BUENOS DIAS
🤖 The gist
Ever wake up, get dressed, and log on to Slack...only to find out it's a holiday and no one's there?
It's like autopilot has betrayed you. But hey, at least you've got some extra time to catch up on things. Like the latest news in your industry or binge-watching HBO’s new hit show.
Speaking of news, have you heard about Meta's latest update? The mighty blue checkmark can now be had for the low price of $11.99 a month.
Of course, building a real career as a self-employed professional is a bit more challenging. So on a slow day like today, take some time for yourself. Relax, recharge, and maybe even pick up a book.
