And now for something completely different...

So. I've been in the digital trenches long enough to know that not every email deserves to see the light of inbox day.

So I made this ridiculous flowchart about whether you should actually hit send on that email you're writing.

You know exactly what I'm talking about - that message you started at 2 AM after binging three seasons of your comfort show, or the one you're crafting while secretly plotting revenge on your neighbor's excessively early lawn mower. (6AM is NOT OK, Hank!!!)

Consider this your official "Email Sanity Check" from your friendly neighborhood RJ (because I've definitely sent things I immediately regretted). Behold!!

I loved making this. Too much.

And in other news...

I've been getting great engagement with the 24 Hour Challenge: Operation Already Awesome. So I made a decision.

Starting right now until next Wednesday at 1 PM, I'm challenging you to play with the wild possibilities that emerge when you stubbornly believe you're already the very best at what you do.

THE RULES ARE SIMPLE:

• Choose ANY 24-hour period between now and next Wednesday

• For those 24 hours, fiercely protect your self-perception

• No matter what happens, remind yourself that you ARE the expert

• Document what shifts (because honey, things WILL shift)

• Rinse and repeat as many times as you want during the week!

This isn't some exercise in delusion. This is about temporarily silencing that annoying inner goblin long enough to see what happens when you operate from a place of absolute confidence.

Here's something important – you have nothing to lose. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

But what you might gain? Breakthrough ideas. Confident client interactions. Solutions to problems that have been kicking your butt.
