My Experience Trying Those Virgo Daily Quick Tips
So this morning, while scrolling through my feed looking for something useful to kickstart the day, I saw that article about Virgo quick tips to improve your day fast. Sounded good, honestly. Needed it. Yesterday was a bit of a mess, so why not give it a shot today?
Okay, first thing mentioned? Virgos love plans. Makes sense. I grabbed my trusty notebook – the slightly coffee-stained one – flipped to a blank page, and thought, “Right, what absolutely HAS to get done today?” Instead of writing down everything like usual (which I never finish), I decelled to pick just the top three biggies. And get this, I actually wrote them as specific actions! Not like my old lists that said “Work Stuff” – stupid vague. Today I wrote: “Email Sarah about the project deadline by 11am,” “Complete draft for the blog outline,” and “Pay the electric bill online.” Felt way more doable already.
Next tip? Virgos are detail-oriented, and the article said check things early to avoid stress sneaking in later. Fine. I opened my email. Oof. Saw a bunch of unanswered messages piling up. That anxiety flutter started. But, following the tip, I decided not to dive into replying to everything right then. Instead, I spent five minutes just scanning the subject lines. Starred the two that were genuinely urgent (one from my boss needing input, another about a payment). The rest? Muted notifications for them. My brain sighed in relief.
Third thing on the Virgo list: Appreciate the little stuff. Gratitude journaling always felt a bit fluffy to me, but the tip said “fast,” so I tried the quick version. While waiting for my lazy soup to heat up at lunch, I scribbled down three tiny things:
- My warm coffee tasted exactly right this morning.
- The bus came right on time for once.
- Found that podcast episode I wanted downloaded.
Simple stuff. Didn’t take more than a minute. But weirdly, acknowledging those good bits made the sandwich taste better too.
The article also nudged about cleaning your space a bit – Virgo vibes, right? My desk was honestly looking like a bomb site. Old cups, scribbled notes everywhere. I set my phone timer for 10 minutes and just attacked it. Tossed trash, stacked the papers neatly, wiped down the dust magnet that is my keyboard. Timer dinged, stopped. Didn’t deep clean the whole house, but my immediate work area felt calm and organized. Way less distracting.
Finally, the advice was don’t forget to breathe when stuff piles up. Yeah, easier said than done. But mid-afternoon, felt overwhelmed staring at that blog outline draft. Remembered the tip. Instead of forcing it, I stood up, walked to the window, and actually took three stupidly slow, deep breaths. Just focused on breathing in and out for maybe thirty seconds. Went back. The outline didn’t magically write itself, but the tension headache threatening wasn’t quite so bad. Made it easier to start chipping away.
So, did it turn my whole day into perfection? Nah. Still had annoying emails and a meeting that dragged on. But using those quick Virgo-inspired steps genuinely made things smoother. Planning specifically reduced the morning scramble panic, clearing my desk helped focus, and even just that tiny gratitude/breathing pause offered surprising mental resets. Definitely felt like an improvement. Might not do every single point every day, but knowing I can grab one or two quick actions when needed? Yeah, that helps.
