What I'd Do Today If I Were You
◻
Review Pacific Goods contract before Friday auto-renewal. Their current terms are 12% below market on shipping. You have leverage — their Q4 was weak. Call at 11:30 is your window.
◻
Send Q1 docs to accountant. 3 days overdue. Tax filing deadline is May 15 — accountant needs 3 weeks minimum. Today is the last comfortable day.
◻
Give Jess the green light on the warehouse hire. She has two strong candidates. Every week of delay costs ~$4K in overtime for current team.
◻
Ella's soccer pickup is at 6, not 5:30. Coach sent schedule update Saturday. You have an extra 30 minutes.

Chief of Staff Notes
The Pacific Goods contract and warehouse capacity are connected. If you lock in better shipping terms, the margin improvement buys you 60-90 days before the warehouse decision becomes urgent. Sequence matters: contract first, warehouse second.
David Chen's revenue ask isn't just a board update — he mentioned "strategic options" in his last email. He may be teeing up an acquisition conversation. Worth preparing for that angle in the deck.
