What's Up
Hello, 
 
When was your last oil change? Are you overdue?
 
You should also 'change the oil' of your WordPress website. There have been new WP and plugin updates announced recently. If you are a quarterly website maintenance client of mine, you need not worry. WordPress website maintenance refers to the process of checking and updating the website software and plugins to ensure they function properly and are up-to-date with the latest technology and security updates.
 
Do you need your website updated or have any other page updates that need attention? Reply now - December 1st marks the next quarterly update.
 
Below you'll find a quick tip when working with Google Docs/Drive, and inbox zero method of working. 
 
My next email also will arrive on Dec 1 - So I'd like to wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving. Embrace the frenzy, savor the laughter, and find magic in these fleeting, beautiful moments!
 
āœŒļø, Melanie
 
PERSONAL BUSINESS
Inbox Zero.
I have used the inbox zero method for over 25 years (since dial-up 😬). Embracing a simpler, distraction-free life starts with taming the email beast. Aim for the elusive inbox zero by dealing with emails promptly and filing them away. My inbox is like a VIP section—reserved for emails needing a response or some action on my part. I even shoot myself reminder emails for tasks I'm at risk of forgetting. Get fancy with filters for automatic sorting and consider a second email account for subscriptions (that inbox is a free-for-all zone āš ļø). Living minimally in real life has been an active conscious change for about 6 years or so. More on that in future emails.
DID YOU KNOW?
Seasonal Confusion.
The clock says it's 4:30 pm; why is it suddenly as dark as a bat cave? Seasonal confusion is a real thing. I'm not exactly sold on the whole "autumnal equinox" narrative. You'll find me over here, contemplating life with three layers on or at the gym tanning booth. All while waiting for my internal thermostat to sync up with the calendar. It's a saga of layers, light, and internal temperature struggles. I'm determined not to let the premature darkness steal my soul.
 
BYE FOR NOW,
-Melanie
PS: Do you want to keep me a secret? I mean I'd prefer you tell everyone about me… BUT I do also offer white label design services, I could be your magic weapon behind the scenes. You can take all the credit, your clients (or boss) don't need to know how you get it all done.
