July is already here, and with its arrival, it’s also the second half of 2025. We are also in the first full month of summer, which means plenty of time spent inside hiding from the heat. As with all months, it’s time to share my monthly goals. Thankfully, most of my goals can be accomplished while indoors. Before I get into my July 2025 goals, I want to take a moment to share how I did with my June goals.
June Review
June was a bit of a rough month, and did not go as planned. Early in the month, our senior dog passed away after a short battle with health issues. Next, I hit a major reading slump that lasted nearly the entire month. Finally, I allowed myself to succumb to video game addiction (this may have been to help distract myself from the previous events) and spent most of my time playing Stardew Valley. So, needless to say, my goals suffered. However, life happens, and I know I won’t always reach all of my goals each month.
Read at least 5 books
Nope. I came somewhat close but didn’t quite hit the mark. See what I read in June.
Finish setting up the garden
Nope.
Finish planting the garden
Yes. I did get around to planting, and in some cases, replanting, the remainder of the garden.
Watch at least 1 season of a show & 1 movie
Sort of. I did watch one season of Queen of Tears. However, I did not get around to watching a movie.
Post once a week on the blog
Nope.

Not even close.
July 2025 Goals
July will hopefully be more successful than June. My goal list will remain relatively small, allowing myself the time and energy to catch up on some things.
Read at least 5 books
My July TBR is a bit more than 5 books; however, I am aiming to read 5 books. If I read more than that, I will be happy.
Finish setting up the garden
All that’s left is to build and install a gate for our raspberry area. As long as the weather allows it, I should be able to get this done this month.
Watch at least 1 season of a show & 1 movie
This is less of a goal and more of a fun task if I have time for it.
Post once a week on the blog
One post a week feels manageable at the moment. If I get more than that done, then that’s a pure bonus.
Work on blog redesign
This is one of my big 2025 goals, and I haven’t gotten as far into it as I had hoped. So, I will be putting a lot of my attention towards this.
Reply to comments within 72 hours
As before, ideally, I would like to reply to comments within 24 hours. However, I am being realistic and aiming to get to them within 72 hours.
I hope you enjoyed my July 2025 Goals. What goals have you set for July?
