Roles worth your attention this week
Quick snapshot from the job board this week:
Twilio — Sr. Executive Assistant
$106,000–$156,300
Circana — Executive Assistant
$104,000–$124,800
Hims & Hers — Executive Assistant
$90,000–$110,000
These are pulled from the same system I use to track roles across 20+ platforms.
Instead of bouncing between LinkedIn, company sites, and random alerts, you can search everything in one place:
I realized something recently, I don’t actually work in my inbox anymore, I work in Slack.
That’s where decisions happen, where things move, where I’m actually getting things done.
But email still exists. And for some reason, I still feel the need to check it… constantly. Like something urgent is going to magically appear the second I stop looking… So I open it, and immediately regret it.
Because now I’m scrolling threads, trying to piece together context, figuring out what actually matters vs. what just looks important.
Meanwhile, everything that actually needs my attention is happening somewhere else.
At some point I was like, why am I doing this to myself?
Why am I still going to my tools, instead of setting things up so they come to me?
That’s what this issue is about!
Not “use AI more” or “be more productive,” but small shifts that actually change how you operate:
a simple prompt that turns your calendar into a daily briefing
a system that routes external emails directly into Slack so you don’t have to keep checking your inbox
Once you set this up, you don’t go back.
With love and lots of ☕️ coffee,

Stop checking your inbox
I’ve worked in tech companies where everything runs through Slack.
Requests come through Slack.
Decisions happen in Slack.
If something is moving, it’s happening in Slack.
But external communication still lives in email. Which means you end up doing this weird split all day, living in Slack, but constantly checking your inbox just in case something important comes through.
I hated that! So I stopped checking my inbox.
Instead, I set up a system that sends me a Slack message the second I receive an external email. Not just a notification, an actual breakdown of:
who it’s from
what it’s about
how urgent it is
and a suggested reply
So now everything shows up where I’m already working.
🙅🏻♀️ No tab switching.
🙅🏻♀️ No constant checking.
🙅🏻♀️ No missing anything important.
The setup itself is pretty straightforward:
a Gmail filter to catch external emails
a connection into Slack (you can do this natively or with Zapier/Make)
and an AI prompt that summarizes and drafts responses
I broke the full workflow down step-by-step, including the exact prompt.
Bonus: I also added a second prompt I use to triage emails even faster (this one’s been a game changer)

🎉 See It Live on April 1st
I’m hosting a live walkthrough of the Offsite Finder (Powered by Offsite) on April 1 at 12pm ET.
This isn’t just a demo, I’ll walk through how to go from:
“somewhere warm, good energy”
to an actual offsite plan your exec will approve.
We’ll cover:
how to quickly narrow down locations
what actually matters when choosing a spot (beyond vibes)
and how to turn a shortlist into a real plan you can execute on
If you’ve ever been stuck in the “where should we go?” loop, this will help.
♈ The Astro Report
Happy astrological New Year, we made it out of Pisces season (barely).
If the last few weeks felt foggy, slow, or just slightly cursed, you weren’t imagining it. Mercury retrograde definitely had an extra kick on the way out.
Now we’re in Aries season, and everything shifts.
Things feel clearer. Faster. There’s more energy to actually move, not just think about moving.
This is very much a reset moment. The past month showed what’s broken, what needs to change, and what can’t continue. Now it’s about what you do with that.
There’s momentum here, especially if you’re starting something new — a project, a system, even just a different way of working. But impatience is high, and not everything needs a reaction. Some things need a push. Some things need to be left behind.
The real work is staying consistent without burning out.
Cat breaks down what this shift means, where to focus your energy, and how to navigate the chaos without getting pulled into it:
