This is a short sum-up table with the state of my goals in easier TLDR form. The table has only a general overview, with details expanded in the post.
| Current State/Other Selection Criterion | Goals Matching the Criterion |

| Ongoing | 5 (52-Week HBD Savings Challenge, Posting & Commenting Goal, Land Plots Unlocked, ZING Multiplier, LEO Staking) |
| Main Goals | 3 (52-Week HBD Savings Challenge, Posting & Commenting Goal, Land Plots Unlocked) |
| Goals | 2 (ZING Multiplier, LEO Staking) |
| Main Goals Completed | 0 |
| Completed Goals | 0 |
I include a link to the initial goal-setting post for 2024, for reference, if needed.
52-Week HBD Savings Challenge
A 52-week challenge following the popular model starts slowly and becomes increasingly more difficult with every passing week. The challenge is not at the beginning but at the end. That's why, we can use the easy start to prepare for the tougher weeks ahead.
In my case, I started with 1 HBD in week 1. This is also the step that increases the amount I need to save every week. The rule is, in my case: I need to add to savings the amount of HBD per week equal to the week number in the challenge. That means, in week 52 I'll need to save 52 HBD.
We are in the 10th week of the 52-week HBD challenge. That means I added 10 HBD to the savings for this particular goal, and reached 55 HBD, without counting the accrued interest.
Here's how things look right now:
Note: You can see there is already a small discrepancy at the totals between the spreadsheet and what is in the wallet. That is because of some approximations and easy calculations, mainly calculating and adding interest weekly instead of at every block or when it is calculated by the blockchain.
Another week when I managed to keep this challenge going without using any HBD reserves.
Posting & Commenting Goal
I haven't missed a daily post this year yet. Reached 1718 posts published, with 287 left to hit the target in 2024. That puts the progress at 18% where 17.31% was needed to be in the green.
Here's the situation so far:
I haven't missed any edition of Week through Adrian's Lenses in 2024 either, and I mention this since it's also part of my posting goal. Overall, I reached the 60th edition of the weekly roundup which debuted at the beginning of 2023.
I also started the week with 17,804 comments made. Ended the week with 17871, which means I made only 67 comments last week, again below the weekly average needed to reach the comments target by the end of the year. I'll still have a busy week, but maybe less than the one that ended. Let's see if I can boost these numbers a bit.
I currently need an average of 96 comments weekly to reach the comments target by the end of the year.
Land Plots Unlocked
Another significant progress in unlocking land plots this week, using freed-up DEC to help. I expect the progress will start to slow down because it's becoming difficult to find suitable replacement cards with a lower energy requirement than 10k.
Started the week with 50 plots unlocked and productive and 10 under construction. I currently have 53 productive plots and 11 under construction, again, 4 more than last week.
For the accounting part of this goal, I'll add plots under construction as unlocked, to better see changes from week to week, even though, technically, they are not productive until the clearing part is finished and you feed the workers.
Here's the current situation:
And a more detailed view:
Productive Plots: 53
Under Construction: 11
A few more worksites will be completed this week, which will increase the number of productive plots.
ZING Multiplier
I started the week with 22,840 ZING (I no longer have any ZING diesel pool position on this account).
My ZING holdings are now at 24,207, which continues a solid growth toward my short-term goal. Only 793 remaining to add until 25k.
Here's the current situation:
This goal should be completed by next week. I'll decide until then what next.
LEO Staked
My LEO stake grew to 23,100 LP, after the LeoAds revenue was distributed and I added 23 LEO more to have a round number. Otherwise, I'm waiting for LPUD.
Here's the current situation:
