It’s not always spam filling your inbox, it’s the newsletters and updates we subscribed to and forgot about. Before you know it, the important stuff gets buried. The tip I’ll share is very simple and liberating ;-)

“Punished” for Making the Choice?

Since I opted out of Instagram allowing Meta to use my public posts, comments and interactions for AI training, my content views have been dropping by over 1,000 each month. I have not changed my posting habits, in fact I have been more active on Stories, but engagement has collapsed.

This is not just me. UK data shows the same pattern:
• DMG Media (MailOnline, Metro, The i) reported up to an 89% decline in click-through rates because of AI-powered summaries and algorithm changes (CMA, July 2025).
• Authoritas found UK publishers lost 47.5% in desktop click-through rates and four-fifths of their Google traffic when AI overviews appear.
• Under regulatory pressure, Meta and LinkedIn paused using UK user data for AI training.

But what does that really mean? It means they temporarily stopped feeding UK users’ posts, comments and interactions into their AI systems while regulators review the rules. On paper, that should not directly affect the algorithm that decides who sees your content.

Yet here is the reality. If you opt out, your data is no longer in the training pipeline. The algorithm does not learn from your activity in the same way, and your content is not fed back into the systems that drive distribution. Platforms will not say you are being punished, but the outcome is the same. You lose algorithmic support and your reach drops dramatically. My own numbers prove it.

By giving users a choice, platforms comply with privacy regulations, but the harsh reality is that opting out means losing algorithmic support, leading to dramatically lower reach and engagement. And the evidence from these sources proves it.

For me personally, this is not a crisis. I do not rely on social media to bring in clients, so I can afford to choose privacy. But imagine the businesses that live and breathe by the algorithm, where every click, like and view affects survival.

Here is the truth. If you think playing by the rules protects you, it does not. The algorithm is never really on your side. Securing your privacy comes with a price, and each of us has to decide what matters most.

Warning: VA Swoosh creates freedom addicts.

Be careful. Once you taste what it’s like to have a VA handling your chaos, you’ll never go back. Seriously… don’t risk it unless you’re ready.

Have you ever had one of those days where you proofread an email five times, feel like everything is perfect, and then boom, “Please lick the link” instead of “click”?

Of course I’m guilty of this. Guilty. Typos like these probably happen more often in text messages than in emails, thank God for edit options. Even the most careful eyes miss things sometimes. We’re all human, and at least the mistakes make for good laughs.
Have I missed anything here? Comment your typos below.

Social media is everywhere, but what are we really getting from it?

• Nearly 80% of the UK population is active online in 2025.
• Over 48% of users say it negatively affects their sleep.
• 40% of adults admit it makes them feel lonely or isolated.
• 58% of Gen Z have experienced cyberbullying.
• 83% feel pressured to appear perfect online.

Social media can be a powerful tool, but it’s also a space that can distort self-worth, encourage comparison, and even create addictive behaviours.

How do you approach social media in your personal and professional life? Do you focus on engagement, connection, or something else entirely? How do you maintain healthy boundaries for yourself and others?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I’ve always admired Apple for making fast, efficient, and reliable products, qualities that matter deeply in my work.

But one design choice drives me crazy: the Magic Mouse’s charging port is on the bottom, which means when it dies, I have to stop working.
Initially, this felt like the opposite of what Apple stands for.

Now, I see it differently. That forced pause is a subtle reminder to step away, reset, and come back sharper.
It’s a small frustration, but a powerful lesson: sometimes the interruptions we resist most help us work smarter, not just faster.

I used to get really upset when I saw the low battery reminder. Now, I smile and cheer…it’s a well-deserved break.

How do you handle unexpected work interruptions?

Growing administrative workloads are becoming a serious issue across organisations in the UK and beyond. Experts call it an “administrative overload tornado” because new policies, tasks, and processes are piling up much faster than staff and resources can keep pace. This is not just a nuisance. When admin teams are overburdened, they are forced into trade-offs, cutting corners or dropping important tasks, which ultimately risks effectiveness and stakeholder outcomes.

That is where I can help. As a virtual assistant, I can take on the repetitive, time-consuming admin that is draining your day.

Ever feel like you need an emergency button? Running a business can be overwhelming with non-stop messages, pitches, advice, and opinions coming at you from every direction.
What you should or what you should not do.
Even when you know what you want and stay focused, it’s easy to feel like screaming.
The key is not letting that overwhelm take over. Take a breath, refocus, and keep your eyes on what truly matters. And if it helps, take a moment to scream or cry out of frustration, I do both 😂😂😂 then dust yourself off and shine.
