Today’s Focus

• Clear the four due-today payment/event tasks early: Smart payment, medical reimbursement, team-building allowance update, and the Kristi follow-up.
• Prepare for tomorrow’s Linden Suites venue visit. Agnes’s email confirms Thursday at 10:00 AM; confirm what you need to bring and the decisions you need from the visit.
• Verify two account-security/financial alerts: the MariBank PHP 515 ATM withdrawal and multiple NBI password-reset emails—especially if either was not initiated by you.
• Highest-leverage use of the day: complete the financial/admin commitments first, then protect time for the venue-visit prep.
