Started My Virgo Career Prep Last Thursday Night
Grabbed my super-battered notebook – you know, that one with coffee stains from last month’s all-nighter – and plonked myself on the saggy couch. Flipped straight to a fresh page. Decided to tackle this horoscope planning head-on since Mercury Retrograde messes with our vibes next week.
Step 1: The Brain Dump Mess
- Scribbled every tiny work worry: That awkward meeting with Brenda from accounting?
- Doubt about the manager’s vague “growth opportunity” promise?
- Dreaded project deadline breathing down my neck
- Even added “copier jam trauma” from Wednesday
Total chaos. Like dumping a junk drawer onto paper. Felt kinda nasty but freeing too.
Step 2: Sorting The Trash Fire
Took my purple highlighter (the one leaking ink) and went berserk:
- YELLOW = Stuff I gotta fix THIS WEEK (“Practice salary negotiation lines in shower”)
- PINK = Long-term headaches (“Update LinkedIn… eventually”)
- GREEN = “Why am I even doing this?” tasks (“Attend mandatory synergy webinar”)
Realized half my stress came from green zone crap. Instant mood lift.
The “Oh-Crap-Plan” For Next Week
Sunday evening rolled around. Ate cold pizza straight from the box while scrawling this monstrosity:
- MON: Show up early. Hide from Brenda near coffee machine.
- TUE: Casually ask boss about “growth opportunity” definition. Exit fast if they say “synergy”.
- WED: Do actual work on nightmare project for 2 uninterrupted hours. Phone on airplane mode.
- THU: Practice “I deserve this raise” lines to my cat. He judges silently.
- FRI: Submit project draft & bolt before feedback. Mental health preservation.
Biggest Takeaway? That green zone list is mostly corporate nonsense noise. Ignoring 60% of it immediately. Virgos overthink – sometimes you gotta let the trash tasks pile up unopened. My boss emailed about “urgent TPS reports” yesterday. Still in the mental shredder.
