Every time I try to have my morning coffee as a…

Who should use it ~ Anyone whose day gets interrupted ~ beauty and hair ("can you fit me in at 1pm?"), mums, VAs, planners

Why it's working ~ A reality check everyone has lived ~ you go to pour, and every interruption hits you from off-screen with the words on it.

  1. Put your hook on screen: "Every time I try to have my morning coffee as a [job]…"
  2. Stand at the bench and go to pour your coffee
  3. Get someone off camera to throw a cushion or a ball at you, one throw per interruption
  4. Put each interruption on screen as it hits ~ 5 is plenty, the more specific the better
  5. Cut each throw on the beat of the Hollaback Girl drop, or use the template on the audio page (phone only)

Sharing my ___ stats like a Strava post

Who should use it ~ Anyone whose day is a workout ~ salons, mums, planners, trades, VAs, anyone on their feet or on their phone all day

Why it's working ~ Your workday as a Strava flex ~ the specific numbers are the joke, and people tag the colleague with the same stats.

Trend example
  1. Prop your phone on the floor pointing up, or film from the ceiling view like the original
  2. Put your hook on screen: "Sharing my [job] stats like a Strava post"
  3. Drop onto your back, arms out, like you've just finished a marathon
  4. Freeze on the last frame and add STRAVA in bold, then 5 or 6 stats in a list
  5. Use real numbers and keep one stat that's a lie everyone tells ("Lunch break: allegedly")
  6. No audio needed, or a slow sad song for the drama
