Same! I like your goal, too. I might adopt it but if I do, something's gotta change! Last year I did not teach my goal of being at 2k by new years. Wow, were are actually very close in terms of hive power! Good luck!
I reached my goal of 1.5k by shuffling around some stuff on Hive-Engine and using these hive to power up.
I had a big boost of my blogging rewards at the beginning of this year because of extra spare time. This slowed down significantly since the beginning of February, so will re-evaluate halfway this year.
Though 3k HP at the end of the year is my absolute minimum, I would rather adjust my target to 3.5K HP (or maybe even 4k if I find some extra time)
