a great day too💗
Yes o! Thanks to our wonderful team leader Nkem is doing a good job.
I’m glad you also made it to the program, you’ll surely enjoy and learn a lot here.
I see you have your goals laid out well, remember to be consistent and determined!
Good luck!
Yes she is
Thank you so much, wish you all the best too
I've heard them say set goals but make sure they are achievable. I've had a look at your blog and honestly if things continue this way you will be able to achieve past your goal. One might look at your goals and say they are not too much but as you said already you are not goal oriented and I think these goals should do for now.
Good luck and chaw.
Yeah setting those goals even gave me a tough time to be honest, but I’m glad to have come up with a few things I know I can achieve, not limiting myself though.
Thank you for your best wishes🤗
I love how you broke everything down and made them clear. I'm motivated! 🤗. Thank you.
For the school activities, I think one thing that can help is using your free time in classes, maybe before a lecturer comes in or waiting back in school for a while, to write a bit before before going home.
Also, maximizing your weekends will be great. I hope your school activities doesn't slow you down at all 🥺.
Best wishes sis.
Usually I use my weekends to recover from all the stress during the weekdays😩.
I should be able to come up with something, also I’ll put all your suggestions into consideration
Thank you for stopping by and have a beautiful weekend💗
Oh... That's true
You're welcome ma'am
Amazing goal being set , I wish you good luck to achieve all of them
Wow, @ajumaa dear, I was super excited seeing your post yesterday. I was like yessssss, she made it after my wahala 😂😂
And here is a good calculated goal here. Worry not about someone giving you pressure to get something done about this particular task, lolz...just try and be checking discord, you will be seeing plenty updates and reminder to keep you motivated.
I am pretty sure you can achieve these goals even more than hopefully. With the school resumption, just try and set out timetable to accommodate your studies and give some time to your hive journey...
Good luck 👍
I know I’ve started stressing you out, I’m sorry, I’ll change😩
Yeah my notification is turned on for discord now so I don’t miss out on anything or be late. For school, I’ll definitely get a balance and give adequate time to both activities.
Thank you for being really patient🤗
My darling, there is nothing like stress here okay? It's just a simple reminder I did and it's not a stress my dear.
Glad your discord notification is turned on now, It will help you to stay informed on every move we are making.
I hope you get a good balance too 👍😊❤️🥰
Thank you so much💗
Admitting you're not goal-oriented must've been pretty difficult to do. But it's essential, as the first part of addressing a problem involves admitting there's a problem in the first place.
I understand the part school has to play in our activity here on Hive. It's mostly out of our control as students here on Hive, but we do our best. Let's just keep doing that. Our best.
Those are great goals, and you're going to need to put in a lot of work to realize them. Godspeed!
Absolutely! It was difficult fitting it into my post as I felt really bad about it. But then I realized everyone’s flawed and that’s mine so I’m accepting it with my small chest, working towards getting better😁.
Yeah school can drive you crazy sometimes but we’ll keep pushing.
Thank you for stopping by, wish you all the best too!
Haha. I’ll see you around.
