October has arrived and with it, we are in the first full month of fall. With this seasonal shift comes thoughts of winter and all that it entails. October will be focusing on winter prep, along with some regular tasks. Before I get to my October 2024 goals, I’d like to take a moment to look back and see how I did with September’s goals.
September review
September, for the most part, was a relaxing month. There was a bit of chaos near the beginning of the month but otherwise, I was able to focus on most of my goals. I am happy with the progress I made.
Life goals
Read at least 5 books
Yes. See what I read in September.
Play World of Warcraft
Yes. I spent MANY hours playing World of Warcraft over the course of the month. I’ve been enjoying the new content and especially the raid.
Watch at least 1 show on Crunchyroll
No. I didn’t watch anything from my to-watch list.
Go ‘back to school’
No. I hate to admit that I never even thought about doing this. I honestly needed a lazy month after the hectic summer I had and I chose to play video games over learning whenever I went to my computer.
Blogging Goals
Post regularly
Yes, I posted at least once each week, which was the plan.
Work on October’s posts
I put a decent dent in this, especially since I plan to post more in October than in previous months, but I didn’t quite get around to all of them.
Update old content
I updated one old post, which isn’t as much as I had hoped to get done but it’s better than nothing.
Reply to comments in a timely manner
I believe I got to all comments within 72 hours.
October 2024 Goals
I’m not sure what October will have in store for me. It should be a quiet month but life could get chaotic, so we’ll see what happens as the month progresses.
Life goals
Read at least 5 books
This is my go-to goal every month. I am hoping to read much more than 5 but this is the minimum I’m aiming for.
My October TBR has plenty of great options to choose from.
Watch at least 1 show on Crunchyroll
This is a loose goal. I want to prioritize some of my other goals, however, I like having a fun optional goal for the month plus there are so many shows I need and want to watch.
Go “back to school”
Since I didn’t get around to this one in September, I’m bringing it back. I want to get through at least one blogging course so I can continue to improve my blog.
Do winter prep
Winter will be here before we know it and I have a number of must-do tasks before the weather gets too cold. This is where a decent chunk of my month will be spent.
Blogging Goals
Participate in Blogtober
I am aiming to do a modified Blogtober, posting every day Monday to Friday for the month. I hope that I can keep up with this and by taking the weekends off from posting I believe that I can do it.
Work on October & November’s posts
I have a decent number of October’s posts ready to go and will initially focus on the remaining posts before moving on to November’s posts.
Be more active on social media
I am quite active on Twitter/X. However, when it comes to Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest, I am much less active and I want to work on posting on these sites more regularly.
Update old content
I fell out of the habit of doing this over the last few months and it’s time to make this a regular task. I will be focusing on fixing SEO and sprucing up my old posts. I want to update at least 5 old posts this month.
Reply to comments in a timely manner
The goal is to reply to them within 72 hours of receiving a comment.
I hope you enjoyed my October 2024 goals. What do you have planned this month?
Looks like you have some great goals for the month! Best of luck!
Thank you. I look forward to working through these goals.
I love how you’re putting this out there for self-accountability! Good for you! Good luck this month
Thank you. I find sharing my goals gives me that extra boost to work on them.
