Study Tips for Finals: A Productivity Guide That Actually Works
Not sure I’ve mentioned it here before, but my youngest is graduating in July. And by youngest, I mean my youngest sister. Seriously. For some reason whenever I say that, people assume I’m talking about my children. Do I look old enough to have children? I can’t be trusted with a pet goldfish at this point in my life — and children? I don’t think so. Anyway, my sister’s finals start on June 10th. We have holidays here in Turkey from the fifth, so there’s a bit of a delay. Her graduation’s in July, but she has to pass her courses first. So naturally, she’s been scouring the internet for…

How to Create Content in Our Brave New AI-Powered World
I’ll admit, it’s been a while since I’ve written any blogs related to AI — and there’s a whole bunch of reasons behind it. The most obvious? I’m super, super busy. The less obvious? I’ve quietly spent the last year actually learning how to use AI at work. And not just for writing industry insights either.

However, just because a blog title tells you what it’s about, doesn’t mean that your target audience is going to click on it.

Book Talk: What I Read in April
I know, I’m late this month. But in my defence, I had a mini work crisis: my manager quit suddenly, and I had to take over while we reorganised things. We’re slowly getting back on track and so, things are fine. For now. But that is work, and life. So, what can we do about it? For now, we look at what I read in April. I wasn’t exactly able to update my Goodreads account on time. I’m thinking of adding my reviews there immediately after I’m done. Not sure. I usually forget about Goodreads unless I’m actively doing something related to books on this blog. It’s a problem, I…
