I try not to focus on a "number" anymore. It only creates a desire to go for crazy numbers.... Now understand I do not cut deep. Mine are more like 2" *tally marks* (although lately I have been doing phrases and artsy stuff)....

But I have done as many as (no joke) 5,000 in one day. Good luck sleeping comfortably those nights.
wow... I only do a couple of very shallow cuts on my fingers when I do it... I use numbers as gauges... If I know how much I've done, I can set a limit... I don't want wildly large amounts of them, so I'm using it as a challenge instead of a goal... While I did have a sickening desire to hit 100, I have an even stronger desire to never hit 101... Will it work that way? Probably not. But I would rather set limits than goals when it comes to this because even if I cross my limit, I can always restart. It keeps me from doing too much at once at least. Once I feel bad enough for crossing the limit, I stop...
