Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for July 2023?

With many MyLotters apparently on vacation, earning pennies here is harder than it was a couple of months ago. But MyLot die-hards have persevered, the site is still here, and I have already made payout for this month. I am proud of myself. I should pass $000X.0000 today, so I'll set $0000.Y000 as my totally arbitrary MyLot goal for July. If I have a couple of "banner days" over the next week, I could set my sites (sic) on an even more aggressive goal. But, as I have mentioned before, I don't like the song "I Believe I Can Fly." I can't fly. Unless I am in an aluminum or composite tube with someone else at the controls. Kind of scary. I like to set realistic, attainable goals. Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for July 2023? Do you agree with me that setting realistic (no, I can't fly) goals is important?

I'll make payout but certainly earnings have gone down here. But there are still plenty of nice folk to talk to.

@JudyEv I am glad that I am not the only one who noticed how much the earnings have gone down. Until there are nice people like you and Colin I will stay here.

I'm still trying to get one penny more than you on myLot. Sometimes you make that harder to do than I like. I hope you're enjoying your day, pony.

I don't make much on MyLot any more. But I'm going to keep plugging away for now.

@TheHorse I once responded to a daily routine discussion of Coral(TheSojourner). I should have talked about routine or food but in my half asleep state, I wrote meaningless stuff like Gym, Fitness and need to be fit etc ! I edited it later on ! Now I again need to be cautious against Mylot session when half asleep.

My earnings are about 50% down from before the "May 17 incident," (was it the 17th?), but I can still find "totally arbitrary" goals to try and attain.

I never set my mindset goals, and July was the first time in over a year that I had just achieved them.

I'm not quite at the goal I set for myself this month. I'm hoping that we still have enough time to add those pennies to the piggy bank this month. I'm happy you already reached payout for this month. You're right about the word "realistic" when setting goals

When people set goals that are too high, and fail to attain them, they can become frustrated and "give up."

I admit to missing feeling "confident," or even "cocky" that I could make payout in any given month. But it's still fun having "arbitrary" goals.

Would be great to get some mylot riches but all I want is to finally make it to payout. Perhaps that's still a possibility.

@TheHorse There was a time when I got to payout in one month. Now it seems two months or maybe three. It seems to help when there is back and forth interaction in real time. And it is more fun than just replying and waiting (for who knows how long) to get a response back.

I forget where in the US you live. I am forgetful. I am old. It's hot here too. I should check the high temperature. It felt like 99 F. But not 120 F.

Guess I am too late for this conversation. But I just visted mylot to actively comment and post about 20 months later. The last time I was here was the end of 2021. But I also noticed very few people are around here. Then DE told me it's the summer. I wish everyone comes back soon.So we can have our busy days back haha.
