Monthly Goals: October 2020

 
October-Monthly-Goals.jpg

Today, I’m starting a new series on the blog where I will share my new goals each month. I’ve seen quite a few bloggers share their goals and I enjoy reading them, so I wanted to start sharing my own list. My goals can be a combination of part of my yearly goals, things on my 101 Things list I want to accomplish or brand new goals I’ve set for myself each month. I will also start sharing progress from the previous month’s goals, but since this is the start of the series, I don’t have anything to share from September. October is slipping away and we’re already 11 days in, so let’s get down to business.

October 2020 Goals

Bring Cost Per Wear down to $1 or less for 10 items in Stylebook

If you read my September Monthly Favorites post, then you know I recently started using the Stylebook app to catalog my wardrobe and get the most use out of the things in my closet. My goal for the month is to get the Cost Per Wear for 10 items down to $1 or less. 

Finish one book

My reading goal for the year is to finish 12 books. I am slightly behind, but I have two books I’m currently reading, so I hope to finish one of them by the end of the month.

Finish organizing/decluttering external hard drive

This has been on my to-do list for a LONG time, so I want to see if I can finally cross this one off this month.

Watch another Star Wars movie

A goal from my 101 Things in 1001 Days list is to finish all the Star Wars movies before the 1001 days are up. My boyfriend and I have been making our way through the series this year, so I’m hoping to watch another one before we get sucked into Season 2 of The Mandalorian at the end of the month.

Have a fancy date night

Speaking of my boyfriend, we’re coming up on our 9 year anniversary at the end of the month (woah)! I realized that we have never really gotten dressed up and had a fancy date night, so I want to make that a priority this year. We have a place in mind where we are both wanting to go, so hopefully it works out for us. 

Get blog back on track (1 post per week)

It has kind of been my goal all year long to keep my blog up and running, but the past few months have been a struggle and I’ve been down to one post per month. My goal is to get on a schedule where I post once per week. My creativity has come and gone in waves this year, as it always does, but I’m finally getting the itch to write again, so I want to roll with it. We’ll see how it goes!


Those are all of my main goals for the month of October! I was hoping to get a few of them done during my vacation this past week, but time slipped away from me. Since this is my first post in the series and I’ve been lacking setting monthly goals for myself, I didn’t want to set anything that would be too difficult for me to handle. I also feel that sharing my goals with others might give me that extra push to work towards accomplishing them. We’ll see how I do this time around and I will catch you up when I do my recap at the beginning of November!

What goals are you currently trying to accomplish? Leave a comment down below and let me know.

Until next time,
