I love project management tools. ClickUp, Trello, Asana, Monday, Sunsama—you name it, I’ve tried it. They all have powerful features and endless ways to tinker, but here’s the truth: Apple Reminders doesn’t come close to their complexity. It has far fewer features, doesn’t integrate with dozens of apps, and will never replace a full project management system.

CRM systems often get a reputation for being big, complicated, and intimidating — and to be fair, some of them are. But if you’re a small business owner, you don’t necessarily need all the bells and whistles. There are simpler, more straightforward options out there that can help you stay organised without overwhelming you.

There’s something about September that feels like a reset button has been pressed. This year my son has started college and my daughter is back at school, which means the house suddenly feels quieter, calmer, and a little more grown up. After the blur of summer — with teens drifting in and out, late nights, constant food shopping, and endless dishes — September arrives with its cooler mornings and new routines, and it feels like a chance to start again.

AI has exploded over the last few months, quickly weaving itself into our digital lives. Text messages, voicemails, email, social media, and even Google look very different from how they did just 12 months ago.

My dad was the original techie in our family. Long before smartphones and wireless everything, he worked for British Telecom and had a genuine love for the magic of connection — both technical and human. He passed away in 1993, and I often find myself wondering what he’d make of the world today.

You tidy your home. You clear your desk. But when was the last time you decluttered your digital workspace? A Digital Reset Routine is a chance to pause, clean up, and reset your tech so it supports you — not slows you down. It's not about doing everything, but about giving yourself space to breathe and making your systems easier to use.

If there’s one thing that builds trust, saves time, and reduces overwhelm in your business—it’s consistency. Here are 12 simple ways to bring more consistency into your business—without burning out.

Choosing the right Squarespace plan and add-ons can feel overwhelming — especially with various pricing tiers, billing options, and extras like Acuity Scheduling or Google Workspace. To help you make an informed decision, here’s a straightforward, up-to-date guide to Squarespace pricing for UK users.

Running an online business doesn’t have to mean juggling dozens of different tools and systems. In fact, I believe the opposite: the simpler your tech stack, the smoother everything runs. I’ve built my business around a small number of tools that work beautifully together — no overwhelm, no wasted time, and no unnecessary apps.

You’ve poured your energy into writing, designing, planning—or maybe you’ve outsourced it all to a professional. You’ve done the hard work… so why hasn’t it gone live?

Why this unassuming app is now the beating heart of my productivity. I’m so invested in Apple Reminders now, and it’s become so integrated in my life and business, I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it.

Have you planned your holiday reads yet? Remember the days when you’d stuff a pile of novels into your suitcase, only to bring them back sun-warped, sand-filled, and soaked in suncream?

Building a website in a day might sound like magic — but with the right prep, it really can happen. One of the reasons my clients love my fuss-free approach is because it’s quick, collaborative, and cuts out the faff. But for everything to run smoothly, there are a few things I’ll need from you ahead of time.

When you’re building (or refreshing) your website, it’s easy to get caught up in colours and fonts — but small decisions like what to include in your navigation bar can have a surprisingly big impact on how visitors move through your site.

Regardless of how busy I am, one thing is non-negotiable: keeping my emails under control.

It’s one of those habits where little and often is the best approach to stay on top of things. A few minutes a day means I never have to face hundreds (or thousands!) of unread messages. But I know not everyone feels the same.

If you're setting up your online presence and finding all the tech terms a bit of a minefield, you're not alone.

Feeling overwhelmed by years of digital photos?
This 5-step plan will help you declutter, organise, and back up your photos once and for all—no more chaos, no more duplicates, just a simple system that works.

Do you remember having packets and packets of BonusPrint photos, bulging with negatives and stuffed in a shoebox under the bed?

I do — and I’m so pleased that with the rise of digital photography, we no longer have to deal with that kind of physical clutter.

But how organised are your digital photos?
