tiny newsletter #161: work trip tips

hi hi,

how are you? i'm sleepy today, i've been traveling for work a lot lately. it's always 24-48 hours somewhere, a real drop in to meet with the client and drop out situation. 

i used to think work travel would be exciting. maybe even glam? now my goal is to get in and out asap without catching a cold. here's a few ways i make it a little more fun...

🍪 pack treats. psa - sad oatmeal packets aren't going to cheer you up once you get there. i stop by a bakery and get something sweet i know will perk me up at hr 4 of a mtg. 

📺 pick out a show. most of the time i'm editing a powerpoint at 10pm. having a fun tv show ready to go the second that's done helps. nothing hard hitting - go for love is blind. 

👢 wear the same things. no one notices, no one cares! just pick 1 or 2 ok-for-work outfits you know are comfortable enough to get through the trip and wear them every time. 

🤠 side quest if you can. i'm typically w my team/client but try to finagle a solo adventure if not (cute coffee shop / walk in a park counts). my next trip is to buffalo and my #1 goal is to come home w a butter lamb, lol.

got any other tips? send them back my way! 

💌 sending kind wishes for zero work trips in your near future. and that's the tiny letter! ty for reading, xoxo aud
