October is here, and I cannot believe we are already in the final third of 2025. As with all other months, I plan to make a list of goals to accomplish in October. However, this month’s goals have a bit of a twist, and I’m very excited to work on them. Before I get into my October 2025 goals, I’d like to take a moment to share how I did with September’s goals.
September Review
September was one of those months that simultaneously flew by and yet dragged on.
Read 5 books
Yes. I got quite a few books read in September.
Watch at least 1 season of a show & 1 movie
Yes. I watched 1 season of the following shows:
- All Creatures Great & Small
- 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!
- Little House on the Prairie
For movies, I watched:
- Lost in Starlight
- Sonic The Hedgehog 3
- The Wild Robot
- Dog Man
- No Way Up
Post once a week on the blog
Almost. Somehow, I missed one week.
Work on the backlog of reviews
I have a couple of backlog reviews left, but they should be easy enough to knock out in the coming days.
Reply to comments within 72 hours
Almost but not quite.
October 2025 Goals
For October, I am mixing it up. The last few months have been focused on a lot of blog work, especially catching up on reviews, and I’m feeling semi-burnt out from that. So, this month is all about fun. I will be doing some productive tasks; however, the vast majority of my time and thus my goals will be embracing laziness and/or fun.
Read 5 books
Since reading is something I do for fun anyway, this is an easy goal to keep. I hope to read more than 5 books, but that is the bare minimum I’m aiming for.
My October TBR is full of books I’m excited to read.
Watch at least 2 seasons of shows, 2 documentaries & 5 movies
I’m trying to whittle down my to-watch lists. Thus, I’m hoping to watch at least 2 seasons of shows – this can be from a single show with multiple seasons or several different shows with a single season.
I also want to watch at least 5 movies and 2 documentaries.
Play video games
I really enjoy video games, though I tend to only play 2 games, World of Warcraft and Stardew Valley. I plan to spend many hours playing these games. Perhaps I will start a new farm in Stardew Valley and see how far I can get with it over the course of the month.
Spend time outside
With the cooler temperatures, it’s more appealing to be outside. So, I do want to go enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. Perhaps I can do some of my reading outside.
Paint the master bedroom
Clearly, this isn’t a fun goal. However, we’re getting closer to having been in this house for almost a year, so it’s time to finally paint the bedroom because I’m not a fan of the current color.
I hope you enjoyed my October 2025 goals. What do you have planned for the month?
