Power Up March 2024 - Change of plans?

I had A Plan?
The plan failed.
Does that make me a failure?


The Plan

My plan was simple, increase HP with 250 monthly and two comments a day. That´s not so much to ask, right?

In 2023 I did a 3X on my HP taking me from 1000HP to 3000HP. This means I added 2000HP, and in 2024 I wanted to double that 3K hence adding another 3000HP.

If I could do 2K in a year, 3K should be doable I thought and I thought wrong.

The Struggle

I started this year with a pretty full tank, expecting to only have to use a little in the first couple of months. And then just like last year, after the first four months pretty much not having to rely on what is in the tank.

January and February were great if I look at the overall market, Hive did not really follow suit but even then I had to take a lot more out of the tank than I planned.

So something tells me that my plan ain´t working out as expected.
And what do you do when a plan is not working, indeed make a new plan or fall back on the old one.

The Old New Plan

The thing is that if I knew how to increase my HP monthly I would stick to the plan, but I published more than ever this month and I still struggled. So I am gonna default to the old plan, for now. Just a month or two to see if things pick up in the second quarter like they did last year. Allow some time to add some virtual gas to the tank.

I do notice that curating slowly begins to show on the balance sheet, but definitely not enough to fill the gap. Still, it´s beginning to add up, so if the stars align and I take my feet off the gas for just a while.

Last month I added almost 140HP to get to those 250HP, so slowing down would mean....ehhh 200HP.

Yeah let's go for that, I might be able to make up for that reduction in December just as I added an additional 200HP last year December.

Hence instead of 138 from the tank I only need 75!

That is doable!!!

My other Challenge also failed

Two comments a day how hard can it be.....right?
Well clearly harder than posting every day of the week and sometimes twice a day.
And replying to received comments does not count, I really want to comment on cool posts.

But where the other plan needs to slow down, this one is increasing its velocity.

So to balance my virtual life I will temporarily decrease my monthly power-up, and increase my comments that way I do not feel like a total failure.

How To Achieve That Crazy Plan

It will be tricky to keep posting daily.

My never-ending story is about to end and although I started drafting the second book, I know how much work three chapters a week is. And on top of that, I wonder if I should continue my #TTT weekly riddle now Ecency doesn't allow me anymore to boost the winner.

Solve The Riddle & Win 250 Ecency Points [#TTT Week13] - "M&M´s"

The 2-day promotion is more expensive in Ecency points, which does not matter but it is less attractive as well

Not too sure if people still like that enough to join in the fun and riddle my riddles.

So all hope is at making it big with My Sunday School Sessions, this last one was so awesome, but again could do with some more engagement. But really good things often remain hidden for quite a while I guess

My Musical Sunday School Sessions - Hail Mary The Harlot

Those stories have been such a discovery of secret writings, ancient knowledge, and music that I hope to do a few more before the divine inspiration runs out.

But when it runs out I gladly pick up my Spread The Vibes posts on a lazy Sunday morning.

I should be able to keep at least 6 posts a week going for another year, unless life happens of course.


Anyway Happy POWER UP DAY Y´ALL

Not although ! Is only when you see yourself as a loser, only when you start losing faith in your strengths and abilities, when you stop focusing, then , that is when you become a failure.
So you shouldn't stop believing in yourself!

Sometimes we need to adjust. It's better to fall a little short and be able to collect yourself than to just give up like some people do. I think you will get there!

I sure will although I hate to adjust, it needs to remain feasible and fun.

The good thing is that you were able to adjust and come up with a new plan. It is usually better than failing or having no back up plan at all
Happy Power Up Day
