Show Up as a Strategic Thinker in Your 1:1s

Takeaways:

  • Most employees treat 1:1s as status updates instead of strategy sessions (a missed opportunity).

  • When asked "What's going on?", a tactical employee says, "All good—just the usual." A strategic one says, "I've hit a blocker on my main project but have a solution I'd like to run by you."

  • If your boss brings you an urgent request involving a coworker, a strategic employee says, "I'm happy to help. I also want to note the last time Sam brought us one of these requests, it required a lot of resources for a small ROI. I want to make sure we're zooming out and looking at the broader business objectives." A tactical employee just says "Oh okay, I can jump in."

SPIRITUALITY

Tap Into the Consciousness in Everything Around You

Takeaways:

  • Everything carries energy, so speaking to it can shift how you relate to it.

  • Even your bank account. If it's empty, talk to it! The consciousness of money is supportive, not greedy. You can send it love the same way you send kindness to your heart when you say, "Thank you for being strong after everything we've been through."

  • If you want to feel grounded, talk to the earth beneath you. Ask your water to cleanse you, your food to nourish you, and your environment to support you. It may sound woo-woo, but channeling energy with intention is a powerful form of positive psychology.

FINANCIAL WELLNESS

Raise Your Credit Score With One Quick Call

Takeaways:

  • Credit bureaus allow you to update your identity information and dispute any inquiries that can't be verified. Calling early in the day can help you get through faster.

  • You can request that any unauthorized or unverifiable hard inquiries be reviewed by using clear, direct language like: "I'm calling to update my identity information due to recent data breaches and to verify all inquiries on my report."

  • After confirming your information, follow up with written dispute letters for items you believe are inaccurate. Staying proactive is one of the best ways to protect your credit health and keep your report clean.

What We Actually Use to Keep Our Sh*t Together

We've tested a lot of project management platforms, but monday.com is the one we keep coming back to. It's flexible without being overwhelming, visual without being chaotic, and customizable in a way that actually supports how modern teams work.

At The Assist, we use it as our central hub, from first brainstorm to final deliverable. Our editorial workflow lives entirely in monday.com: we kick off with a shared board for content ideas, tag teammates to build outlines, assign deadlines, and move each piece through custom statuses like "drafting," "under review," and "ready to schedule." Everyone knows what's happening, who's responsible, and what's coming next.

It's also how we track campaign launches, sponsor deadlines, cross-functional planning, and internal OKRs. We use automations to send nudges, switch owners, and update timelines so nothing falls through the cracks. Plus, views like timeline, Kanban, and calendar let us toggle between the big picture and daily priorities.

It's the reason we rarely ask "who's doing what" anymore,  and why we're getting more done with less stress.

We even pulled together a guide based on our real-life setup—brainstorms, deadlines, deliverables, and all—so you can skip the trial-and-error and get your team up and running fast.

BEAUTY TIP

Choosing Pink or Brown Concealer

Takeaways:

  • Both pink and brown concealers correct, but they create different finishes.

  • Brown neutralizes and cancels out dark circles, giving a natural everyday look.

  • Pink brightens dull or gray tones, lifting the under eye and giving a more polished, glam finish.
