Final Offer by Lauren Asher - Spoiler-Free Review

Monday, September 16, 2024




There is something so good after finishing the series. I finally finished the last book in the Dreamland Billionaires Series a few days ago. If you are unfamiliar with the series, it is a trilogy following three brothers. The first book The Fine Print follows Rowan and Zahra, the second book Terms and Conditions follows Declan and Iris and the last book Final Offer follows Callahan and Alana. I already wrote reviews for the first two books and now it is time for me to share my thoughts on the last book.

Why I Prefer Physical Books Over Audiobooks



Have you ever wondered why were audiobooks invented and why a lot of people reach for them over physical books? 

The act of reading consisted of holding a physical book and reading each word until 1930. That is when the American Foundation for the Blinds decided to establish the first audiobook recording studio. Their goal was to make books more accessible to visually impaired individuals.

P.CALM Barrier Cycle Toner Review



Having sensitive skin means always trying to avoid any skincare products that can irritate your skin and keep looking for those that will make it healthier. When you finally find a product that your skin loves, you definitely stick to it. One product like that for me is P.CALM Barrier Cycle Toner.

The Truth About UGC That No One Is Talking About

Monday, July 22, 2024

User-generated content (UGC) is one of those terms that flud the internet in the last few years. The massive popularity of Influencer Marketing has now transferred to UGC creation.


So what is it exactly?

UGC is a type of content created by a consumer of a specific product or service. The biggest difference between Influencer Marketing and UGC is that the content is posted on the brand’s social media channels. You might heard how “anyone can be a UGC creator” and how “you don’t need any followers” to do so and I’m going to be frank from the start as I’ve been trying to be a UGC creator for over a year, and say that this is not the complete truth.

6 Workflow Hacks to Boost Productivity & Thrive at Work

Tuesday, July 2, 2024

Working with like-minded people that make working hours productive and enjoyable is a path to a successful business. Workflow management refers to prioritizing tasks, working efficiently, and delegating each project or task effectively. It’s a skill that needs some time to develop but is a priority if you want a workflow that brings revenue and success.


Better job results, higher pleasure, less stress, and more time available for the things we enjoy are just a few of the advantages of workflow management. This is why today, I bring you seven workflow management tips to enhance your working environment.



1. List Down Your Tasks for Today

Start your day by making a list of what you have planned to accomplish during your working hours. If there are some tasks you didn’t manage to finish the day before, add those tasks to the top of the list.


Prioritize your chores from the most to least important and tick them off as you complete them. If you work with a group, make sure to advise them of any additional tasks they need to do as soon as possible.


Businesses striving to go paperless can even use a free digital note-taking platform to create these lists.


2. Batch Similar Tasks

If you batch related work or activities together, you’ll have a better chance of saving precious time and energy. You will lose focus, diminish your productivity, and waste a lot of time if you and your team complete more irrelevant activities simultaneously.


Some people are affected by background noise or music. Avoid such environments or invest in headphones. New e-mail notifications and other social and business network notifications can be nuisances, so turn them off.


3. Maintain a 9-to-5 Schedule (If Applicable)

Having clear boundaries between work and personal time is important for a successful workflow. You and your team need free time to balance work and personal life every day to not feel burned out. That’s why it is important to respect and do your best during working hours.


Having a clear working routine will help you schedule time for work, family, friends, interests, and your physical and emotional well-being. During work hours, use the Airplane mode function to turn off e-mail and event notifications. Also, unless necessary, avoid using business software.

4. Maximize Your Time for Every Task

Time blocking each task is a great way to know how much time and energy each task is going to take from your day. When you don’t determine a timeframe it is easy to lose more time than you would usually need to.


Doing deep focused work for a shorter time is going to be much more beneficial in the long run. You can use Google Calendar, a physical planner, or mobile apps to time block your day. Give it a few days to see what works best for you and if time blocking is making you work smarter and not harder.


5. Assign Clear Roles for Project Success

Workflow with a team can be challenging, especially when everyone is unsure of their position and function. Uncertainty can lead to protests, arguments, and even failure to meet critical deadlines.


As a result, it’s critical to establish clear duties for each team member. It would be best if you did it immediately. Ensure that everyone has access to the material and that anyone can ask any job-related questions at any time. It is also a great idea to choose a feature-rich personal project management software and install it on every employee’s computer for a streamlined workflow.


6. Build a Happy & Productive Workplace

Be it based on theory or practice, we all know that satisfied workers are more productive. That means that maintaining the company’s morale upbeat is something business owners and managers need to make sure to prioritize. There are different ways employees can feel appreciated and motivated to do their best. Collaborative events and team building can significantly improve your project management.


When it comes to creating a new corporate culture, workflow management is the most effective source of positive change. These adjustments will make it easier for employees to feel like part of the team. They will complete their assignments on time and be happy to work in a stress-free environment.
