Hi Oddies,

So I was doom-scrolling on the internet the other day and I stumbled across this wild trend that's apparently taking over offices everywhere:

It's called ghostworking.

If you've ever walked around your office carrying a random notebook just to look important, or typed absolute nonsense just to make keyboard clicking sounds - congrats! You're …

Hi Oddies,

Jen Glantz here. In my free time, I read Reddit threads and stare at TikTok videos from people sharing how ChatGPT changed their lives.

It’s my version of reading a self-help book.

I usually walk away with 2-3 incredible ways that are mind blowing. That save me time, money, and energy,

Sharing some of the best of the best with you today!

Have you ever been told you look like a famous celebrity?

While most of us might get a comment here or there about resembling someone famous, few people turn that resemblance into a thriving career.

The only reason this newsletter exists is because I read a book that completely changed how I view life, work, and going after the most impossible goals.

It’s called Skip the Line by James Altucher. It’s a must-read and could become your guide book to kick the funk you’re in and get closer to success.

James became my mentor for a…

One of the perks of my late-night TikTok scrolling this week was coming across vides of people dumpster diving.

One woman, Glamour Dive, has two million followers, and goes around to different stores and spends quality times picking through the trash. Take a look at this example:

Ever wondered who those random people are in the acknowledgments of your favorite novels?

"Special thanks to Jane Smith for her invaluable insights into the world of actuarial science."

Turns out, Jane got paid to sit down and talk about spreadsheets for three hours.

A fact that lives rent-free in my head is that the average millionaire has 7 streams of income.

7!!

Most of us only have one, maybe two. I was a full-time job only kind of girl for a while, but then I got bored.

I also wanted to make more money and not rely on my boss giving me a tiny little 1-3% raise a year. So back in the da…

About 6 times a day, I find myself saying to anyone who will listen how much AI changed my life. It makes so many things easier, from brainstorming marketing strategies to even coming up with recipes for dinner based on the ingredients I have in my fridge.

But it can also be an awesome tool to help you find a job or start a busi…

My new nonfiction memoir just came out!

Finally the Bride

It’s about my journey trying to find love after walking down everyone else’s aisle as a hired bridesmaid for strangers.

Someone in your life will find this book a much-needed lol-worthy escape from reality. So I’m sharing the link to grab a copy of the book on Amazon (le…

Hi Oddies,

Did you know that some companies incentivize employees to be unofficial job recruiters for them?

They will tell employees:

Hey, if you refer someone from your network to an open job and we hire them, we’ll pay you a bonus.

It’s a great way to make a little cash. I never thought it was an actual side hustle until my friend sent me an article abou…

Hi Oddies,

The most popular question I get in my inbox is: how the heck do I work remotely?

Some people dig going into the office. Others dread it.

It feels like 2025 is the year a lot of companies are telling their employees that they need to come back into the office 4-5 days a week. My neighbor was telling me that this means she now has to commute 2-hou…

November is the kind of month where the pressure to open up our wallets begin. I browse my inbox every morning and see brands telling me that they already started their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.

Already? Yes.

Everyone is hunting for your disposable income this month.

I’m not.

Hi Oddies,

I like the end the year summarizing who the heck I became at the end of it. When we started 2024, we were a different version of ourselves than we are right now. Even if this year wasn’t memorable or was memorable, for odd reasons, you became someone different.

Why does that matter?

All the stuff that happened changed you and it …

Hi Oddies,

One thing about me is that I do not wait until the very last day of the year to get things done. I like to enter December feeling calm, which is unusal for me. I always look and feel like my life is in a frenzy.

Today I’m highlighting jobs for people who just don’t want to deal with small talk. Because the truth is, some people just want to go to work and do their job without hearing all about their coworker’s dating life.

Hi Oddies,

Jen Glantz here. I spend so much of my free time on Reddit. it’s my favorite social media platform out there. It’s empty of the vain BS you find on the other ones and filled with people just being honest about the oddest things.
