See admin work as the door to fun

With my new design job it requires mood meetings and client meetings and setting up docs and getting invoices situated and confirming deadlines — all things I absolutely hate. The fun stuff all begins after the admin work is done. For me, mentally I’ve learned to see it as the work that opens the door to the fun part of the job which is the design and sketching and brainstorming and visioneering. I think something that’s helped me is understanding that if I do the admin work well it actually sets me up to do better with the rest of my work. For you it might be like “Oh if I ship these packages out I can start designing the next thing” or “If I make this call it’ll give me clarity on the next task.” The only other solution is, if you’re able to, hire out that admin role. It’s $$$ but for some people getting that sorted opens the door for them to take on more work that they can do well. Our design team has an admin that soon will handle all the tedious tasks and then my brain can focus 100% on creativity as opposed to 25% admin and 75% creativity.

loudly being from the midwest

BEST COAST NO COAST (technically wrong because we have THE LARGEST BODY OF FRESH WATER IN THE WORLD). We're stereotyped as being nice; our signature dishes are all things that make you feel more full than a grain silo at the end of the harvest season; the great lakes are beautiful; supper clubs; 4 seasons superiority; relatively mild natural disasters; endless list of artists, musicians, generally successful and prolific people from the midwest; natural wonders galore (driftless region, boundary waters, apostle islands, etc.); eccentric culture and lifestyle; the list goes on and on. I love being from Wisconsin, and I will never feel bad about it.

Goo gone

Good for getting that weird sticky dust buildup off of your counters and for old sticker residue. That goo is indeed gone

Turnip cake

It's my favorite thing to get at dim sum! Crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside—it's a perfect vessel for chili oil and hoisin sauce. Wash it down with hot tea after, of course
