Write it down

Whatup Reader!

We're keeping this one short and sweet today, and not just because It’s mid-December and I don’t feel like doing shit. We're keeping this one short and sweet because I want to make sure there’s no fluff to confuse you, no extra words to distract you, and basically zero reasons for you to not take action.

My soft suggestion action item for you:

Write down exactly how you’re feeling right now.

How much work you want to be doing, how much tv you’d rather be watching, how cold you are, how much you want to punch yourself for agreeing to squeeze in that extra patient, how stressed you are, how ready you are to be done with everything once the sun goes down at 3:59pm.

Write. It. Down.

From there, go to your calendar for next year and adjust what you need to adjust.

If you need to block off your schedule, block it off now.

If you need to put in for PTO, put it in now. (Clearly I actually have no idea how that shit works so do whatever needs to be done so that you can have your time off next year.)

If you need to schedule more clients or launches at other times of the year so that you can have time to rest come December, open up those slots now.

If you planned and prepared for this season and you're feeling great now, CLAP FOR YOUR DAMN SELF.

Seasonality is very real, spirality is very real, and you will very much be feeling the exact same way this time next year…so make moves now.

If you’ve been in my ecosystem for basically any amount of time then you’ve likely heard me say this a bunch, but a bunch never, so I’m saying it again.

Write it down and then take action.

Alright, das all I got for you.

Happy Monday, Reader.

Maestro out.

Read time: 4 min 34 sec Whatup Reader! So, y’all know that I’m very much a cat person (if you don’t know, now you know), but a little more that 2 years ago I became a dog parent to Moose, the sweetest dog ever, and quickly learned that being a dog parent means walking. Every day. Lucky for me, Moose loves a ride in the Jeep, but could care less about going on a walk. Given that neither of us are itching to just be walking around town, over the past few months I’ve unintentionally cut our...

Read time: 1 min 27 sec Whatup Reader! I know the last few weeks have been story time Tuesdays (much appreciate the positive feedback btw 💚), but sometimes I be using these Tuesday emails to simply give you permission that you didn’t need (but that I know many folks still wait for). Today’s permission slip: Not everything needs to get done. Some things you can just ignore forever. Actual footage of Nike right now: miss jay gif GIF But it’s true. And this is coming from me, the Maestro with...

Read time: 2 min 5 sec Whatup Reader! Sometimes I like to sit and think about hypotheticals. I play out made-up scenarios to see how what the butterfly effects might look like. This time, it was about beach volleyball. I spend no less that 6 hours a week playing beach volleyball. I started in early 2020, right before the world shut down, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Lex andI take lessons twice a week. We play pick-up for a few hours every Friday. We’ve taken a last-minute trip to...
