🎁 Later — Last-minute gift wrapping and scheduling emails for next week so things keep moving while I’m offline.

✨ The theme today: steady work, no rush, and setting up future space. This is what the end of the year is for.

Happy holidays!

🍳 Late morning — Back home for breakfast. Tofu scramble with fresh tofu we picked up in Berkeley earlier this week.

📬 Afternoon — Going to continue wrapping up emails, finalizing details for two client book launches coming in the new year, and scheduling social posts.

💻 7:30–10:00 a.m. — Quiet work block. Client projects, inbox clean-up, and making sure everything is buttoned up before I step away.

☕️ 10:00 a.m. — Walked to Q Specialty Coffee with Kyle and got a chai with whipped espresso foam. A small luxury that absolutely delivered.

If you’re still writing through the finish line, I see you. If you’re already resting, I salute you.

❓What’s your end-of-year mode today and tomorrow — sprinting or powering down?

🚶 5:00 p.m. — Weather-dependent walk, hike, or grocery run. Then officially clocking out.

✨ No meetings for the next two weeks. Truly offline. End of 2025 energy loading…

Thanks for being here, for reading, for showing up, and for making this year way more special than I could’ve planned 💛
