My Messy Virgo Career Prep Yesterday
So yesterday morning I was freaking out looking at Virgo’s career forecast for today. Felt like the stars were yelling “get your act together!” or something. Total panic mode. Grabbed my notebook — the cheap spiral one with coffee stains.
First thing I did: Dumped every single task bouncing in my head onto page one. Didn’t care if it made sense. “Reply to Dave’s email,” “fix printer jam,” “plan Q3 budget thingy,” all just scrambled there. My brain felt like overcooked noodles.
Then came the chaos sort-out:
- Drew dumb little stars 🌟 next to stuff that HAS to get done today or my boss loses it.
- Squiggly lines under things that can maybe wait till Friday if I fake being sick.
- Big fat X over three items — nah, those can rot till next week. Sorry, Karen!
Reality check time: Stared at the star list. Five things?! Absolutely no shot. Crossed out two with way too much satisfaction. Felt lighter already.
Game plan hack: For the three survivors? Broke each down into baby steps. Like, “reply to Dave” became:
- Open email. Seriously, step one.
- Find Dave’s rant from Tuesday.
- Type two sentences max. Don’t write a novel.
- Hit send before overthinking.
Taped this mess to my laptop lid. Used bright orange marker — can’t ignore it. Packed bag EARLY last night. Chargers, notebook, even slapped that report draft on top so I see it first thing.
Morning fail turned win: Still woke up 20 minutes late. Spilled oat milk down my shirt. BUT! Bag was ready. Saw the bright orange list. Did the three stupid little steps for “reply to Dave.” Felt like a superhero doing nothing. Stars? Kinda working so far… or maybe coffee finally kicked in.
