Alright folks, let me break down how I tackled this whole Virgo career forecast thing for November 2024. Grabbed my morning coffee first thing – can’t function without it – and pulled up that horoscope on my phone while the dog was barking at squirrels.
Step Zero: The Pre-Game Routine
Knew this required my bullet journal and three different colored pens. Yeah, I’m that person. Dug out last November’s notes too – gotta compare patterns, right? Noticed Mercury retrograde wrecked my schedule back then, so circled potential problem dates immediately with my red pen. Classic Virgo move.
The Actual Process
Started scribbling predictions in bullet points:
- DO NOT sign contracts between Nov 7-15 (highlighted this in neon yellow)
- Double-check all emails before sending around Nov 20th
- Reach out to Karen in accounting before month starts (she’s always a bottleneck)
Then I made this dorky action plan on a sticky note:
- Move contractor meetings to first week
- Set calendar reminders for email reviews
- Buy Karen coffee on Halloween (bribery works)
Put that note right on my monitor where I’d see it daily. Almost forgot until my cat knocked over a plant near it – thanks, Whiskers.
Mid-Month Adjustments
Hit Nov 10th and my boss tried pushing a vendor agreement. Pulled out my “sorry, can’t, planetary alignment” excuse. Got side-eye but avoided disaster when that vendor’s proposal collapsed days later. Felt smug for five whole minutes.
Nov 18th? Caught myself typing a rage-email to marketing. Remembered the forecast, deleted it, walked around the block instead. Sent polite version next morning. Probably saved my job.
End Results
By Thanksgiving week? Zero fire drills. Karen approved expenses early for once. Actually took PTO without work blowing up. Still can’t decide if it was the horoscope or just finally learning from past screwups.
Biggest takeaway? Whether stars or common sense, pausing to plan beats fixing messes. Still keeping that sticky note system though – right next to Whiskers’ treat schedule.
