My "Rising Star" plan for 2023

over 2 years ago (Edited)

Greetings, everyone!

I was scrolling back in history and found my Rising Star status post from exactly one year ago:

My personal goal for Rising Star in 2022 was to reach the 90th position in the rankings. But this was a bad objective. The game increased in popularity and attracted new players that decided to invest good money into the game. I had little control over my objective. Already in the first few months of the year it became crystal clear that I will not be able to make it.

And this is a good lesson that can apply as well to any other personal goals: an ambitious objective without intermediate milestones and without a plan that has a chance to be successful is bad, and can even become demotivating over a long run.

Nevertheless, I manage to stay focused, and the continuous rewards coming with every mission played a big role in this. I continuously improve my stats and my rewards, and improved my score by a factor of four. Impressive!

My status at the end of the year:

Current Rank: 120
Unique Cards: 534, Total Cards: 3950, Total IM: 2700, Weekly Minutes: 5370
Total Score: 9263

Forward Looking:

My Rising Star personal goal for 2023 is to continuously grow my account in order to reach 18000 points. I will start with buying two times the twelve pack every week, as I did it for the last months, and I expect to be able to change to three times twelve pack per week somewhere in the second half of the year.
