My friend in Denver told me my monthly log looked like a mess of scribbles

Honestly, it's just a calendar. I get the idea, but sometimes it feels like we're overthinking basic stuff. I used to spend more time picking pen colors than actually doing the tasks. If it works for you, cool, but my brain just sees a rainbow mess. A simple check mark gets the job done for me.

Pro tip: I started using a single highlighter for my entire monthly log and it's a game saver!

Honestly, that sounds so boring though. A single color for a whole month? My whole system would fall apart. I use different colors to separate work tasks from personal stuff, and another for bills. How do you even tell things apart at a quick glance? All yellow just looks like a blur to me.

Remember when we all used to shape shoes cold?

Still keep the rounding hammer in the truck box. Some things you just gotta do cold.

Spent $60 on a 'premium' online course about asking better questions. The first lesson was 'Have you tried turning it off and on again?'

My entire tech support career is built on that one trick. Maybe I should be the one selling the sixty dollar course. The real lesson is always in the comments, and it's usually free. Guess I just paid for a fancy reminder of what I already know. At least the course didn't tell me to check if the thing was plugged in. That's probably lesson two.

Vent: I had to pick between a clean logo and a 'fun' one for my coffee cart

How much did I pay to stare at a logo that makes me want to nap? Too much, clearly.
