Progress and Strategies in SaturdaySavers Club Week 3

in FreeCompliments4 days ago

Hello, how's it going, everyone? How was your weekend?
If you’ve been active on HIVE over the past month, you’ve probably experienced a bit of “drama” this week, right? Yup, the price of HIVE dropped drastically to $0.47 USD! 😅 On one hand, this dip is a bit unsettling, but on the other hand, it’s a golden opportunity to speed up your power-up since the HP rewards from posts are now more generous. So, no need to feel down!

Speaking of progress, this week I want to share my journey toward two main goals for this year: 7500 HP and 25,000 SPS. This journey has been fueled by motivation from incredible communities like #SaturdaySavers, which help me stay focused. Now, let’s take a look at what I’ve accomplished and the lessons I’ve learned!


1. Main Goal: 7500 HP

At the start of the year, when I took on this challenge, my HP stood at 3679 HP. Last week, I managed to reach 3715 HP, gaining 31 HP in one week. But this week, I truly surprised myself! As of writing this post, my current position is at 3757 HP, meaning a 42 HP increase this week.

What made the difference this week?

  • I wrote several posts related to #arcadecolony and a new game called Moon Karts, which earned me rewards that contributed to this achievement.
  • I focused more on writing relevant articles that caught the attention of the communities I’m engaged in.

Although the progress still falls short of my ideal weekly target of 76 HP, I’m getting closer. This month, I’ll be reevaluating my strategy to improve efficiency.


2. Second Goal: 25,000 SPS

For my SPS goal, I aim to accumulate 180 SPS per week. Last week, my staking stood at 16,109 SPS, and now it’s up to 16,253 SPS. That’s an increase of 140 SPS, almost hitting my weekly target! Close, but there’s still room for improvement next week.

Steps I’m taking for next week:

  • Taking advantage of the lower SPS price to buy a little extra from the market.
  • Rewarding battles in Splinterlands have also been a significant source of additional SPS.
  • Earnings from brawls also contribute to growing my SPS stash.

Challenges and Lessons This Week

The biggest challenge this week has been maintaining consistency. It can be tough to stay focused when token prices drop, and the temptation to panic sell arises. But this is where the most important lesson lies: patience is key. Prices may fluctuate, but long-term goals remain the compass.

Communities like #SaturdaySavers have been instrumental in keeping me optimistic. Seeing others’ progress motivates me to stay persistent and continuously refine my strategy.

Beyond these two main goals, I’m also planning to strengthen my presence in the Hive community by creating more informative and valuable content. The long-term objective? It’s not just about numbers but also about building meaningful relationships within the community.

keep saving!

Yup, I’ll make sure my HP (Hive Power, not my phone!) keeps growing. Thanks for the motivational boost!

Looking like things are going in the right direction, what do you think to moon karts? not played it yet but wondered how it was looking.

!BBH

Thank you for the support! Moonkarts is a fresh new game with a different vibe compared to Splinterlands, which I often play. But hey, it’s worth exploring—you might discover something fun!

!SLOTH and steady wins the race, it seems you made a fairly nice jump towards your goals this week. Consistency seems to be the number one hindrance but we just need to take each day as it comes and try to make the most of our time. Keep on buzzing and you'll be at your target before you know it!

Thanks for the support! Slow and steady, just like a sloth—chill but focused. This week, I made a pretty solid leap forward. I’ll also give the #slothbuzz tag a try in my other posts!
