How Gerald’s Chaotic Week Almost Destroyed Him (Freebie Inside!)

It’s Monday morning. Gerald is your average guy trying to survive life in the work-from-home trenches. His alarm didn’t go off (well, it did, but Gerald snoozed it six times), and he’s about to start his day in the most Gerald way possible: completely unprepared.

Here’s how his week went—and how it could have been saved with a little help from Voguegenics’ Free Resources.

Monday: A Pajama Party on Zoom

At 8:03 AM, Gerald stumbles into his home office, still wearing pajama bottoms with cartoon dinosaurs. His shirt reads, “Let’s Taco ‘Bout It,” which he thinks is “professional enough” for Zoom. His hair is doing its best impression of a bird’s nest, and his coffee cup? Now empty, thanks to a very unfortunate spill.

He logs onto Zoom late, camera on, mic muted. His boss is mid-sentence: “And Gerald will kick things off with his update.” Gerald freezes. His “update” is a blank document.

Solutions Gerald Could Have Used:

• Our “Morning Motivation Planner” to start his day right.
• Our “Weekly Planner” to actually know what he’s doing.

Tuesday: The Grocery Store Gauntlet

After surviving Monday, Gerald decides to treat himself to a gourmet meal. But first, he needs groceries. Armed with zero plan and a growling stomach, he heads to the store and fills his cart with chips, frozen pizza, and a family-sized cheesecake. By checkout, he’s spent $97.35—and forgot the one thing he actually needed: coffee.

Solutions Gerald Could Have Used:

• Our “Meal Prep Planner” for organized grocery shopping.
• Our “Checklists” to remember the coffee.

Wednesday: A Budget in Shambles

Gerald checks his bank app during his lunch break, and it’s not good. His balance is so low it looks like a typo. He scrolls through his spending history:

• $14.87 for premium avocado toast delivery.
• $89.99 for a “Zen” candle shaped like a llama.
• $32.14 on mystery Amazon purchases.

The sad realization hits: Gerald is broke.

Solutions Gerald Could Have Used:

• Our “Budgeting Made Easy Template” to track spending.
• Our “To-Do Lists” to prioritize financial sanity.

Thursday: Calendar Chaos

Thursday morning starts with a frantic text from his sister: “Don’t forget Mom’s birthday dinner tonight!” Gerald forgot. Again. He spends his lunch break panic-buying flowers from the corner store and Googling “last-minute gift ideas that don’t scream last minute.”

Meanwhile, his car inspection appointment gets missed, he double-books a meeting, and he forgets to RSVP for his niece’s dance recital.

Solutions Gerald Could Have Used:

• Our “Event Planner Template” to organize his calendar.
• Our “Daily Affirmations” to remind himself he’s trying his best.

Friday: Productivity Black Hole

By Friday, Gerald’s to-do list has evolved into a to-don’t list. His desk is buried under papers, snack wrappers, and one sock (where’s the other one?). His inbox has 142 unread emails, and his boss has sent three “friendly reminders” about a project due yesterday.

Gerald sighs, takes another sip of coffee (his third cup), and wonders if it’s too late to fake a power outage.

Solutions Gerald Could Have Used:

• Our “Productivity Tracker” to stay on top of tasks.
• Our “Journals” to reflect on what went wrong.
