Starting Monday Morning Chaos
Okay, so this Jessica Adams Virgo guide popped up online last Sunday. Figured I’d give it a shot since, you know, Monday mornings are usually a hot mess for me. Grabbed my coffee – black, strong – and opened the laptop.
The guide kicked off talking about decluttering your workspace. “Fine,” I muttered, looking at the disaster zone that is my desk. Piles of papers, random USB cables, maybe even a fossilized snack wrapper from who-knows-when. It just happened, okay? Started shoving things into drawers. Found three pens that actually worked! Win? Maybe. Felt a bit less frantic though.
Midweek Focus Battle
Wednesday’s advice was all about focusing on one big task. Jessica said Virgos should tackle the “most important thing” before lunch. Important thing stared back at me: writing that client report. Hated it. Put it off.
Sat down. Opened the document. Blank screen. Started checking emails instead – total rookie mistake. Remembered the guide. Closed the inbox tab. Forced myself to type one sentence. Then another. And another. Took forever, felt like pulling teeth, but guess what? Got the damn outline done before noon. Shocking.
- Fought the urge to scroll endlessly.
- Put my phone face down across the room.
- Actually drank water instead of mainlining coffee.
- Slowly, painfully, the words came.
The Thursday Surprise
Thursday the guide mentioned some unexpected help. Thought it was nonsense. My kid suddenly got dumped with a major science project – volcano erupting by Monday morning, naturally. Panic mode! Baking soda, vinegar, cardboard box disaster brewing.
While I was drowning in craft glue, my neighbour knocks. Turns out she teaches middle school science! Saw the mess through the window. Came over, laughed, and showed us this genius trick with a plastic bottle instead of the wonky cardboard mess we had. Project saved. Crisis averted. That was totally the “unexpected help”. Freaky.
Wrapping Up Friday & Weekend Vibes
Friday was about wrapping things up clean. Reviewed the week’s to-do list. Felt surprisingly good ticking off items. Finished that client report draft and actually hit send before 5 PM. Small miracle.
But here’s the real kicker: Jessica mentioned something vague about “nurturing relationships” over the weekend. I’m usually wiped by Friday night. The kid asks, kinda shy, if we could build that Lego castle we bought months ago. Normally, I’d say “maybe tomorrow,” which means never. Remembered the guide. Sighed (internally). Said yes. Saturday afternoon, floor covered in tiny plastic bricks, fingers hurting from snapping pieces, listening to him explain his elaborate story for the castle inhabitants… it wasn’t “relaxing,” but it felt right. Different.
Whole week felt… smoother? Less chaotic? Still tons of work, still life stuff happening, but maybe paying a tiny bit of attention to this Virgo vibe stuff nudged things in a slightly better direction. Worth trying again maybe. We’ll see what next week’s guide says.
