Emails, Errands & Existential Crises:

A Day in the Life

Hey friends, Ever wondered what it’s like to be a Growth Lead Consultant in tech, fueled by caffeine, context switching, and the occasional cat-on-keyboard moment?

Well, buckle up. Whether I’m working from my home office or embarking on The Weekly Commute, a one-hour odyssey into the heart of surfer's paradise, my days are an unpredictable mix of KPIs, cute animals, and quarter-life pondering.

Here’s a peek behind the curtain:

7:30 AM – The Great Awakening

Blade and Rukia ensure no alarm clock is needed. One's politely wagging for breakfast, the other’s aggressively patting my face like I forgot to file a report.

Cue: Coffee. Lots of it. First existential question of the day: Is caffeine a personality trait or just a coping mechanism?

8:30 AM – Inbox Infinity

I kick off the day by triaging my inbox like a digital ER nurse. Flag the follow-ups, star the hot leads, and scroll past the third “quick catch-up” email from someone trying to sell me something they haven’t researched.

Excel is open. Apollo is humming. HubSpot’s blinking at me like it knows I forgot to log that one call.

10:00 AM – Snack Break (or so I thought)

What starts as a five-minute kitchen detour for cashews turns into a 20-minute debate with myself about productivity guilt and whether I should start a LinkedIn post or just vacuum.

Meanwhile, Rukia knocks over my water bottle to signal her disapproval of my time management.

11:30 AM – Dialing into Destiny

Call blitz time. I channel my inner podcast host and hit my call targets, 25 warm, cold-ish, or “they said maybe last week” conversations. One client asks for a proposal. Another ghosted me. Classic Tuesday.

Blade barks mid-pitch. Client laughs. Ice broken. Deal progresses. Add “Pet-assisted pipeline progress” to my LinkedIn skills.

1:00 PM – Deep Work & Deeper Thoughts

Post-lunch slump? Not here. I dive into admin, lead tracking, and proposal prep with the intensity of someone trying to outrun their to-do list.

But of course, no quiet moment is complete without a mental detour: Should I be saving more? What would Blade do if he ran a sales team?

By the time I hit “Send” on that last client email, I’ve solved nothing… except maybe my follow-up sequence.

3:00 PM – On-Site Flow

Office days are a flurry of back-to-backs, impromptu brainstorms, and someone always bringing snacks (bless them). I thrive on the energy, but by 4:30pm I’m ready to trade my blazer for a blanket.

6:00 PM – Decompression + Debrief

Back home. Hair in a bun. Emails checked one last time. Flock messages sent. Pipeline updated. KPI sheet ticked off. Existential crisis postponed ‘til Thursday.

Blade is snoring. Rukia is staring at the wall like it insulted her ancestors. I pour a glass of wine (or tea, depending on the budget), and that’s a wrap.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)

Work isn’t always sexy. It’s rhythm, rituals, and the rare high-fives when a demo goes well or a lead warms up. It’s balancing ambition with boundaries, and knowing when to pause for snacks or sanity.

So if your day ever feels like a quirky sitcom with too many tabs open, same here. You’re not alone in the chaos.

Til next time, Skye ☕💼🐾
