I remember sitting in a cramped home office back in 2025, manually tagging customer emails and trying to guess which products might trend during the holiday season. It was guesswork disguised as entrepreneurial intuition.

I’ve spent over twelve years managing office operations across corporate finance, marketing agencies, and a fast‑growing SaaS startup. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that office work is never static. Five years ago, my teams were drowning in spreadsheets, endless email threads, and manual data entry. Today?

For many startups, wearing 20 hats is the norm. […]

My typical evening involved scrolling through 12 different notification tabs, trying to respond to a customer’s question about a custom candle order before I forgot, cross-referencing Instagram and Facebook Insights to guess what time to post the next day, and staring […]

If you’ve ever juggled client deadlines while drowning in admin work, you know the freelance grind. I remember nights spent formatting invoices instead of sleeping, or losing hours to creative block when inspiration just wouldn’t strike. As a freelancer with over a decade in content strategy, I’ve lived that chaos. But recently, something shifted. AI […]
