📨 Friday Report XXXII — 8.13.21

Happy Friday, mes amis!​

I hope you’ve had the week of your dreams. I’ve spent the majority of the week sick in bed, but now that I’m no longer nauseous, I’m loving the excuse to sleep all day. In the past 24 hours, I’ve slept just as much as I’ve been awake and I’m not mad at it.

My favorite takeaway from this week is the importance of practicing the “law of assumption”.

For me, that means assuming that all is going to work out for me. Everything that happens, no matter how it plays out, is for my benefit.

I’m in the cutest, coziest and thoughtfully-designed studio apartment. I was to move to a different (and smaller) studio on Monday, but apparently, Europe is cancelling flights to Maexico so I get to stay here for at least another 2 weeks. Que blessed?

So now, I’m going to go ahead and assume that I’m staying here for the next month, like I want to.

My hosts are the sweetest and even deliver me custom herbal teas and coconut water so it’s been especially nice to be here and shoutout to my homie Nenelwa for taking a bit of her vaca time to bring me groceries.

Before you start making a list of all the great things that you will assume are on their way to you…​

Let’s dive in!

• I discovered this rapper’s music through TikTok because her marketing is GENIUS! And I actually like her music.
• ​Twitter will forever be my favorite place on the internet. 😂
• ​Have you been paying attention to the fires in Greece? The earth is next level over humans at this point and I’m not mad at it.
• The people who study the science of smelling have been heavy researching how Covid causes a longterm loss in smell. People who have suffered with a loss of smell way before Covid are super salty about this increase in research because no one paid much attention to them before.
• ​This accounting professor turned himself into a Zoom Potato and I’m not even gonna tell you how many time’s I’ve watched this. 😭 Here’s part 2.​
• I was watching this video about product placement within Sex and the City. They mention how the show maed Jimmy Choo’s super popular. It maed me think about how influential creative content can be. First a book and then a movie, Eat, Pray, Love put Bali on the map and massively boosted their tourism.
• On a related note, I watched Netflix’s Heist in a day and one of the episodes was about bourbon that was stolen by distillery employees and then sold through their connections. Because of the popularity of Mad Men, bourbon prices were wild and the employees couldn’t resist taking advantage of the easy access.
• Here’s a history of the entire world, i guess. Great high watch.​

What’s up with me?

• The Self Maed Bootcamp is an absolute DREAM! Our group calls have been nothing but love. I can’t wait to do another one.
• Although I’m not into longterm client work, I love working with individuals one month at a time to help them getting organized and strategically work their way to their goals. I’m already excited to start taking those kind of clients again once Bootcamp is done.
• I’m sick and I’ve spent my week either on Zoom calls or in bed. It’s called balance.​

Track of the Week

Victoria Monet, with the voice of an angel, has a new summertime track called Coastin’. Listen on…

​Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube​

I’m legit so proud of myself for writing this lol. I haven’t really done any work since Monday so this is the first real thing, emails included, that I’ve written since then.

I look forward to a weekend of Bootcamp content, time in my bed, Hulu binges and fresh fruit juice.

​

Stay happy,
Maegan
