You showed up before the doors officially opened. Before the campaign started, before the posts hit Instagram or TikTok. You said, "yes" when there wasn't much to point to except a name and a promise. My thank-you gift to you: 🎁 Lifetime VIP access. 🎁 Every Premium Quest, every live Trail Talk, every paid resource. Free, for as long as you're here. Permanent. No renewal, no expiration. New members joining VIP tier in the months and years ahead will pay $49 a month for the same access. You won't. That distinction is yours.

Has any here heard of body doubling? I am not that familiar with it. But if I understand it correctly, it is where 2 or more people work "next" to each other, although not neccessarily on the same task. Here is what google says on the topic: ADHD body doubling is a productivity strategy where another person is present—in-person or virtually—while an individual with ADHD works on tasks. This technique helps anchor attention, increase accountability, and reduce distraction, making it easier to start and complete boring or overwhelming tasks. It acts as a form of "grown-up parallel play" to help manage focus. (There was more to the response but if I posted it, you may not get far into reading, TLDR). Although I don't have ADHD, I often lack motivation and/or discipline to work like I should or need to grow my business that is much needed. This is all to say, does anyone want to be my accountability buddy? I did this 25 yrs ago before I ever heard that term to work with people all over country to get housework done. It was wonderful.

If you've got a minute, check out some of the changes in our Community. I've updated the About page to reflect a broader focus. Previously, I was focusing mostly on a teen/young adult audience, but I'm finding that adults of all ages are expressing interest in the planned content for the community, so I'm responding to that. We're ALL in this together, and this content is for all of us. In the near future, you'll see some content on Sourdough Bread baking. This may not be "flagship" adulting, career management, financial literacy content, but it's one of my most frequents asks. So you can watch for some courses, posts, videos... whatever I can get out there. I hope to schedule some live events as well! I've moved Financial Literacy and Career Management content into the "Total Cost of Adulting" course, but we'll still have separate discussion channels for those topics. And finally - I've got a web page up! Skool is still the primary site where all of the community happens, but you can share prpljennifer.com with friends and family to help them learn more about what PrplJennifer is all about, and bring them to the community. Let me know what you think! And don't forget to login, introduce yourself, and start earning XP so that you can reach level 3 and access the Home Maintenance Checklist!

Malware pretending to be Windows Defender is making the rounds (again) recently, and if you're not prepared it can be rather alarming. Here's what happens. You're minding your own business, browsing the internet on your computer. Suddenly, the screen changes and a large message pops up, informing you that Windows Defender has locked your computer for your own protection because of malware. In order to unlock your computer, you must either provide login credentials or call the number listed multiple times on the screen. Some of these attacks also manage to lock your mouse so that it truly looks like you're locked out. This is actually a website using a full-screen pop-up "ad." Here's what you do if you see this: 1) Check to see if your keyboard works. If it does, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and choose Task Manager 2) When Task Manager opens, find the process for your browser (mine is Chrome). Right click and choose END TASK. 3) Your browser will close and you'll have full control of your computer. 4) When you relaunch your browser, it may ask if you want to restore your session. DO NOT RESTORE YOUR SESSION! Just close that window without accepting the option. 5) Once you return to your browser, CLEAR YOUR COOKIES AND CACHE. If you've got a timeframe allowable, choose at least the last hour, if not the last 24-hours. If your keyboard is not working and you can't get to the Task Manager, press and hold your power button until the computer shuts down. Then you can restart and start at step 4, above. Stay ever vigilant! NEVER enter login credentials for something like this. NEVER call the number presented to you on the screen. If you are unsure, go to your phone or another browser resource and look up the number (in this case, you'd Google Microsoft Support) and use THAT number. Good luck!
