0.000 HBDProgress Update - Steps Forward but Three Back
 This week was the first week that I have ever notice my HiveBuzz Hive Power Ranking falling. I fell three positions in the ranking. So even though I am making progress in growing my account, I am not keeping up. Others are growing their account faster. I did notice a few names on the list that I passed which means that even more than three people passed me in the rankings this week. This just shows the importance of being active on a consistent basis. Just think how many ranked positions I would have fallen if I had not been growing my account and active on a daily basis. ## Hive Target My account growth is slow but I have been consistent over the past month so getting back into the habit of creating content on a daily basis. However I did miss two last this past week. The earnings from those two days will make my next week earnings a little lower than the past few weeks. Growing my account is very important. My weekly reports help me see how my account has grown from the activity that I expended. My goal is to reach 5000 Hive Power. My current Hive balance is 2,608. Up 14 Hive Power from last week.  ## Hive Power Ranking To help me see how my hive account is growing relative to others on the Hive Platform, I track my Hive Power Ranking. Last week, I was ranked 3518 and this week my relative Hive Power ranking has moved down to 3521. An decrease of 3 positions for the week. Even though I grew my account by 14 Hive, my relative strength to other Hive Users got weaker. This was a surprise to me as I have never fallen position when I have been consistently active. I also noticed that as I go higher in the ranking the balances of Hive Power are not as bunched together so moving up positions will take a longer amount of time. So it will probably be more and more difficult to more up position in relative Hive Power compared to others. Even though I have a long way to go, this is very good progress (growing my account). I am trying to continue to keep my activity consistent on a daily basis so that I am always moving forward instead of falling back or sitting still.  ## HBD Savings Ranking Another metric that I track is my relative rank to others on the Hive Platform in HBD Savings. HBD saving is an easy way to get a return of 20% APR. This is one of the passive income streams that I hope to strength over time. I do not have very much in HBD savings only 44 HBD but by reviewing it on a weekly basis, will encourage me to add to my savings more over time. I added 1 HBD this week plus claimed my interest to help with commitment to saving. The Interest earned so far this month is 0.125 HBD. I am hoping to get this up to 1 HBD per month.  Currently, my relative HBD Savings ranking is 2228 compared to 2280 last week. That is a large jump from just adding 1 HBD and a little over 0.6 HBD interest. I would like to add a whole lot more to my saving of HBD to receive the 20% APR. But I will need to add it at a very slow pace since this will also slow down my adding to my Hive Power.  ## Hive Received Rewards This past week, I created content every day so was able to grow my account steadily over the week. However my Author Rewards dropped to 20.52 HP ($6.13) with Curation Rewards of 3.61 HP ($1.08) as compared to last weeks amounts of 12.38 HP ($4.32) with Curation Rewards of 3.02 HP ($1.05). I was very surprised to see my weekly Author rewards jump so. Especially since I lost ranking. this is opposite of what I thought would have happened.  In reviewing the 30 Day chart, it shows my Author Rewards were 74.89 HP ($22.38) with Curation Rewards of 14.72 HP ($4.40) as compared to 71.54 HP ($24.95) with Curation Rewards of 14.44 HP ($5.04) last week's 30 day amounts. This is a slight increase from last week's prior 30 day stats. I am receiving 0.75 HBD interest for the past 30 days. My goal is to reach 1 HBD per month so I amount about 3/4 of the way there. Adding the 1 HBD to savings each week is helping increase the interest on a weekly basis.  ## Curation APR I did not change anything this past week that I realize in my curation activity but my Curation APR jumped to 7.06% from 5.95% last week. I am very glad this occurred however if I do not understand how or why this happened, there is no way to repeat it or prevent it from falling back down again. I want to get my curation APR back up to the range that I target (8%-10%) without impacting my voting on replies and comments.  ## Hive Engine Tokens I am receiving 6.57 Hive ($1.97) compared to 6 Hive ($2.09) last week over the past 7 days in Hive Engine Tokens from content creation and curation. Over the past 30 days, I have received 26.12 Hive ($7.81) compared to 27.73 Hive ($9.67) for both author and curation rewards last week for the past 30 days.  My top Hive Engine Token holdings over $10 in value are AlIVE, CTP, INDEX, LEO, ALIVEM, POB, BRO and WAIV. This is the first week in a while that WAIV balance has exceeded $10 in my holdings. My other holdings are closer to $5 or much below. I would like all of my holdings to at least exceed $10 per holding but you know $100 per holding would be much, much better.
