Redefine 2009 – September in Review

We’re now headed into the final stretch of the year, which seems insane considering it feels like I was just celebrating New Years on a boat on the East River.  Here’s a look back at the goals:

1. Redefine 2009

September was all about film. Check out the details in the September Focus in Review.

2. 53 Weekly Project Challenge

The projects for September included the Shoot from the Hip review, an HTW newsletter, redesigned Corporate Recess site, and published more than 100 ways to have humor at work.

3. Weekly Content Creation Challenge

I worked on shared some tips, talked about Ohio Football, had some fun with letters, and talked about the subway for September’s creative content.

4. Establish 4 New Habits

The weekly review exists barely, but has been replaced with a sporadic daily look at tasks, which basically means I need to get better at this.

As we enter the final quarter, the last habit will be to spend more time relaxing and recharging by setting aside at least 4 hours per week doing something not related to work, improv, or the blog.

5. Improve My Taste

For September, I’ve given fried tofu, chicken tempura, and Miller Lite a try; I only liked 2 of the 3.

6. Publish a Book

I have a tentative title for the book and will be spending most of October working on the first draft.

7. Get 100,000 views on YouTube

Well the short film is 99% complete, but we will be submitting it to festivals, which means we can’t share it online as of yet. For the second straight year, it doesn’t look like this one is going to happen.

8. $10,000 in Supplemental Income

I think I’m now up to about $2 from the site, so now it’s just a matter of increasing that 500,000%.

9. Get on a Harold Team

Same as last month–New York needs more auditions.

10. Get 1-Rated at Work

The ratings are still being reviewed and won’t be finalized until December, but it turns out I may have a chance.

It’s amazing how quick the month feels. It was a good month, but now it’s getting to crunch time for some of the goals; let’s see what we can manage.
