Sup, pitch?
Believe it or not, I don’t have anything cute to say this week. I’m ankle-deep in spring cleaning, knee-deep in taxes, and chest-deep in assignments. Someone pray to the kween mother Andy Cohen that I make it out of this week ALIVE.
In lieu of my lack of words, I’d love to get your take on something: How do you stay organized at work? Lend me your secrets, pitches!
Do you use Notion? AirTable? Some other kind of task management tool? Color-coded highlighters? Gmail labels? I want to know the tricks of the trade of your productivity.
All ideas welcome!!!! Either email me separately or reply to this thread.
Free tip of the week
Forgo the robots. I’m sorry, but it’s true. If you’re using ChatGPT (ew, I don’t even like calling it by its name), I promise you every writer in the room can tell. There’s no humanity to press releases written by le robots. Do they write words? Sure. Is there any emotion behind it? Absolutely not. Read anything written by a ‘bot and you’ll start to pick up on it, too. Writers are gonna write; bots are gonna bot.
And that’s no two cents.
What I’m sourcing~
I’m sourcing experts and products on the following topics:
Is Money Actually Safe in the Bank? (Parade): Need a banking expert or financial adviser to answer the question: ‘Is my money safe in the bank?’ Also needs to discuss what’s covered (as in insured) and what’s not.
10+ Signs You’re a Helicopter Parent (Parade): Need a therapist, child psychologist, or behaviorist to speak to the signs of helicopter parenting and insight on what to do instead.
What’s the Magical Number Mortgage Rate You Shouldn’t Give Up Right Now? (Parade): Looking for real estate experts and loan officers to explain what % rate is ‘normal’ right now. If your rate is at X number, then you should hold onto your house right now, etc.
Vitamin D Autoimmune Disease (mindbodygreen): Need an MD, herbalist, and/or MD (multiple experts, that is) to speak to how vitamin D can impact autoimmune diseases.
Feel free to email me if you have any relevant contributions to the above assignments.

I read your "sup pitch" opener like Dr. Dre's "sup b*tch" in Next Episode, LOL! If that was intentional, kudos! Also, if you need any stain removal/cleaning products for your spring cleaning, you know where to find me ;) Best of luck with your taxes! I'm in the same boat right now :/
