Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for December 2019?

This will be one of my worst ever months on MyLot if you define "best " and "worst" in terms of money earned. But I've enjoyed some good conversations, been verbally assaulted by two of my favorite MyLotters, enjoyed a MyLotter's wedding (from a distance), and in general had a good time. I am setting for myself a MyLot goal that is conservative by my usual standards, but aggressive based on what I've earned thus far. How low will I stoop to achieve my goal? Will I write endless "What did you have for dinner?" posts? Will I think up catchy titles for mundane posts? Will I make up stories of alien abduction? I am not sure. Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for December 2019? Are your earnings down a bit, or am I becoming a slacker? Inquiring minds want to know.

What was the weather like when the aliens abducted you from what was that you were having for breakfast?

Important questions. I was having Rice Chex, in hopes of becoming a cereal poster before the New Year. The weather was partly cloudy, with light rain and mysterious orbs.

This is not my best month, but it's about my average. I should write something to top my best month.

You're one of those MyLotters who does a good job of writing interesting comments (even if you, Vanny and Maluse do pick on me).

I haven't earned as much as I might have liked, but it's the end of the world. There's always next month, when I can try again. Hopefully things go better for you.

Mine are down a bit. It seems if I don't post a discussion at least every day, they go down. I know it's not supposed to work that way but that's been my experience.

@porwest I can miss posting a discussion yet still seem to have lots of activity on other posts but the earnings still go right down. Very odd.

That IS the funny thing about this site @JudyEv. You are not paid for the discussions, you are paid for the responses. But if you don't write the discussion, you won't have as many responses. Not sure if responses on other's posts pay the same as they do on our own discussions. The way we get paid is often times confusing to me. But I like it that way. Makes it harder for people to game the system.

Mine are low but i have been a major slacker on here. The past few months for me have been really busy so I haven't been able to get on as much. My only goal is to try to get on once a week again so i can keep up with people I enjoy on here

@BarBaraPrz Grazing counts as eating. Or you could do a post about Martin Seligman's theory of leaned helplessness. I bet that would be a real winner.

Mine are up this month, but I was pretty active this month, and next month I intend to be quite a bit MORE active. So, my goal is lofty this time around. Sorry to hear you didn't do so well. It seemed like you were around quite a bit, so it sort of surprises me. Either way, onward and upward. Hope I was not one of the ones who verbally assaulted you. Looking forward to whatever you might want to 'discuss.'

No goals set. I used to be here to challenge myself but I was left feeling more than dissatisfied with my earnings. I left mylot for a while and came back with the goal to have fun and earn a bit while I'm at it.

Some of the dinner posts and what are your plans today seem to go over well. Less is more it seems here. No goals here just taking it day by day. My earnings are actually up from last month.

I hope you make your arbitrary goal. I will only if a miracle happens. It's the same goal every month. I didn't make it last month, but looking at my bank, I already made more than last month, so there's a chance I'll make it. An outside chance.

@TheHorse If there are it's college. Tomorrow is the last game of the season. The playoffs will start next week. If we retain our standings, we'll both have a bye next week. It's not really sport. I don't know how it happened, but I'm glad it did. I have two small bills that come out of my PayPal every month. So, I need to cover that. I've done so. I like to have a little cushion to work with too. Right now, it's not much of a cushion.
