365 Days Of Marketing And Me: Day Sixty-Nine - 3/10/2021

One Creative Introvert’s Effort To Take On The Extroverted Marketing World…

Welcome to day number sixty-nine of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where I’m still working on the task that I started last week… that’s probably going to take the rest of the month for me to finish… though the work needs to be done… this isn’t the most fulfilling of tasks to working… making it hard for me to think up all that much to say about the process that I didn’t already cover in yesterday’s post…

I don’t want to just repeat myself over and over again for the next twenty days when sharing my marketing efforts to start off these posts… but I’m not sure how I plan to handle situations like this moving forward… I’m going to take another course today… just to make sure that I have something new to bring up tomorrow… but that can’t be my goto solution…

in the future… I may try to find one problem that I’m struggling with to focus on until I find a fix… before continuing on with any repetitive tasks that don’t drum up any insights… or find some other form of secondary task that’s worth writing about to avoid more entries that pretty much just state that yesterday was more of the same… which is… unfortunately… all that I managed to do today… aside from sharing a potential fix…

And with that… the marketing portion for today is done… now it’s time to share how I handled the theme from yesterday…

According to the 365 Days Of Marketing book… yesterday was Working Women’s Day… and as a kid raised by a single mom… I know at least one working woman rather well… in fact… she’s such a working woman that she’s already come out of retirement twice in the past year and a half… which actually makes me sad… because she’s well off now… and doesn’t need to work… at least that’s what she says…

I wish she would relax even just a little… and take up painting or gardening… the things she claimed she looked forward to doing if she had the time… but… her generation has her trained to work right into the grave… which is weird considering her parents stopped working at 55… it’s like she’s held onto their depression-era fears more than her parents at times…

To top it off… she keeps going back because her company refuses to high any young people to take over for the old folks… because they did away with training decades ago… which is probably why the youth of today is seen as useless by the elders who refuse to pass things down… but that’s more of a generational thing and not a women’s work thing… my dad was the same way… too busy working to provide for a family that neither one of them really got to see…

I hope this doesn’t come across and being anti-women in the workforce… my gripe is more with the industries that don’t pay well enough for families to have any time to bond… and overwork the underpaid which are usually the women raising kids… maybe people became more important than profit… we could live in a world where there was such a thing as work/family balance… which I would have loved coming from either parent…

With that I’m going to consider yesterday’s task to be half-assed complete… so now let’s see what the book has in store for today…

The 365 Days Of Marketing book says that today is Get Over It Day… and it couldn’t come at a better time… because… for one… I need to get over how I was raised… and there may be a few people who may need to get over something I may have said up above that was meant to be specific to my situation… and not meant to be taken as an all-encompassing complaint… we’ll have to wait to see which I decide to focus on when I check in with tomorrow’s post…

And now… to wrap it all up… below are my statistics for the last seven days… now complete with speed stats…
