We are already in the fifth month of 2025. May brings about spring weather, and with that comes a shift in focus. It’s time to get the garden up and running, which is where most of my time will be spent for the month. Before I get into my May 2025 goals, I want to take a moment to share how I did with April’s goals.
April Review
April was a fairly decent month. While I didn’t hit many of my goals, I did get a lot accomplished that wasn’t listed among my goals.
Read at least 5 books
Yes.
Prep the garden area
While I didn’t get all of the garden prepped, I did get a decent chunk of it done. I also managed to start planting a few things.
Watch at least 1 season of a show & 1 movie
Not quite. I didn’t watch any shows, but I did watch the movie Bread of Happiness.
Post once a week on the blog
Almost! I missed one week.
Reply to comments within 72 hours
Nope, I failed this one. It took me a long time to get to any comments, in fact, most comments in April went without replies until May.
May 2025 Goals
May is set to be a busy month. Much of my time and energy will be spent in the garden as May is when most if not all of the plants should be planted, but before that happens, I have some more garden prep to do.
Read at least 5 books
While my May TBR has quite a few books on it, my minimum goal is to read 5 books.
Finish setting up the garden
This is a big one. I have some raised beds that need to be built, placed, and filled, a raspberry trellis to build, a fence to install, a gate to build, and many other tasks.
Plant the garden
I likely won’t get everything planted, but I am hoping to get the vast majority of it done.
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.
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 May 2025 goals. What goals do you have for May?
