- Fun things first – here is my new mani! Those are leaf stickers under the gold leaf on my middle and ring finger.
- I feel crazy saying this, but being so busy at work, while exhausting, gave me a large sense of purpose. The intensity just needed to go down a notch.
- Last week when I was running that all day meeting I kept using “f/u” to mean follow-up and was snickering in my head about another thing f/u could mean. Buah ha ha. It’s the small things that keep me going, folks.
- I think my fave keyboard trick I’ve learned this year is ctrl+shift+v for pasting without formatting. This is LIFE CHANGING. How did I not know about it until now?! It’s saved me SO MUCH TIME!
- Some of my coworkers don’t understand why we’d want to use ChatGPT. I always tell them it’s to help me make writing go faster and here’s a perfect example. I sound way too casual in my work emails and appreciated the corporate jargon (I used some of it).
- I helped one of my coworker’s use ChatGPT to make something more concise and she said “Kim – I think I may like this program.” Heck yeah, girl (ha, I think that was my exact response to her).
I can relate to every single bullet point this week except the f/u one.
I’m trying to remember I’m lucky to be this busy again (and it makes the days go way quicker) but it is very overwhelming at the moment.
Learned that same keyboard trick this week!!
Was just telling Christina how much I’ve been using Google Lens for work lately! SOOOO helpful!
Also, cute nails! I might get some press on ones this weekend. lol
It’s such a hard thing to do when you feel so overwhelmed! We’ve got this though! I believe in you!
Ha! Amazing. Isn’t that trick so so helpful? Especially for those of us who are formatting conscious.
Yay! I am glad it’s been helping you. Saves so much time. And we need to save time (see above LOL).
Thanks! Did you get any press ons?
Hee hee…I write f/u in my work notes all the time. I mean, if I had the time to write out “follow up” then I would just f/u on whatever it is and not have to have a list.
Um…THANK YOU for ctrl-shift-v. I look forward to saving time myself.
Making a note to use ChatGPT the next time that I need to write a FTW email at work.
So so true! Ha!
You’re welcome! You are going to love it.
Let me know when you use it. I find it so helpful.
Every time I write f/u as “follow up” on my to-do list, I giggle to myself. Glad we’re on the same wavelength here.
ChatGPT has saved my life SO MANY TIMES. Yesterday I was trying to write an email and everything came out so jumbled so I just copy and pasted the paragraph into ChatGPT and was like “make me sound more professional plzzzzz.” And of course it did!
I have not heard of the ctrl-shift-v trick! This will be super helpful when I’m pasting things from ChatGPT – full circle moment!
We completely are!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. So glad it helped! I just used it to help me with what to say to kickoff a meeting (about the topic I referenced in my post). So so helpful!
