Alright folks, sit down with your herbal tea ’cause I actually did this stuff for real last week. Virgo season hitting hard in May 2025 meant business.
The Morning Mess
Woke up Tuesday feeling scattered as heck. My planner looked like a toddler scribbled on it. First practical step? Emptied my entire work bag onto the kitchen table. Found three half-dead pens, expired snacks, and seven random receipts from March.
Getting Down to Brass Tacks
Took my dusty bullet journal and actually used it. No fancy calligraphy crap – just brutal honesty:
- Crystalized that stupid idea I’d been swirling for weeks. Just wrote “SIGN UP FOR FREE WEBINAR” instead of overthinking it. Hit register before breakfast. Done.
- Cleared the notification hellscape. Turned off Slack pings between 10am-2pm. My phone battery actually lasted past noon. Game changer.
- Finally asked Brenda in accounting. You know that financial thing I kept avoiding? Walked over and said “Brenda, show me how this spreadsheet actually works.” Took her 12 minutes. Felt stupid for waiting months.
That Ugly Budget Thing
Virgos hate money chaos. So I plugged last month’s coffee runs into this app. Turns out I spent enough on oat lattes to buy a decent mic. Cut it down to three fancy coffees a week and shoved the savings straight into “Podcast Gear” jar. Concrete action – no vague intentions.
The Real Gut Punch
Thursday afternoon hit hard. Realized I was still doing Ted’s old reports “just to help.” Pulled his archived emails up, compared dates – yep, still doing work from his departed job description. Sent a polite but firm “transferring these files back to you by EOD” note. Felt like shedding lead weights.
Saturday Reality Check
Sat with my disaster of a closet (metaphor for my career path, obviously). Asked out loud: “What skills have I actually used this month vs. what’s rotting on my resume?” Axed “intermediate blockchain” from my LinkedIn. Added “solving printer jams while swearing creatively” instead. Authenticity over buzzwords.
What Actually Landed
- The webinar? Got two legit leads.
- Brenda now brings me donuts.
- Reduced caffeine shakes and grew savings.
- Ted finally took his crap back without fuss.
No grand manifesto – just gritty little battles won. Typical Virgo work: tweaking gears, not reinventing engines.
