November - keeping on track...

80 This is it! I've made it! With this post, I've reached my monthly target of 20 discussions!

I only have one more month of December to reach another 20 discussions completing my overall goal of 100 discussions by the end of the year that I set when I first returned to the site back on the first week of August!

I actually set another goal for the end of the year but it doesn't look like I'll be able to reach it. I was targeting to have my activity rating hitting 10000 by end of 2015. When I set that few months back, I calculated that I must have about 8500 by now. As can be seen, I'm far from that number. Oh well!

I think you're doing really well. Setting goals is a good way of achieving just that little bit more.

Thanks! If I reach my 100 discussions by end of year, that will mean I've done it more than twice as fast compared to when I was on the old myLot.

@sishy7 Surely that means you are twice as good!

I just came back to myLot mid of this month. I haven't been keeping track of anything. I just enjoy dropping by here and there to read discussions and respond. You have it all planned out on your goal. Congrats!

Thank you! You've read my wardrobe discussion so I'm sure you're familiar with my tendency to organize things way too much sometimes...

@sishy7 Yes! I hope to get organized a little. You need to rub your organization skills on me. Hehe

Assuming that you returned here in September, it would require around 100 activities per day to reach 10000 by the year's end.

I returned in the beginning of August and by end of August I noticed my activity rating was around 4000 (combination of what was forwarded from old myLot plus August's activities). I understood then that it increased a lot faster than the old myLot and I challenged myself to do 1500 a month from September to December making it 10000 by year's end. I figured that would only require around 50 activities per day and I even divided them into my morning and night sessions with seemingly attainable 25 activities each. But nooo... I couldn't even do that and I blame it on my bad habit of reading too much while I'm on here...

I am not sure that I will write 100 discussions by the end of the year, but I already reached the 10000 activity rating, I am well over 13000

I notice that and I think that's simply amazing! Doing 100 activities a day seems to be a piece of cake for you and other members whom I see are doing it too. Well done!

You did it!

It pays to set those goals and actually reach them. I didn't make any goals - ha ha, you know me - but I'm pretty content being back here knowing our online family is here and we have a trusted place to call home again. Now about NEXT year's goals . . .

Yeah, I gave myself a lot of leeway when I set the target. I'm sure I'll come up with another target for next year too. It may not be the same as it is, but there will be some kind of goals, I'm sure...

@sishy7 I do not go overboard with posting. My issue is the time zone. I have seen users with many posts getting good responses. One must accept this scenario and move on. Just for interest sake, how do you track my posts?

Each of my discussion got their share of responses. Maybe there's an advantage of not posting too many discussions. Those who are checking us out will only have limited discussions to choose from and they will have a higher chance to be responded...

And why were you trying to reach this goal? On Bubbs I averaged about one post every week, roughly. My average here is just over one post each month. I'm guessing you are trying to earn a certain amount each day? week? or month? above and beyond the $10 payout? Sorry, hon, I just don't understand this.

And I thought you'd know me by now... No, it's never about earning for me. Trust me, I would have quit a long time ago out of major frustration if I base my activities with what I earn on here. And there's no spectacular reason either why I'm doing this. It's probably because of my obsession for things to be systematic. I like to have a guideline for what I'm doing. Others will probably see it as unnecessary, I'm sure, but somehow I always find myself coming up with guidelines to follow or targets to reach in just about anything. I don't know, maybe I feel 'lost' without that or something.

Good for you! Just a little information for you, the term used for this site is 'Discussions'. I'm sure those are what you're referring to when you said you are making a list. 'Posts' on here are everything that we post - they include discussions, responses, and comments. As of now you have 693 'posts'.

@ridingbet Not like it's violating any rules if you call them 'articles'... Just that myLot is distinct from other similar sites in which it is supposed to be a discussion forum where members post 'discussions'.

@sishy7 I set goals for myself all the time that is why i feel that way. I have been doing it for years and when I don't make the goals it's just means I didn't set the right goal.
