by So today I flipped open my trusty notebook around 7 AM, mug of coffee already half gone – the usual startup. Scrolled through my usual feed and bam, saw that headline about Friday, May 23rd horoscopes, money, and work stuff. Figured, hey, why not dive in? Been trying to keep up with these daily cosmic nudges anyway, just to see if anything sticks.
Digging Into My Sign
First things first, grabbed my phone and pulled up the details. I’m a Taurus, so I hunted for that section. Scanned it quick. Money part jumped out – something vague about unexpected resources showing up if I stayed open. Work tip mentioned tackling neglected tasks. Honestly? Sounded generic, but decided to keep it in mind. Wrote down the key points for Taurus right there in my notebook with a blue pen. Just scribbled: “Taurus: $$ surprises? Open mind. Work: Do the boring stuff.”
Putting the Money Tip to Work
Alright, the “unexpected resources” bit. What did that even mean for a Thursday? Decided to twist it. Went through my bank app and a couple of bills I’d been ignoring. Found a small subscription I totally forgot about! Canceled it immediately. Felt like finding five bucks in an old coat. Later, when checking emails, I noticed an old invoice for a freelance gig I thought was lost. Sent a polite follow-up. Fingers crossed! Small actions, but maybe that’s the “resource” thing? Felt proactive.
What I did money-wise:
- Cancelled that dumb $4.99/month app subscription I never use anymore.
- Sent a reminder email about an invoice that’s a month overdue.
- Checked my wallet and actually put the loose cash into my savings jar instead of letting it vanish.
Hitting the Work Advice
The “tackle neglected tasks” work tip hit closer to home. My desk? Pure chaos. Paper pile, random notes, half-finished lists. Definitely neglected. Set a timer for 25 minutes – just commit to that. Sorted the physical pile first: trash, file later, act now. Filed three things immediately. Then opened my task manager. That “Later” section I always skip? Full of tiny, annoying tasks like “update software X” or “reply to Y about Z date”. Knocked out five quick ones in maybe 10 minutes. Felt way lighter just getting that junk done.
Work stuff I actually cleared:
- Slogged through updating my graphic design software – took way less time than I feared.
- Responded to two emails I’d been putting off because they felt awkward (they weren’t).
- Organized the physical receipts mess on my desk into one neat folder (for now).
Looking Back Before Knocking Off
Around 5 PM, glanced back at my notebook. Didn’t magically find money growing on a tree or get a massive promotion, obviously. But cancelling the subscription felt like a win, getting that invoice reminder sent felt good, and blasting through those little work tasks? Massive relief. The horoscope gave me a tiny nudge to actually do stuff I probably should be doing anyway but usually skip. Maybe the “cosmic advice” is just a mirror sometimes, showing you what you already need to do. Grabbed a beer after logging off. Overall, decent Friday experiment. Not revolutionary, but useful. Would probably peek at another day’s tips tomorrow.
