Setting a huge goal

Tonight and until the end of the school year, I'll be facing a tedious task that though I have taken before, will be much more tedious this time. By summer, I am getting a sweet pair of headphones by Audio Technica, which will at the end of all this currently, cost 11250 Swagbucks.
Ive lately been able to earn 100 SB daily (which personally I find to be a feat), and if I keep doing this all the way until the end of June, I'll have enough gift card cash to purchase it. Of course, this is if I could do it consistently and efficiently.
Have you ever set yourself a task like this? I think I'll be successful in doing this task, as swagbucks does have its daily goal, which in turn allows me to purchase more.

I have presented goals like this to myself, especially with internet programs like Swagbucks. But they usually fall to the wayside before completion. I usually decide it's not worth it, or the program seems to be working against my goal. I like SB though. I have cashed out with them many times. The goal you are setting is a big one, but I think you can do it... especially if you think it's worth it.

Last year I made 15K swagbucks, and that was mainly out of doing surveys. In my honest opinion, I don't think I'm ready to go back into that slime pit, though with the mobile apps and swagbucksTV, I'm not sure of which to turn to.
I'm currently more than half-way through last year's earnings, I'm just a bit disappointed for the inevitable setbacks for my high school education.
Nevertheless, I will fail with this attitude. Guess I should start as sson as I can, right?

I'm not meaning to be a downer but I don't think goals are worth making cause you can never live up to it. I mean it's not gonna be exactly what you wished from it but having said that if you helps you....then go for it. Anyone who is willing to put the time into something, deserves something good to come of it

In hindsight, I probably could get myself a job, but I don't think I'm willing to stress myself over having a job, then worrying over my education, and about the extracurricular that I already signed myself up for. Of course, this is something I'm openly wishing to get, and doing it half-assed is something I want to change for the better.

We have to be focus on achieving our goals. As with me, I set a goal to get payout here in mylot monthly but it never happen because I have a busy schedule. One thing to achieve our goal is that we must have discipline within ourselves and full determination in what we want in our future.

I never could understand how people could earn at least 10 bucks monthly on MyLot, but that's just me; It's hard to find things you can type up about, and when I have something interesting to me that I should share, typing is a breeze. Discipline will help. Thanks. :)

it is quite cheap and also the cost is within limits and you need to put consistent efforts to reach it all the way

Hi McCreeper!
Aiming for a high goal can be a good form of motivation for us to work even harder and to give more focus on our objective. Anyway even if we reach even half of it, still we can say that its worth a try.
Have a nice day!

Now that I think about how much I have to earn to achieve that goal, it seems inevitable that I will fail somewhere in the process. Of course, I don't want that to happen, but being able to earn over 10,000 swagbucks within six months just seems a bit out-of-place.. at least for me.
I have no idea how some are able to earn more than that other than referrals, but I guess they have a lot more ambition to earn the swagbucks than I do.

I always setting goal in my life. I never set a too huge goal, because I am not an ambitious person. It would be very disappointing for me if I set a huge goal, but fail after I preparing huge budget and efforts for the goal. My suggestion is, we can set a goal, but don't too ambitious. Good luck.

Yeah, I think I was being a bit too ambitious for my own discretion, though it's probably better to work things out in baby steps. I get nervous when I'm looking at such a huge number and how much time I'll actually have to devote to earn that amount, but as for earning 100 a day, it's a smaller bite to take, and I think it's enough.
I may very well however, simply need to earn more on some days than others to compensate for the days where I honestly won't have any time to earn anything.
