I'm not a journalist any more, but because I mention that I used to be a journo on my website, my email address has ended up on press release lists.
The really annoying bit is that most press releases don't have an unsubscribe option, which means having to email to get removed from the list.

I never relish going out to events; it's not a habitat that feels naturally comfortable...but I always enjoy it when I do force myself/make the effort.
This was a really interesting discussion around women's careers in property. Barriers/journeys and plenty of tips.

Creating videos in a TikTok style - you know the kind of thing - doesn't suddenly make dull content interesting. It’s still style over substance. Create less, but create better.

So, a bit of the park opposite my flat is being dug up - drilling through the pavement. And there are workmen in my block of flats doing fire safety upgrades in the communal areas, ripping stuff, hammering etc.

When is too early to send a work email? I certainly don't expect a reply, it's more about getting stuff done at my end. But also don't want to add to stress/pressure.

This 👇. Writing is thinking for me.
Apologies for not replying to everyone personally. Just to say: of course there are lots of useful AI tools.
But writing is not merely the laborious process of recording your thoughts in a permanent form. It is a tool that generates insight and ideas, and we should be careful how we automate it.

Sitting in the docs and notice they use Miss/Mrs/Mr/Master etc on the indicator board.
Are these necessary? Will simply using the persons name not suffice?
