October Monthly Goals: An Adventure of Curiosity and Personal Growth

Dear Adventure Avenue,

This year I made five goals that I hope to accomplish by 2022. Some of these goals are curiosity based, while others are geared towards self growth or preservation. You can read more about them in this post.

Goals

Track how much I actually make per month/per year using money making apps. Checkout this post to get the referral codes and links so you can follow along on this adventure.  

Checkout 51: starting $14.04 Current earnings $22.37+$21.94+$19.56= $63.87. I was able to get a check (twice!!) once I reached (and then surpassed) $20. I recommend cashing out as soon as you reach the $20 benchmark on this app because the check can take a couple of weeks to get to you.

Shopkick: starting 11 kicks ($1 = 250 kicks) Current earnings  5,161 kicks. I’m so close to a $25 gift card!

Swagbucks: starting 45 swagbucks ($1 = 100 swagbucks) Current earnings 488 swagbucks

Ibotta: starting $4.30 Current earnings $87.97. 

Fetch Rewards: starting 3,215 points ($1 = 1,000 points) Current earnings 22,352 points.

2. Read 12 books throughout the year. That’s a book a month.

So far this year I have read or listened to 20 books:

I’m currently working on

I also started listening to audiobooks using my library card. So far I’ve read #Girlboss (because I watched the show on Netflix), Jenna Fisher’s book, The Actor’s Life, and The Undomestic Goddess.

This month I finished listening to Essentialism by Greg McKeown and am almost done with Atomic Habits by James Clear.

I created a “What I’m Reading” page if you want to see some books that I have read or am planning to read.

3. Create a Star Wars inspired quilt square once a month to create a Star Wars quilt in December or January of next year. 

So far I’ve made 9/12: 

  • A Sequel Trilogy square with Rey and BB-8
  • A Mandalorian square with Grogu!
  • An Anakin and Padme square
  • A Darth Vader Imperial square
  • A Rogue One square
  • A Princess Leia and Rebel Alliance square
  • A droids square featuring R2-D2 and C-3PO
  • A Jedi Order square
  • A Ships square featuring a TIE fighter and the Millennium Falcon

I started doing some embroidery on new squares! Stay Tuned!

4. Make 12 new recipes. 

So far I’ve made:

Nothing new in this department. But if you need some French food inspiration – try my crepe recipe! (It doesn’t use up all your eggs – Bonus!!)

5. Take one Mental Health Monday a week. 

I did 11 meditation/Restorative yoga sessions on Peloton. I love how Peloton has meditation courses for whatever mood you’re in.

Sincerely,

A
