The last task of the year is just to enjoy the remaining days of 2009 and bring the new year in with family. I head to Baton Rouge tomorrow where I’ll get to see LSU’s campus, enjoy some warm weather, and celebrate 2010 in New Orleans.

Success = Enjoying New Year’s.

With the Christmas holiday a few days away, it’s probably a good idea to start getting holiday gifts. For the cloose family, we decided to limit ourselves to $10 gifts, so we have to be somewhat creative.

Luckily I have a plan for all the gifts I need to get, so hopefully I’ll be able to execute it.

Success = Christmas shopping completed.

With an almost certain move in January, it’s time to start looking for apartments. I know I want to move closer to the improv theaters on the West Side, but I’m not exactly sure where.

This week’s task is to look in a few different areas and decide where I want to live in 2010.

Success = Area to live in 2010.

Project #50 – Make a Few HTW Site Changes (Task)

Now that I have the posts finished for 2009, it’s time to make a few minor changes to the humor site so that 2010 starts off with everything already set up.

Success = Changing the ads on the site and updating some of the navigation.

Project #49 – Schedule HTW Posts (Task)

With only one more month remaining in the year, I’d like to finish with at least 2 new posts on the HTW site each week. Since December will likely be a busy time with work and hopefully relaxing month with holidays, the goal is to get all of those posts written and scheduled this week.

Success = Posts scheduled for remaining weeks of 2009.

Project #48 – Enjoy Thanksgiving (Task)

Even though I’ve already had one Thanksgiving dinner this year (last week in Cincinnati), this week’s task is to enjoy the holiday with friends in New York.

Success = a happy Turkey Day.

Fresh on the heels of going to the AIN Conference, I have a workshop this week for over 60 people at work in Cincinnati. This will be the largest workshop I’ve led by myself, and both my manager and 1-up manager will be present.

Success = A communication workshop successfully facilated at my work F2F.

Project #46 – AIN Presentation (Task)

This week I travel to the Applied Improvisation Network’s annual conference where I’ll be learning from like-minded people about the way they use improv in business and education.

In addition to attending the conference, I am also presenting how to use improv in 1on1 situations. Therefore this week’s task is to prepare and deliver the presentation to the AIN.

Success = Successfully delivered presentation at the AIN conference.

Project #45 – Prioritize (Task)

drew tarvin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:15:17 +0000

As I started working on the monthly review, I realized I haven’t found the right balance between working on the everyday things that I feel like I have to do, and getting some of the bigger goals completed. This week’s task is to really think about what I think I should be focusing on.

Success = An idea of where I should be focusing my efforts.

Project #44 – Survive the Workweek (Task)

drew tarvin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:18:35 +0000

As I mentioned in my review of last week, this week is critical to 2 of my biggest projects of the year at work so I’ll be focusing on the job.

Success = Doing everything I need to do for my job.
