SH Note #6: The Career Blog And The Flight Sale You SHOULD Know About!
Sep 04, 2018Hello
I hope you're having a happy week so far! As always, I want to make this as strategic, insightful, and useful for you as possible. Living your best life takes WORK! Take small steps whenever you can to turn your dreams into your reality.
I know shit gets rough sometimes, so take it one day at a time and focus on loving yourself. Let's all make an effort to be extra kind to someone this week; you never know what a person is going through so don't underestimate how much of a difference you are making. Give without expecting anything in return.
OK, you know the drill ― I'm constantly consuming and creating content across all channels... below is my latest list of recommended links to help you build your best life:
WHERE I'M TRAVELING
- I just landed home in London after an incredible 11 days back home in the USA. I was there for work with my NYC team during the week, and was lucky enough to be able to extend the trip the weekends before and after to spend time with my family.
- This Friday I will take a train to Brussels for a four day weekend in Belgium and Luxembourg! You can check out my travel budget and schedule here, and adventure with me live this weekend (Sept 7-11) as it all unfolds on my Insta story.
WHAT I'M WRITING
- Currently on a big "use your vacation days" kick. We have four months left in the year ― do you have plans to use up ALL of your vacation days for 2018?! Take the time NOW to figure out where you stand so you don't lose out on that paid time off. Don't give your company back part of your paycheck by not using your days off! If you need any travel peer pressure, you know where to find me :)
- As much as I love to travel abroad, I adore the ease of staycations and the relaxing joy they can bring to your life. Have you considered taking one?
WHAT OTHERS ARE WRITING
- On the career front, Ask A Manager has been my favorite blog for at least seven years running now. Whether you're a manager or an employee, you'll find the office life questions fascinating and horrifying (yet relatable). Alison Green's answers are on point and guide you to create your best career life. I have learned so much about being a manager from this site and how to navigate the murky waters of career politics. I aspire to be as helpful as Alison is!
BOOKS I'M LISTENING TO
- I'm new to audio books this year, these are my top three favorites so far:
PERSONALITY TEST I'M TAKING
- I am obsessed with Myers Briggs, and really need to write a post about my experience with it! But in the meantime, I wanted to share this personality test with you as it has made a huge impact on my life and how I understand myself and others. I highly recommend taking the test ― you only need 13 minutes... go with your gut response, and answer honestly about the person you ARE, not who you're trying to or think you should be.
- I'm an INFJ ― I would love to know if you took the test and what type you are ― comment on this Insta post here so we can discuss!
TRAVEL TIPS I'M SHARING
- Norwegian Air is having a sale right now ― it ends tomorrow! You can find roundtrip flights to cities like Oslo, Amsterdam, and London for under $400! Definitely worth checking out ― even if you can't go on a trip right now, it's always fun to browse, wanderlust, and see what's available out there. Dreaming is powerful!!!
Now go forth and get shit done! I think you're wonderful and I know you can do it!
If you have any questions or feedback, don't hesitate to reach out.
PLEASE :) forward this email or link to a friend that would find this helpful too!
