🌿 Sunday Reset

No formal work meetings today — a good day to recharge before a packed week starting Monday. You have brunch with Beki & Tonyia at Vida Verde (8:30–10:30). A new Google Play Accelerator squad connection arrived in your inbox and needs a reply. Post-GDC follow-ups are still fresh — use any downtime to chip away.
