November 2024 Goals Check In!

Hi friends! Remember at the start of the year when I made a blog post and a YouTube video about my 2024 goals? Well, I never did like a mid-year check-in so I thought we could do a November 2024 goals check-in seeing as we're about to head to NZ in less than a week!





November 2024 Goals Check In!


I will highlight the goals that I have done and then write a separate section below each category for the goals yet to be achieved (I hope that makes sense).


Personal Goals (Ticked Off)


  • Find a new place to live - We moved in March and hopefully don't have to move for a very long time now. I would say the old suburb we lived in was a bit safer, but in this area we know a lot more of our neighbours.

  • Cook and bake more often - I have definitely been doing this!

  • Write a daily gratitude list (e.g., a list every morning of what I'm grateful for) - I am currently at day 306 of daily gratitude lists.

  • Meditate for at least 10 minutes a day - I meditate a lot but I could be doing more.

  • Improve my health situation - This has somewhat improved but because of my root canal, I would say things have been stagnant.

  • Be able to do a hike AGAIN - We did a lot of hikes on our Great Ocean Road Roadie!

  • Go ghost hunting

  • Grow my own herbs - The only one that has survived has been my parsley but I've done it!

  • Upgrade my wardrobe - Yep, did this recently, and bought better-fitting clothes for my weight fluctuations.

  • Read at least 20 - 30 books.


Personal Goals (Still to Go)


  • Go ghost hunting - I don't have any equipment or know where to go but maybe we can do a ghost tour or haunted house tour sometime soon.

  • Read at least 20 - 30 books - I'm only on my 9th book, maybe I can speed read in less than two months LOL.





Social Media Goals (Ticked Off)


  • Gain 1500 TikTok Followers

  • Gain 10,000 Instagram Followers

  • Gain 1000 YouTube Followers

  • Find my YouTube niche - I think vlogs/sociology topics are my niche so I'ma tick this one off.

  • Make regular vlogs/videos - Yes, this is definitely part of my routine now!

  • Monetize my blog or something creative - big tick here, woo!

  • Get to Level 50 in Pokemon Go (I know it's not really a social media thing but I thought that this was the category that it most related to)

  • Get a brand deal / sponsorship


Social Media Goals (Still to Go)


  • Gain 1500 TikTok Followers - my personal TikTok is at 407 followers, Benji's is at 1070 so I think Benji might make it but I never know what to post on TikTok.

  • Gain 10,000 Instagram Followers - still at the 3800 mark, I post consistently but maybe I'm not funny enough lol.

  • Gain 1000 YouTube Followers - I think my YouTube is growing because we're almost at 400 subs so growing day by day, video by video.

  • Get to Level 50 in Pokemon Go (I know it's not really a social media thing but I thought that this was the category that it most related to) - I am at level 43 so I don't think I'll get here but we can try.

  • Get a brand deal / sponsorship - this was an add on but it might be more achievable next year.




Photography Goals (Ticked Off)


  • Get a photo "featured" somewhere - I had a photo featured on a Melbourne travel page so this is a tick!

  • Keep doing astro photography

  • Learn more about videography - absolutely, yes!

  • Improve my wildlife photography - also, yes.

  • Spend more time on long exposure shots - did a lot in Rye and will be doing some in NZ so I'ma say yes.


Photography Goals (Still to Go)


  • Keep doing astro photography - kinda but it hasn't really happened and we missed all the auroras so that sucks.





Travel Goals (Ticked Off)


  • Take Luke to NZ for at least a month (get to NZ to help mum when we find out about her surgery) + do a roadie with Luke of NZ )

  • Travel around more of Victoria and Australia in general - I would say we've done a bit of travel so yes)

  • Do something adrenaline junkie


Travel Goals (Still to Go)


  • Take Luke to NZ for at least a month (get to NZ to help mum when we find out about her surgery) + do a roadie with Luke of NZ ) - Mum's had her surgery woo and we'll be in NZ for two weeks from Tuesday night so this will be able to be ticked off then!

  • Do something adrenaline junkie - I'm a scaredy-cat


Financial Goals (Ticked Off)


  • Pay off Credit Card before the interest-free period ends

  • Pay off student loan repayments ( x 2, April + September) - this is the most awful thing about living overseas - Done!

  • Save $10,000

  • Update my CV and find my career trajectory/purpose in life - I think I have more direction here so I'ma say yes!


Financial Goals (Still to Go)


  • Pay off Credit Card before the interest-free period ends - Almost there

  • Save $10,000 - I might get there, might not, will see how we go. Lots of my savings was spent on my bloody root canal. Let's hope no more teeth issues.


18/28 goals achieved so far! I also had a goal of learning how to make cocktails and I've learned at least 2 this year! So I dunno where I wrote that one down or if it was an add-on to some note I made so technically 19/28 hehe!


Thanks for reading!

I hope you enjoyed this article. Let me know in the comments what goals you're most proud of achieving this year!


Much love,

Ash xoxo
