^{This post was made as entry for Ladies of Hive Contest #223}
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I want to expand my horizon in Hive so I will be joining more contests and post more random things than just Splinterlands.

Now that I have more time and not too busy with school since we just finished finals, the only task I have are some projects that I would be doing from time to time.

With the exams out of the way, I can now explore other things I wanted to do these past few months and one of them is looking around Hive and its communities.

I saw Ladies of Hive this week and a question from them was interesting.

1. Have you written up a Will and filed it, protecting your spouse and children? Take control of your estate, assets, or worldly possessions — make sure you leave behind to those you wish it to go to!

Chasing perfection is not progress. When opportunity allows watching young women perform on sports fields around the world, it is progress in performance, learning strategy, working together that's important. This brought me to consider how often as women we enjoy perfection and lose sight of progress required.

2. Successful women understand that perfection isn’t the goal — progress is. What steps are you personally taking to progress in 2025? Describe the situation, reasoning, and how you intend to set plans into motion.

Here is my answer...

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In 2025, outside of classes, I will be focusing on growing both my Hive and Splinterlands accounts to become more successful. I plan to save a portion of my earnings to power up my Hive account and reinvest the other part into my Splinterlands account. This will allow me to build influence and long term savings in both platforms.

One of the main challenges I face is time management as I have other obligations that limit my ability to post regularly. To address this, I will make it a point to post at least once every two days. Whether it's a contest post or something random, I will at least one post every two days and upvote and comment on other's posts. Consistency is key to progress, even if the posts will be simple.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

To stay on track, I already bought a cute BINI calendar for 2025 that I'll use to keep my schedule in check and ensure I stick to my plan. With this system in place, I’m motivated to work toward my future savings goals by making sure I stay engaged and committed in this platform.
