From: Director of Self Love
To: All Departments
Subject: Pilot Initiative – Departmental Me Day

Effective immediately, the Department of Self Love will trial a new initiative: Me Day.

Rationale: While output remains steady across offices, a recent audit shows signs of over-functioning, under-celebrating, and chocolate-related shortages. To ensure sustainable operations, each department will be allocated one (1) Me Day to execute at its discretion.

Objectives:

  • Encourage departments to prioritise individual wellbeing.
  • Surface creative approaches to rest and celebration.
  • Establish whether “me time” contributes to long-term organisational resilience.

All offices are invited to propose their Me Day strategies. Selected extracts from the #me-day-pilot channel are attached below.

#me-day-pilot

Body Relations: Can confirm, no pedicures yet (doctor's orders until the foot heals). But the grey hair — something must be done.

Nourishment & Energy: 🍫 If Me Day doesn’t include chocolate, I’m filing a grievance.

Emotional Wellbeing: Proposal: skip chores for 24 hours. Can you handle it, Director?

Productivity & Purpose: Still waiting for you to properly celebrate that graduation and GPA of 6.75. Current recognition levels: unacceptable.

Self Discovery: What about doing something solo? Café, film, park. It’ll feel weird, which means it’s worth it.

Onboarding: Reminder: please document everything. If it isn’t written down, it didn’t happen.

Next Steps:

  • Proposals will be reviewed this week.
  • Approved initiatives will be scheduled for implementation.
  • Post-Me Day reports will be collected and analysed for ROI (Return on Indulgence).

End of memo.

Sincerely,
Director of Self Love
Trialling joy in controlled conditions.
