Here's my table of progress for the week;

How Did The Week Go ?

I didn't really meet my goal of doubling my posting rate to see what that would do to my HP earnings, but still managed to post every day so I'm not going to beat myself up too badly.
I'm still consistently pulling in around 40-45 HP a week, which is only a little above half what I'll need to hit my goal. In order to do that, I'll need to find about 1300 HP from other sources across the year.
Although I haven't got the fiat to just buy that much (I still haven't been able to rebuild my savings after all the car expenses wiped me out !), there are a couple of ways I could work towards it;
  • If I use the liquid HIVE I've got, I could trade back and forth to generate some profit to put back into HP.
  • I could move the gains back from my alternative Hive trading account - that's ground to a halt because when the price dropped it meant I'd have had to do one transaction at a big loss and hope to build it back up from that lower point. Not that it's sitting on a huge amount of HIVE, but every little helps !
  • I might try listing a few things on eBay and use the cash generated to buy some liquid HIVE.
One other thing happened today - LEO Power Up Day. I did it this month, and my LPUD post is at https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@alonicus/its-lpud-march-2025-ay4
This Thursday coming up (the 20th) is BPUD, the power up day for BBHO tokens. I'll be there !
Other than that, I'm just hoping that the glitchiness I've been experiencing this last week or so sorts itself out. Is it just me, or have several front ends been a bit unreliable this week ?
Ecency in particular likes to switch to a blank screen when I try to upvote, which makes curation a lot more complicated ! I've realised I tend to use PeakD to post and Ecency to curate, because I like being able to mark notifications off as read, which Ecency does but I can't find a way to do in PeakD. Plus the "Favourites" feed in PeakD just throws me an error.....
But apart from that it's been a hectic but good week. I hope yours was good as well !
If you're not familiar with SaturdaySavers, it's a fabulous initiative run by @shanibeer writing as @shanibeer-saver on the @shanibeer-earner account, where we all support each other in getting to our savings goals.
If you are one of my friends reading this (or just someone who tripped over one of my posts), I really recommend this as a great community that's well worth joining.
I'm normally very disorganised about saving, and the support of the wonderful people in #SaturdaySavers has been invaluable in keeping me focused. I can honestly say that without it, my HP would probably be half what it is now.
So join ! You don't have to wait until the start of the year. The best time to start saving is ten years ago. The second best time is right now !
