2-thousand-GREAT: September in Review

We are now heading into the last quarter of 2008… wow.  Let’s take a look at the goals.

  1. 53 Weeks of Drewy Goodness. This month, I optimized my blog, lived on a $100 budget, submitted a Writer’s packet, created a time budget, and started on building my set for a stand-up competition, bringing me to a total of 40 projects.
  2. A Joke a Day. Whew- 274 jokes total.  Some favorites from September: a canceled flight, oral surgery, and a divorce lawyer.
  3. Perform Comedy 53 times. I only performed 3 times in September, leaving me at 41 performances for the year.
  4. Get over 100,000 views on YouTube. I wasn’t sure if we were going to make any final changes to the video from last month, but it doesn’t look like we will.  You can find the video here.
  5. Publish an Article. I now have a few “articles” written (just check in the Article category).  Now I’ll just have to take one of these ideas and get it published.
  6. Break into Top 10 Internal Blogs at P&G. The internal blog continues to do well where I’m floating between the Top 5 and Top 10.
  7. Start a business. Technically we’ve made $0.22 so far.  Hopefully we’ll at least get to the $1 this month.
  8. Have 13.5″ Guns. This month was rough on working out.  First I was still adjusting to waking up early, then it was headaches, then sore throat, and now I’m in Cincinnati.  All in all in means my arms are now back down to 13″.
  9. Never hit Snooze. The challenge has still helped.  I have hit snooze a few times (especially while here in Cincinnati), but overall I’m happy with how I’ve been waking up.
  10. Help Someone Achieve a Goal. I have one or two things that I’m lining up for this one.

I can’t believe we’re in the final 3 months of the year already.  I had a pretty solid month, though I need to start making specific progress on the video (views) and the article.  I also need to build a buffer back in for stand-up, as I probably won’t perform that much towards the end of the year.  Here’s to a productive October.
