I post monthly reviews of my goals as a way to track progress and to identify where I could improve.
I’ve found that reviewing my goals monthly really helps to keep what I want at the front of my mind and thoughts. It allows me to review my progress, identify areas that need improvement, and to ensure that I keep on track throughout the year.
My two favourite quotes on goals:
1. A goal is just a dream with a deadline.
2. The best way to predict the future, is to create it.
A new update will be available every month! Check out below for my latest posts.

2021 Goal Progress – April
This post was a little later than usual due to being on holiday and taking some time off from everything. Need to slowly return to my usual habits and keep focused on my goals. There weren’t any major changes in March, but I made some really good progress on a number of goals! Especially financial! …
2021 Goal Progress – March
Start of March, two months down for 2021. I’m feeling quite good about a lot of my goals so far, but I know I’m a little behind on a few of them. From this point, March seems like a quite month in terms of events. Plenty of time to work towards things and keep on …
2021 Goal Progress – February
Is it just me, or is 2021 already flying by? Either way, another month, another progress review. This is my first progress review for 2021. Throughout January, I recognised that I was going very well towards most of my goals, but also knew that I probably wouldn’t hit some of them. If you want to …
Goals for 2021
I found that categorising my goals into categories last year (finances/wealth, health/fitness etc), helped to keep me focused on those areas throughout the year. I have found that having approximately 3 goals per area was managable and allowed me to keep on track and on top of everything. I’ll be continuing with that theme in …
2020 Goal Review
At the beginning of this year, I wrote a post about the goals I wanted to achieve, the full post, with all the extra details can be seen here: Goals for 2020 While most of them have remained the same, after a few months, I decided to alter some slightly and include extras due to …
2020 Year in Review
Every year, I write out a summary of my year. Key events, experiences, lessons, and anything else that comes to mind. It’s my opportunity to review my behaviour, progress, situation, and any aspect of my life I find interesting. While I write posts about my personal goals and progress, this is more of an account …
2020 Goal Progress – December
Can’t believe it’s almost mid-December 2020. What a year. I’m grateful and fortunate to live and work in an area that wasn’t really influenced by COVID – allowing me to continue with work and make progress across my personal goals. I know it hasn’t been easy for some. For me personally, it’s been a great …
2020 Goal Progress – November
Some good progress was made throughout October, mainly towards my goals centred around wealth. It’s getting closer and closer to the end of 2021, so it’s time to stay committed and focused. I’m already super excited about my goals for next year, after really thinking about what I want to achieve / have / do, …
2020 Goal Progress – October
September was a bit of a slow month in a few areas. Not much growth across the board, but a few areas I’m happy with, and definitely areas that need some work. If you want to see a run down of each of my goals, with details on how I plan to achieve them, check …
2020 Goal Progress – September
August has been a really good month for my goals! Saw some awesome improvements across all goal categories. Definitely a few things I need to focus on throughout September though. It’s getting so close to the end of the year. How have you been finding your goal progress? Are you still thinking about your goals? …
2020 Goal Progress – August
I made some really good progress with my financial goals throughout July. This includes my newer goal of saving towards a house deposit. If you want to see a run down of each of my goals, with details on how I plan to achieve them, check out my original blog post for my 2020 goals …
Mid-Year Review 2020
Every year I always write my yearly review which goes over my goals, as well as anything interesting that I did during the year. It’s great to determine what you did that made you happy (and do more of it) as well as a great way to recap the year and to review past accomplishments …
2020 Goal Progress – June
Almost at the half-way point of the year and I’ve made a lot of progress. Next month, I’ll be doing a mid-year review of all of my goals to examine my progress, and what I need to do to achieve them. May was a great month for my financial goals. I’ve been working really hard …
2020 Goal Progress – May
Made some really good progress towards the more financial/wealth sides of things in April! Check out my post on my FIRE progress here. I’ve also made a lot of progress towards my Nathan Challenges Life YouTube channel – I’m now at 11 videos! It’s been really fun delving into the realm of YouTube. I made …
2020 Goal Progress – April
March was a very interesting month. My financial/wealth goals haven’t really progressed due to the COVID-19 pandemic… well, that isn’t entirely true. I am continuing to invest, and so while there is this market decline, it’s great news for long-term investors (which includes myself). I made progress across a number of my other goals, some …
2020 Goal Progress – March
February was a productive month across a number of my goals. For descriptive information for each of my goals, check out my Goals for 2020 post. Financial/Wealth Reach a net worth of $100,000 Currently at $35,627, an increase of 1.5% from February. The current market drop hasn’t helped my goal, as I explain in my …

Goals for 2020
Super excited about my goals for this year! I will be writing a monthly review/summary at the start of each month to keep me on track. If you haven’t written down any specific goals for this year, I would really recommend to do so. Just the act of thinking and writing your goals down can …
2019 Goal Review
Throughout 2019, a group of friends and I participated in a monthly review of our goals. We would share progress, set backs, and any new ideas. I found this monthly review incredibly helpful to keep the goal at the forefront of my mind and to ensure that my actions worked towards acheiving them. Below is …
