I’ve got a secret to share 🤭. I have this recurring fantasy of working in a job where I just clock in, do the work, clock out, and live the rest of my life in peace. No evening/weekend emails. No brainstorming in the shower. No lingering deadlines. No waking up at 2:00 AM with a new idea that simply MUST go into the presentation. But here’s the problem...I don’t think I’m built for that life. I’ve tried to imagine myself in one of those “turn off your brain at the door” jobs, and I think I'd always end up doing too much. Stocking shelves? I’d reorganize the entire aisle because the symmetry was off. The truth is, I’m that person who sees “good enough” and instinctively does “a little bit extra.” My brain loves the challenge of creating something better, something smarter, something more impactful. So, as much as I’ve daydreamed about clocking out and leaving work at the office, the reality is that I thrive in positions that ask more of me. Positions that require creativity, strategy, and the ability to connect the dots no one else sees. I’m the person who keeps tinkering, thinking, and reimagining because I genuinely can’t help it. Don’t get me wrong, I have my limits. I’m not out here advocating for hustle culture or 24/7 grind mode (soft life is calling me!!!). But I’ve realized that for me, the most fulfilling work is the kind that keeps me engaged even after hours. Not because I have to, but because I want to. I’ve come to accept that it’s okay. Because the work I do, the messy, creative, strategic, always-thinking work, is exactly what I’m meant to be doing. And I like to think my personal and professional community benefits from it. #Creativity #WorkLifeBalance #StrategicThinking #DoingThatLittleBitExtra #TeamTooMuch

Same. I call it 'Smoothie Shop' because the way I'd love to be an employee at a smoothie shop and just do that and nothing else. Just make smoothies and chill! But I also know that I'd completely change the vibe at the smoothie shop! 😩

So relateable. Those whole aisle of shelves would be alphabetized, colour coded and symmetrical just because.
