Evaluating Goals - How It's Going So Far
It's only February and it feels like the year is far-gone already. I have serious anxiety about not reaching my goals for the year because it doesn't appear to be an amazing start for me relatively speaking.
So when exactly is the right time for evaluating your set goals? It's up to you really. You could do a monthly or quarterly check, think of it as a mental health check. You might have a long-term/yearly goal, but you have to run these checks in between to know your progress and to better understand how to reach these goals faster.
Let me begin with my hive goals. Well...this isn't doing so well and I can't exactly blame this on the bear market only because I haven't been active on hive for over a week. I could have been better but I just had to focus on other things and that meant lesser rewards on hive. At this rate, I'm not meeting my monthly rewards target on hive and leofinance.
This unintended break has taught me to prioritize hive amid other engagements. I felt really bad looking at my hive profile and every day of being absent felt like something was missing. Asides from the rewards part, being in this space is a form of therapy for me and I also get to learn a lot here.
Another goal for the year is budgeting/tracking expenses. I think I'm doing quite well keeping track despite slacking a little. I also adopted a minimalist no-buy month to span for six months and I've only flopped once.
I mentioned this is a year of learning and mastering skills and I started off quite well. I rounded up a course a few days ago and I'm delighted to be done with it. I was so happy and gingered that I wanted to immediately begin another course. Then, I took a step back to regroup and decided I was moving too fast.
I was in such a hurry that I forgot how draining the last days have been and how I couldn't juggle other activities, especially hive which is my main income source. I'm taking a learning break but it's not going to be for long.
The course facilitators encouraged us to begin our job search and I've been nervous about sending out applications. I feel like I'm not qualified enough from just a few weeks of learning and it's breeding a lot of self-doubts.
I know enough for a beginner, my CV looks good, LinkedIn keeps matching my profile to jobs, but still, I fear. My goal is to get a job this year and now that I've been able to buff up sellable skills that can land me jobs, I keep looking away when I see ads.
A confidence boost is highly needed and I hope to be bold enough to apply for and ace job interviews.
The financial part of my goals isn't doing well, but I get a good grade for not touching my savings or spending more than my budget so far. Overall, I'm not doing badly even when it initially seemed so, and I'm ready to improve on the areas where I'm lacking.
It indeed takes a process of experiences to get to one's goals, smooth or rough, they're all teachable experiences and these regular checks help in the overall strategy of achieving your goals.
Have you done a goal evaluation recently?

Let me just say I don't have goals, jobs self, I no apply. I just dey.
Congratulations though, you should send out those CVs
I want to 'just dey' too more than anything else but I figure I need to bridge the gap in my CV for future purposes.
Thank you! I'll get to it.

Sounds like you are in the same place I was. Took me getting away for a few days and refocusing. We set goals, we miss goals, and we hit other goal. It’s life. My thing is that I am constantly re-evaluating my goals to see if they still alight with the path that life is taking me on. It’s certainly one subject we have been focusing on here at HiveHustlers and one that is still always a work in progress.
Biggest thing, if you don’t hit a goal, don’t beat yourself up over it.
Keep up the hustle!
The break is very much needed from time to time, but I am glad you are back, you were missed☺️.
For me my goals are all over the place, dropping one and picking up another just because I am trying to meet up self proclaim deadlines.
Reminding Myself daily to take it one at a time but my head is too stubborn to hear.
I will keep pushing hopefully I find a balance to everything I hope to achieve.
You are doing better than me because I don't even remember my goals.
It's been such a weird couple of months.
You can always go back to your notes na
I eventually will, I just don't want to stress.
That one dey
Life is sometimes tiring.
Congrats on completing the course and specially on the step back to re-evaluate and give yourself some rest.
If you don't mind me asking, which course you finished and which ones you want to do next?
About the job interview, you can do it! If you don't believe in yourself, believe in me who believes in you! (Also, fake till you make it is real, and most places have unreasonable requirements that aren't possible/needed for applicants)
!1UP
Thank you 😁
It's a digital marketing course and it was loaded so there are several options to specialise in.
I have an interest in Data analytics, that's what I'm looking to learn next.
I'll do that. I don't have my confidence on lock but I'll try to fake a bold face.
Really interesting topic!
You can do it! I'm wishing you luck!
You have received a 1UP from @trashyomen!
