Today is my 38th day on Steem and this is the second of a series of progress logs I am maintaining about my goals and journey on the Steem platform.
Inspiration
The idea and credit for this post and planned series goes to 
I have been following his journey log towards 100000 Steem Power for the last few weeks. Please visit his profile to know more about his journey.
Approach
My approach is to break down my Steem journey into smaller steps with goals which do not look too far away. I think there's no right or wrong way of doing this, it's just how you approach things and how you function as an individual - what motivates you and how self-motivation works for you.
I will have visible goals and I think it will be easier for me to track progress and motivate myself to achieve those goals if I am able to see the finishing line up ahead not too far away.
It will, however, be a changing goalpost and as soon as I reach a goal I will set an even loftier goal and work towards it.
Current Goals
✦ Total Steem Power: 1000
✦ Owned Steem Power: 500
✦ Leased Steem Power: 500
✦ Followers: 500
✦ Reputation: 60
Progress Report
What I have done since my last progress report
✦ I started my Steemit journey with a broken arm, so it put a brake initially but now I am slowly getting up to speed
✦ I participated in the community by reading and commenting on posts of authors I like and follow
✦ I joined Zappl, the Twitter like platform built on top of the Steem blockchain. Zappl is targeting the micro-blogging community. I thought about it and decided I will not ignore it as I did with Twitter. I will use it not so much for writing articles but for sharing interesting finds from the internet - interesting stories, articles, videos, websites; anything that catches my eye
Here is my Zappl profile, please go check it out (it only has two Zaps now :D):

✦ Update on my Ramblings on Life Series: I published three articles in this series
Ramblings on Life #2 Do you get paid what you deserve?
Ramblings on Life #3 Increase your worth in four steps
Ramblings on Life #4 Payback with interest
✦ I now have my very own Crypto Empire 'citizen' banner. Thank you 
Log Frequency
I post regular updates on my progress and what I did to reach my goals.
However, I don't necessarily post a daily update due to
(a) lack of time and
(b) lack of reportable update.
Thanks for reading, let me know what you think about my journey log! See you next time!
