1.) I always set medium-earnings goals because it's easy to communicate—humans focus on outcome, not input.

2.) But in the backend, I'm not focused on the earnings—instead, I focus on how to identify my mistakes and find ways to improve the process, as you mentioned.

3.) 80% of my drafts end up in the trash. only 20% get published. Even though I select only 20% of my drafts for publishing, 32% of them are penny articles.
