Shorter work week which meant some good opportunities to both recharge and live. Most of the work week was spent starting to formulate my vision and thoughts for the email team, after reviewing briefings. Enjoying the heat at a festival, whilst cooling down by watching A LOT of TV.

Work

Time in meetings: 10.3hr. 3 day working week.

  • Digital engagement review: Pulling together my messy notes, and producing a review & recommendations to better streamline our email marketing strategy for more impact.
  • Paper writing: Much of Thursday was spent writing 2x papers for headcount in the team.
  • Reactive pressure: We've hit our usual crunch before the summer holidays, with many big projects going live, and large amounts of people on leave. A lot of this week spent putting out fires and managing expectations for projects.
