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 11th week of the 52-week HBD challenge. That means I added 11 HBD to the savings for this particular goal, and reached 66 HBD, without counting the accrued interest.

Here's how things look right now:

Note: You can see there is already a small discrepancy at 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.

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

Posting & Commenting Goal

I haven't missed a daily post this year yet. Reached 1725 posts published, with 280 left to hit the target in 2024. That puts the progress at 20% where 19.23% 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 61st edition of the weekly roundup which debuted at the beginning of 2023.

I also started the week with 17,871 comments made. Ended the week with 17925, which means I made only 54 comments last week, again below the weekly average needed to reach the comments target by the end of the year. Almost 2% below the green threshold. Things are getting serious, I need to push some comments. I'll have a less busy week and maybe this is a good time to come from behind.

I currently need an average of 97 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 freed-up DEC to help.

Started the week with 53 plots unlocked and productive and 11 under construction. I currently have 56 productive plots and 12 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: 56
Under Construction: 12

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

ZING Multiplier - Completed

I started the week with 24,207 ZING.

My ZING holdings are now at 25,203 and my 25k goal is now completed (during week 10, for future reference).

Here's the final situation:

My decisions going forward are the following:

  • I undelegated my HP to Holozing since the APR is low and my initial goal has been achieved
  • I don't want to increase the target for this goal right now, but I keep my ZING staked and whatever gets added is fine
  • I'm waiting for sales and gameplay to see if I will create another Holozing goal based on them

LEO Staked

My LEO stake remains at 23,100 LP, and I'm waiting for LPUD which will be this week.

Here's the current situation:

The discrepancies can happen but having more interest compared to what you have on the sheet is good enough. In my opinion, it's hard to get it exactly unless you add HBD at the same time every single week.

I don't think they can be matched exactly. Normally, interest on HBD in savings accrues with every block, even if it's paid only when movements to or out of savings happen. You can't simulate that with a weekly progress sheet without some discrepancies.

I really admire your consistency. You have been going for close to 52 weeks at stretch without not missing anyday

If you refer to posting, I missed a few days during the winter holidays. And probably I will miss more. I don't like to post when I am on vacation.

Congratulations on achieving your ZING goal, Adrian! It's impressive to see your progress on various fronts like the 52-Week HBD Savings Challenge and unlocking land plots.

Your dedication to posting and commenting is inspiring, and I'm sure you'll reach your targets with that same determination. Looking forward to following your journey ahead

Thank you! From what I see I have 2 goals that may pose some problems: the posting/commenting goal, and the 52-week challenge in the second part of the year. But it's likely I will set new goals as I achieve the ones already set (or increase the targets for the ones already set). Thanks for dropping by!

I also like this project very much and we have also seen that people have supported this project a lot. Congratulations you have achieved success.

Thanks! Yep, updates on Holozing started to become less frequent. I'm hoping they are still somewhat on schedule.

Yeah. Most welcome dear.

It’s been a while since I checked my $Zing but I’m very sure that I have accumulated more
Thanks for the reminder

Hmm, you should check more often. I check(ed) multiple times daily. The more often you check and claim the more it compounds.

This is really great to see you are still consistent with you goals no matter what. Keep it up

That's what goals are for... To follow them consistently until they are achieved.
