We’re really out here trying to squeeze everything into these tiny 48-hr weekends. How do you prioritize your weekends between family/hobbies/chores?

Depends on your kids’ ages! My 4yo helps clean up the dishes after dinner and we do the rest of the chores after he’s in bed during the week. Then we do one chore together over the weekend (e.g., wash the car or vacuum the house). If he reads a book by himself he gets 1 hour of Minecraft with dad. Then the rest of the weekend is being outside or playing as much as possible. We try to take advantage of free activities like museum days and Home Depot workshop days. Most household items are on subscribe and save so all shopping is mainly grocery shopping. As for hobbies? Lol I’m a parent in advertising…

Do stuff together. The best Saturdays are just sitting in my kids’ playroom and enjoying them. If there’s stuff to do, get them involved. They just want to be a part of our lives, and I love seeing my kids connect the dots.

I always try to remember that, if you’re excited about something, your kid will be excited with you. So, read a book with them, draw a picture, build something, go to a museum or the zoo. We can all enjoy a hobby together, and it’s a little piece of you that you can give them.

Then, when they crash at the end of the day, that’s time for you to spend decompressing from the week (or working on a deck for Monday 🫣)

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?
