I do set a goal: two dollars a day, which is completely ridiculous because I haven’t earned that little since I started here.

For example, there are ten earning days left in this month. Right now, I have $250 earned. So my goal for the month is $270.

I’ll probably do much better, of course, but that is my goal, so exceeding it will make me happy. Then I’ll start November with a goal of $60.

Silly? Maybe, but it works for my psyche.
