Sometimes magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect
- Will Guidara, unreasonable hospitality
sometimes the most important thing we can do is let ourselves stay blurry. to be unbranded, unpositioned, undone for a while. because real self-knowledge is a slow, unmarketable process. and the lost feeling might just be the first sign that you’ve finally stopped performing someone else’s idea of a good life.

I made a list of brands/agencies I wanted to work for and didn’t let the lack of an open job posting discourage me from sending a cold email for an opportunity and put myself out there. This approach has allowed me to get 100% of the job opportunities I have, as well as a few failed Tinder dates that turned into successful job connections.

Now, imagine your ideal day. Which activities would you include, and which would you omit? Of course, you’ll probably still need to go to work and cook dinner; but would you visit the park instead of the coffee shop, or do yoga instead of surfing the Internet? How closely does your ideal schedule match your real one?
