    How I Learned to Do More Work By Cleaning My House

    If you were to ask me what I hate doing more than anything, I’d say, without hesitation, that it’s obviously cleaning my house. Just come on in on a random Tuesday afternoon to take a look at my office to see my random piles and the dust that seems to be accumulating everywhere. I’m a […]

    How to Do Social Video with Little to No Work

    First off, I want to make it clear: Great social video takes work. It takes a lot of time and effort. But not many of us have the time to be great. It sounds terrible to say, but it’s just a fact. And unfortunately, video is getting to more feeds than anything else, so it’s […]

    What I Am Reading 2/25/23

    Yes, this post is a day late. I would like to thank my daughter who got sick all over my laptop a couple of days ago, and yup… That means I am currently writing this on a new shiny laptop while the fate of my old one is being decided. I would also like to […]

    Why More Followers Should Never Be Your Goal

    As I’m rebuilding my business after my maternity leave, I often look at ads for social media consultants. Too often in those ads there is the same statement: “Must get X followers by the end of the year,” and every time I shudder. These people are just asking to be scammed. But worse is that […]

    How to Work When You’re Emotional

    I’m admittedly a person with big feelings. You might even go so far as to say I’m an empath. I take a lot in, which can be a total asset. It makes me actually feel what our social media communities feel. However, it means that I can also get emotional. Sometimes about random things. If […]

    What I Am Reading 2/17/23

    It has been a week for me of illness and trying to muddle through. I think we all have these weeks. Unfortunately, it significantly shortened the amount of time I had for reading (there’s nothing like a snuggly baby who wants to ninja kick your book away). But I did get some in. Reading Social […]

    Weekly Results 2/15/23

    I’m going to keep this week’s results post a little shorter than usual, because I simply don’t want to dwell on what didn’t happen. The long and the short of it was that I hurt my back on Wednesday evening while cleaning and cooking. You would think I would rest after that, but nope. I […]

    The Perfectionism Problem on Social Media

    We have heard so many times about how the perfectionism on social media is harming our mental health. It’s to the point that people are getting plastic surgery to look like Instagram filters. It’s a serious problem and there is thankfully a movement to combat it with the realities of their life, and I frankly […]

    Just Say No to Extra Twitter Characters

    Elon Musk is throwing the book at Twitter Blue to try to get people to purchase it. The latest? A whole 4,000 Twitter characters if you become a subscriber. Four. Thousand. Characters. For someone who likes to write long form and not be constrained by these character limits, it’s probably enticing. But this is in […]

    From story time to work time, reading is just a constant for me. Let’s take a look at what has been a hit for me lately. Reading Social Media News I have been talking with friends about AI a lot, both in how it can help and how it will be misused. So this week […]
