Woke up early today and grabbed my phone like always. Saw the daily horoscope pop-up for Leo – “Make Smart Moves and Avoid Trouble Today”. Thought to myself, alright, let’s actually try following this advice for once.
Morning Moves
First smart move? Didn’t hit snooze. Rolled straight outta bed instead of wasting 20 minutes. Made strong coffee and actually wrote down three important things to finish before lunch:
- Reply to that overdue client email
- Clear out flooded inbox
- Prep documents for 2PM meeting
Midday Drama Dodging
Around 11AM, my coworker Mike started bitching about the new project manager. Normally I’d jump right into gossip mode, but remembered “avoid trouble” part. Just nodded and said “Uh-huh” while walking straight to the break room. Smartest escape ever – later heard they got into a shouting match.
Took my lunch break OUTSIDE instead of eating at desk. Sunshine felt good. Avoided Karen who always complains about her kids’ soccer practice. Smart move.
Afternoon Temptations
Big test came at 3PM. Boss offered overtime on the messy Thompson account. My wallet said YES but gut said “that’s trouble”. Remembered last time I took overtime – worked weekends for a month. Politely said no. Boss looked surprised but respected it. Felt like dodging a bullet.
Evening Wins
Came home dead tired but didn’t crash on couch. Smart move – changed into workout clothes immediately. Did just 20 minutes yoga but felt awesome. Then cooked actual dinner instead of ordering pizza. Small wins count right?
Final smart move? Turning off Netflix at 10:30PM. Usually binge till midnight then regret it. Writing this now in bed feeling like I actually adulted today. Horoscope got it right for once – making smart little choices really does keep trouble away.
