I recently spent an afternoon sitting at the kitchen table with my nephew, watching him battle a chemistry worksheet that looked more like ancient hieroglyphics than science. We’ve all been there—the moment where you want to help, but your own high school memories of the periodic table are hazy at best. He pulled out Socratic, … Read more
I’ve spent the last three years in a complicated relationship with Notion. It started with a single page for a grocery list and spiraled into a massive, interconnected workspace that theoretically manages my entire professional life. But if I’m being honest with you—colleague to colleague—there are days when I want to delete the whole thing … Read more
If you’ve been in the digital space for more than ten minutes, you know the monkey. Mailchimp is essentially the “default” choice for email marketing. But being the default option often means a tool carries a lot of legacy weight. I’ve spent the last few weeks back in the trenches with Mailchimp—not just sending a … Read more
I’ve spent the last six years staring at a code editor for at least eight hours a day. For a long time, that editor was Sublime Text because it was fast. Then it was Atom because it was pretty (RIP). Now, like almost everyone else in the industry, my dock icon is that blue ribbon … Read more
I didn’t start using Canva with any big expectations. It was more of a convenience decision — something lightweight for quick designs without opening heavier tools. The first couple of days feel almost frictionless. You pick a template, change text, drag a few elements around, and you’re done. There’s no real “learning phase.” That’s probably … Read more
If you’ve spent any time looking for a CRM, you’ve probably felt the gravitational pull of Zoho. It’s everywhere. It’s often the first thing people suggest when Salesforce feels too expensive or Pipedrive feels too “light.” But after living inside Zoho CRM for a while, I’ve realized that its biggest strength—its massive scope—is also exactly … Read more
I’ve spent a lot of time in the “automation rabbit hole.” You start with one simple goal—maybe getting a Slack notification when someone fills out a Typeform—and three hours later, you’re trying to map nested JSON data into a Google Sheet while questioning your life choices. Zapier is usually the first place people land when … Read more
I’ve spent a lot of time poking around the Zoho ecosystem lately, and if there’s one thing that sticks out, it’s how much they want you to talk to Zia. She—or it, depending on how much you like personifying software—is everywhere. From the CRM to your inbox, Zia is marketed as the “smart” layer that’s … Read more
I’ve spent the last decade trained like a Pavlovian dog to type keywords into a blank white box, hit enter, and then play “dodge the ad” for the first four results. It’s a muscle memory that’s hard to break. But lately, I’ve found myself opening a Perplexity tab instead of Google when I actually need … Read more
I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to force Gemini into my actual, messy, day-to-day workflow. Not the “look at this cool trick” kind of use you see in demos, but the gritty stuff—sorting through endless email threads, drafting project outlines, and trying to make sense of dense spreadsheets. What I’ve found is that it’s … Read more
