NEWBIES TASK 1 •//• MY HIVE GOALS FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS.

I'm very glad I joined the newbie initiative program, it is a nice program initiated by @starstrings01, even before the program started it has taught me some things like; getting used to Discord and understanding it, meeting amazing people. The first task of this initiative is to set our hive goal for the next three months.

For this task, we were asked to pick a partner to share our ideas and thoughts with and also to discuss our goals on hive. My partner for this task is @ginika.

@ginika is a person who is very passionate about her growth on hive, it was so nice having a discussion with her because she was really open and enthusiastic.

MY PARTNER CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR DISCUSSION

---

There were a lot of contributions that she made, Ginika talked about how powering up has an effect in increasing HP, she talked about how she powered up last month which was her second time powering up, and she also explained in detail how she did it. Another thing she mentioned is how Dreemport helped Increase your engagement on Hive because each day on Dreemport you will have to curate 5posts. She also explained to me how dreemport works.

We talked about our goals for the next three months and Ginika contributed on how consistency is one of the keys needed when dealing with goals. She said one of her goals that she has been trying to keep up with is posting a post a day and I commended her on that. We talked a lot about other goals like building our HP, reputation, and savings.

@Ginika also spoke of how she explores other communities.

MY CONTRIBUTION

---

I also explained to her how I want to achieve my goals with consistency and hard work. I explained how savings are important, and how I have been trying to save HBD. I also shared my opinion on how engagements play a big role on hive. I didn’t hesitate to tell her about my growth on Hive and how far I have gone on Dreemport.

I also contributed to, how looking at others who are big on Hive is a motivation to do better in order to grow on Hive and be willing to interact and ask questions.

ABOUT THE MEETING

---

We had a meeting about goal setting on the 1 Oct, 2023. I love the fact that the meeting was on the 1st because it was like a driving force to start the month. This meeting was held by @startstrings01 who was a very good speaker.

The main aim of the meeting was about setting your goals and not just setting them but setting them rightly. It is one thing to have a goal and it is another thing to be able to achieve goals, there are a lot of times when I have set goals and haven’t achieved them. Setting a goal is very easy but achieving the goals is quite difficult, achieving the goals is important but the system to achieve them is more important.

This meeting focused on many aspects of goals and why most people don’t achieve their goals, I learnt that it is important to set your goals in a S.M.A.R.T way.. in which S-specific, M-measurable, A-attainable, R-relevant, T-time bound.

@starstrings01 talked about how goals can be achieved and how procrastination can be overcome by setting deadlines for certain projects. He also spoke of how writing your goals down on paper and not just on your phone can help and motivate you to work towards your goal.

I was quite surprised when he mentioned how writing your goal every morning is important, I almost misunderstood what he meant by that as I interpreted it as writing your to-do list but he clarified it by saying writing down your goals in general ( your long time goals) every morning can be helpful as he reminds you of it every day. He further explained that writing these goals every day can even be different from what you initially wrote yesterday.

My big take from this meeting is actually not one thing but two things. Is the fact of planning your goals SMART, I have never really heard of it before. Also, he mentioned how we must be hungry to achieve our goals.

I learned a lot at this meeting, like how the system you want to use to achieve these goals is crucial, after all the talks and knowledge he shared with us, he gave time for people to ask questions and add any contributions.

MY HIVE GOALS FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS

---

I didn’t hesitate to write my goals on paper the next day and paste it on my room wall. I wrote these goals on 2nd Oct, 2023 and little things have changed. I want to plan a very achievable goal and I might exceed most of the goals.

---

GROWING MY HP

---

For the next three months, I am willing to strive to build my HP to at least 500HP, my current HP is actually - 358.639HP. I have broken down this goal by writing down how to achieve it. HP is quite important in many aspects like curating quality posts.

How will I achieve this?

• By getting at least 12.5 HP a week
  • Writing at least 6 posts a week,
  • By engagement and curating

---

GETTING 100+ FOLLOWERS

---

This is quite unpredictable because it mostly depends on others. My current followers now - 91

How will I achieve this?

• By getting at least 3+ followers in a month
  • By engagement and interaction
  • By exploring other communities

---

TO SAVE 100HBD+ IN THE NEXT 3MONTH

---

Saving is quite important, and it has been part of me since when I was little. I know I can get this with consistency. My current savings - 75HBD

How will I achieve this?

• By saving at least 2.5 HBD a week
  • By posting regularly and engaging
  • By posting in the right communities where you can get curated
  • By making quality posts.

---

TO GET 25HIVE

---

Apart from converting your HBD to HIVE, I also want to get Hive. So, I can also power up monthly. My current hive - 4.5

How will I achieve this?

• By getting at least 7 Hive in a month
  • By participating in contests that gives prizes like Hive.

---

TO REACH AT LEAST 65 REPUTATIONS.

---

I know it is not really easy you build a reputation but again with hard work anything is possible. My current goal -63.1

How will I achieve this?

• By adding at least 0.7 to the reputation in a month
  • By engaging well and interacting.

---

TO MAKE 3000+ POST

---

It is a good thing to engage as it comes with a lot of benefits, I have been lagging in this and I hope I do better in the next three months. My current post is 1343

How will I achieve this?

• Make 575 posts and comments in a month
  • Engage on at least 20 posts a day
  • Make use of Dreemport

---

TO GET DREEM TOKENS & PARTICIPATE IN THE TREASURE HUNT

---

I have always been curious about dreemport as I don’t really understand the full concept of it, but thanks to @deraa @hopestylist who are always there when I don’t understand, and of course @ginika who also explained more on our discussion.

I joined dreemport last month and now I have gotten used to it. My current dreem token is - 6.054 tokens

How will I achieve this?

• Post at least 10+ on dreemport
  • By posting 3 posts in a week
  • Engaging on X
  • Watching out for important notice or bounty

---

TO POST EVERY DAY (AT LEAST 6 POST A WEEK)

---

This is a very tough challenge for me as I have had this goal on my mind for a very long time, but I do hope I achieve this. I said 6 posts because I’d love to give myself a rest or emergency space, but it always means I can post more than 6 posts.

How will I achieve this?

• By trying to be consistent
  • Finding contest or prompt that you can relate with
  • Just brainstorm, draft, and let the magic happen.

Lastly,,,

TO EXPLORE OTHER COMMUNITIES AND BUILD CONNECTIONS

---

Ginika made mention of other communities and I would love to explore them, I have never really explored much community and I love to change that. How will achieve this? by posting in those communities

For this three months, I will be very open to learning and engaging. I hope I do achieve these goals
