JE 2 • October 12 - 18

10/12/26 - Monday

This week I have a lot to do because I'm planning to travel this weekend.

Record Module 4
Record a podcast or two
Finish books & record loom videos for 3 clients

It's Monday October 12th and my kids are on Fall Break. Even though this would normally be my week, we also alternate school breaks, and this one happens to not be mine. But I'll still have them for part of the week, so I'm picking them up this afternoon.

I spent the day:

running payroll
answering emails
editing the final video for Module 3 of Elevate.

I woke up with major pain in my side/back so sitting was not in the cards for me. I used my standing desk quite a bit. Then I finally broke down and took an Ibuprofen, and strapped a heating pad to my side.

Vol. 10. Drowning, Procrastination, and Templated Help

First of all, I’m writing this newsletter because I’m procrastinating on client work. I really should not be doing this, but when I’m inspired, I gotta run with it. Inspiration usually hits at the most inconvenient times. Also, it’s been a hotttt minute since I wrote one of these. Last week I did something that caused a FLOOD into my inbox. Each week when we publish a new podcast epis...
