So, what’s in your tabs?

Diary of a CEO Dr. Sahar Yousef: I haven’t stopped thinking about this episode since I listened to it! I’m not usually a Diary of a CEO fan, but my husband sent this episode knowing it would be right up my alley. It features cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Sahar Yousef, who uses brain science to talk through optimizing your life for productivity and meaning. I’ve already started using some of it in my own work, particularly the idea of focus sprints: a block of time you book in advance to finish one specific, important task. Before you start, you break the task into small timed steps. Then you work through them with notifications off and a countdown timer running. (There’s a little more nuance to it than that — I highly recommend listening to this episode!)
The Personal Brand Method: I just signed up for Grace Beverley’s new course, and I can’t wait to go full type-A teacher’s pet on it. It’s 29 classes on building a personal brand, from figuring out what you want to be known for through to hooks, scripting, and turning content into opportunities. I’m most excited about that last one!
Cinematic Lighting Masterclass (Skillshare): When I first started creating videos, my idea of good lighting was sticking a key light in front of my face on max brightness. Ah, how naive I was. Lighting is the thing I’m most focused on improving right now (more on that below). I think this class is going to take my own content and Buffer’s YouTube channel up a level!

Is there a creator or account you’ve been obsessed with lately?
Grace Beverley has been one of my favorite creators for years. She started out as a fitness creator and went on to build businesses like TALA and Shreddy, so she’s always been a great example of someone who’s both a fantastic creator and a businesswoman.
Right now she’s in her motherhood era, which I can relate to as a mum of one. What I find particularly fascinating is how multifaceted her content is (no niching down for Grace!): motherhood, business, building a personal brand, renovating her home. Not many creators manage to cover that much and still maintain a cohesive brand.
What’s one thing that’s been shaping your thinking lately that has nothing to do with social media?
The words as text: what a screen reader can follow, and all there is when images don't load.
