1You wake up, look at your clock, and realize your alarm didn't go off. You're late. What do you do?
Immediately jump out of bed and blast out the door to work in 10 minutes
Remind myself that all I can do now is get into work, then start my day like normal.
Take a moment to pet my cat and stretch to reset before I head in.
2You make it to work and grab a cup of coffee to try to kickstart your morning. As you're walking back to your desk you trip and coffee gets all over your new shirt. How do you respond?
Vent to my best work bud.
Remind myself that it’s just one shirt and I can wash it off.
Sneak out and buy myself a new shirt to replace it.
Wipe it up and keep going. I have work to do.
3Ok, you've dealt with the coffee problem and now you're on the phone with someone who just wants to complain. You've been trying to pacify them for almost 30 minutes. How do you deal?
Scroll through Pinterest while pretending to listen.
Scroll through Instagram while pretending to listen.
Scroll through Amazon while pretending to listen.
Scroll through Facebook while pretending to listen.
4It's lunchtime. Someone ate your lunch. Of course they did. What do you do?
Use it as an excuse to buy food from my favorite joint down the street.
I think I’ve got a few snacks in my desk. I can get creative.
My bestie shares half of their lunch with me.
5There's no way the afternoon could be as good as the morning. In fact, you've got a meeting with your boss and you're pretty sure it's going to be good news. That is, until you walk in and you find out you dropped the ball on a major project. What do you say?
I’m sorry this fell apart, but I needed more support to make this project work.
Let’s see if we can think outside the box to find a solution.
There may be a way we can turn this into a positive. Here’s what I’m thinking…
6Ok, you've survived the meeting, you're back on track at work and you get a text from your boo cancelling plans for the evening. What will you do instead?
Screw this, I’m going shopping.
I’m going home and curling up with my furry pet and not moving.
I’ll probably make some art. That always makes me feel better.
Fine, I’ll go out with someone else.
7Even if you've got alternative plans in the works, it's still rude for your bae to cancel on you. What do you say to them?
I really wanted to spend time with you. Can we reschedule?
I’m honestly kind of angry right now.
You might have a good reason, but I’m having a bad day and don’t deserve this.
We were going to see that show together. Can we go another time?
8This day has reached completely epic proportions of awful. When you get home from work you're hunkering down into self care mode. What do you do to feel better?
Call my mom for a little bit of a pick me up.
Journal
Take my dog for a walk.
I write myself some cute reminders of why I’m awesome.
9Oh crap. You're trying to relax when you hear the sound of your dog doing their business inside the house. Grossssss. You clean it up. What now?
I’m done. I’m putting on some angry music and crying.
My only love has betrayed me. Dog is going outside until I can deal.
It’s officially time to give up on this day and go to bed.
10You've finally had something nice to eat, and you think the day might be over. Are you most looking forward to getting in to bed at the end of the day or waking up to a fresh start in the morning?
Going to sleep
Getting up
11The day is over! How do you lull yourself to sleep?
