Never Did I Write So Much & Power-Up So Little

(Edited)

Can you imagine, I posted almost daily this last month? Not to boast I am just sticking to my standard music posts, on top of those I am writing an unbelievable true story (three chapters a week) and then there is the occasional ad-hoc post.

And I only Power up 11.111 HIVE!

You must be wondering whywhy that is the case, and if not you better start wondering now while I start counting.

1, 2, 3

Last Month

That was last month, in my first two years on Hive I obtained 1000HP and I said I am going to 2.5 X that this year meaning I need to reach 2500 HP by 31st Dec 2023.

That means I need an increase of 125HP monthly, but as not all months are equally productive I aim to add 150HP monthly. For one reason only, I want that my vote matters. That you actually feel my vote, not like the fist of a whale vote, but at least as the wings of a butterfly brushing your cheeks.

Did I reach that 150HP, hell yeah!

And there is something set aside just in case February is too short for adding another 150HP.

Now I am personally not a fan goals or posting about my Hive goals. But I guess some enthusiasm of those who do, rubbed off on me.

But this is a nice little challenge that I can follow up on once a month.

Me Challenging Myself

The other challenge I set for myself this year is to engage even more. I made a nice bit of progress last year, but I appreciate any tips on how you have increased your engagement with different communities.

Happy PUD Y´ALL

I'm with you on the whole goals thing. I don't mind throwing them out there once or twice, but I don't like the dwell on them. It just makes it more disappointing when I don't hit them. Plus on the blockchain there are so many unknowns. You just can't count on anything. It's better for your mental health I think!

Indeed fully agree those 2-3 shreds of mental health I am clinging onto can not be risked🤪

I'm with you there, Winter is always rough over here. Not enough vitamin D, we all get a bit of the seasonal affect disorder!

It's seems you've got it all figured out and that's a basic step to success. Honestly, if you didn't have this calculation up your sleeves, it would be harder to achieve 'em goals✨

I'm impressed at your tech savvy and financial acumen!
You seem well informed, and I should be asking YOU,
any tips on how you have increased your engagement with different communities?

This is my method (and no, I'm not going places fast):

Read other people's posts.
Upvote.
Comment.

It will take more than that.
Find someone with power.
Engage with that person.
Hope/wish/pray you get a response.

Pay attention to what whales are doing.
Some are up to no good. Some keep downvoting minnows and little people.
In communities, teamwork is great, but some teams are led by despots.

It's all LIVE AND LEARN, and get up again, and decide whether to keep up or give up.

I've been at Steemit since 2017 and Hive for a few years now.
Here's a tip: try not to fall off the face of the earth.

Yup those are my steps as well and I try to discover new communities as well. When Listnerds started getting traction last year I had something that made me engage but as it is pretty dead atm I need to kick my own butt to engage more.

The chasing whales is something I have heard before, but even though I like the chase I don't enjoy chasing whales. If it happens organically great, I had the luck to meet some kind ones while riding the HIVE wave, but I know what you mean fortunately I only saw the despots from a distance.

Pay attention to what whales are doing.

What do you mean by "Whale Watching"😂

I have no really good tips, although I like the spread the vibes initiative in the Q-inspired community, its writing a post about a trigger you encountered in another sort of musical post.

Other than that I am horrible, I spend way too much time writing and diving into stuff to engage as much as I would like. But if I engage I do give it my best, not a 3-word comment
