~ Warna Biru ~

Tahu tak? Kenapa seorang ibu selalu atau mudah jadi abuser pada anak-anak dia? One of the reason yang I boleh fikirkan sekarang sebab hampir most of time, hanya si ibu yang ada bersama dengan anak-anak dia. Baik daripada buka mata sehinggalah waktu tidur diorang. Itupun kalau dapat tidur, kalau anak meragam, itu tak kena, ini tak kena, memang tak dapat lah tidur.

Ditambah kalau ibu tu sendiri pun ada kerja hakiki atau target kerja lain yang nak dicapai. Mana nak siapkan report bagi pada atasan, mana nak kerja target KPI projek. Rumah lagi nak fikir, nak kena bersih kemas, perut sendiri lagi yang lapar, kalau hari-hari order luar, tak lalu jugak, plus harga memang mahal. anak pulak nak menyusu, yang 24 jam nak melekat je macam beruang koala.

Semua ini makin lama akan makan mental si ibu. Bagi orang lelaki mudah, pergi kerja balik kerja, yang tahu rumah bersih, kemas, makanan ada, malam boleh have fun main game, chatting dengan kawan. Healing untuk mental katanya. Yelah, lelaki kan provider. LOL.

Si ibu kadang susukan anak tu lah ruang nak tidur. Kalau rezeki masa tu lah anak akan tidur sekali, kalau tak ada rezeki, memang kejap aja lah layan main tidur nya.

Benda ni makin lama selagi anak tu masih tak boleh beza betul salah, selagi tu kalau orang lelaki tak ambil action sama, memang akan mental si ibu. Memang nampaknya si ibu masih boleh berdiri tegak laksanakan tugas ni, anak tu kurniaan Allah. Allah pilih kita untuk terima kurniaanNYA. Rugilah kalau kita abaikan kurniaan dia macam tu je.

Sebab tu kadang bila perangai anak tu terlalu menguji hati dan perasaan, memang kena banyak1,000,000+++ kali istighfar. Kalau tak istighfar, rasanya mahu dah sampai penampar jepun pada anak-anak. Dahlah deme kecil lagi. Kitanya pun kadang-kadang sikap baran tu ada balik walau dah lama buang jauh-jauh dalam laut cina selatan.

Hmm, akhir kalam, semoga kita semua dikurniakan rasa sabar yang sangat tinggi dan dalam melayani kerenah anak kita dan jugak anak mak mertua yang tak kurang banyak jugak rewelnya sampaikan rasa macam nak refund semula kat kilang dia. -.-

Okay, serius... semoga kita semua dikurniakan rasa sabar yang tinggi untuk menjaga apa yang kurniakan pada kita sebaik-baiknya. Ikhlaskan hati untuk tak tuntut apa-apa pada anak-anak bila diorang dah besar supaya hati kita tak tersakiti. Niatlah buat lah kerana Allah. Kalau dengan cara ni, boleh buat Allah pandang kita dengan penuh kasih sayang dan dapat redha NYA. Maka jomlah kita belajar ikhlaskan hati.

Semoga kita semua dikurniakan jugak pasangan suami atau isteri yang sangat-sangat memahami dan mencuba untuk bertugas sama-sama baik dalam urusan rumah, urusan anak, mahupun mental pasangan masing-masing. Seandainya masih ada ruang dan masa untuk jodoh kita dan pasangan berpanjangan, semoga Allah kurniakan petunjuk dan hidayahnya untuk kita sama-sama berubah dan perbaiki diri. Tapi seandainya, dah sampai waktunya, semoga Allah permudahkan perpisahan kita dengan cara yang baik.

Marilah kita bertahan untuk episod yang seterusnya...

Does your AI-generated content hit the mark, or is it too vague? Does it lack nuance?

When you use a prompt, AI-generated content may still be influenced by default settings or previous conversations. Persona engineering allows you to program an AI to act in a specific role or persona, enabling it to generate content that is more targeted, engaging, and aligned with your goals.

How to Engineer a Persona

Creating an AI persona is similar to writing a job description for a person. You need to be as detailed as possible. The more information you provide, the better the AI will be able to understand and fulfill its task.

Define the purpose: Start by determining what you want the AI to do. Are you seeking a brand voice persona to generate content matching your company's tone and style? Or do you need an expert copywriter persona to create compelling and persuasive copy?

Describe the role and responsibilities: Once you have a clear purpose in mind, describe the role and responsibilities of the persona. Be specific about the tasks the persona will be responsible for and the type of content it should generate.

Provide examples: To help the AI better understand the persona, provide examples of content that aligns with the persona's style and tone. This could be content you've written yourself or content from other sources that embody the characteristics you want the persona to have.

3 Personas to Create Quality Content With AI

Brand Voice Persona: A brand voice persona generates content matching your brand's unique tone, style, and values. This persona can help ensure consistency across all your content, whether blog posts, social media updates, or product descriptions.

Example: "You are the brand voice for a trendy, eco-friendly clothing company. Your tone is friendly, informative, and slightly quirky. You focus on topics related to sustainable fashion, environmental conservation, and ethical manufacturing practices. When writing, use a conversational tone and incorporate humor where appropriate. Aim to educate and inspire readers to make more conscious fashion choices."

Expert Copywriter Persona: An expert copywriter persona is skilled at writing compelling, persuasive copy that engages readers and drives action. This persona can help you create content that effectively communicates your message and achieves your desired results, whether generating leads, making sales, or building brand awareness.

Example: "You are an expert copywriter with a deep understanding of persuasive writing techniques. Your role is to create compelling copy that engages readers and motivates them to take action. When writing, focus on benefits rather than features and use strong, action-oriented language. Incorporate storytelling, social proof, and other persuasive elements to make your copy more impactful. Always keep the target audience and desired action in mind."

Stand-up Comedian Persona: A stand-up comedian persona can add humor, wit, and levity to your content. This persona can help you create content that entertains and engages readers, making your brand more relatable and memorable.

Example: "You are a stand-up comedian known for clever observations and witty one-liners. Your role is to inject humor and levity into the content you create. When writing, look for chances to make jokes, use puns, and poke fun at relatable experiences. Aim to make readers laugh while still delivering valuable information or insights. Keep the humor tasteful and appropriate for the target audience."

Being a digital marketer often means dealing with an overflow of emails and near-constant communication.

On the one hand, holding to strict 9 to 5 availability isn’t always possible, especially when you work with people in multiple time zones. One the other hand, making yourself available at all hours can lead to burnout.

How do you protect your time and still take care of business?

Stop Constantly Checking Email

Nothing kills productivity like unmanaged email habits. Here are five tips to help you gain control of your inbox.

Start Time Blocking Your Days: If something isn’t in my calendar, it doesn’t get done. Whether it’s a 10-minute asset review or a 2-hour meeting, that chunk of time goes in my calendar because that’s the only way to get an accurate picture of how many hours and minutes I have open each day.
Bookend Your Day With Email: Block time to check email at the beginning and end of every day. During these times, triage your inbox to identify critical messages that need immediate responses and schedule time for non-urgent replies for later in the day. Google Snooze is a handy way to ‘clear’ your inbox during this process because you can choose what time a snoozed email will resurface in your inbox.
Prioritize Important Recurring Tasks: Identify your most important daily tasks that aren’t related to email. These might include content creation, campaign setup, data analysis, etc. Then, block time in your calendar to focus on those key tasks. Award yourself bonus points if you can turn off notifications during these periods.
Set Dedicated Times for Managing Email: To stay focused, block email catch-up periods between the major task blocks in your calendar.
Set Clear Expectations for Email Responses: Let your team know your schedule for checking email and what they can expect in the way of response times. For example, if you manage email 4 times each day, your team can expect responses in less than 3 hours.

Don’t Answer Phone Calls at Night

Constantly making yourself available at night, well past business hours, will negatively impact your personal life and your sleep patterns. Instead set up a voicemail to let callers know you’ll respond the next business day unless it's a true emergency.

Save picking up and returning non-emergent calls for normal business hours when you're fully available.

Why It Works

Setting these systems and expectations in place with team members and clients will help everyone understand when and how you handle communications, potentially reducing stress on their end as well.

Emails will get answered and phone calls will be returned, but those responses will happen on a schedule that gives you more time to focus on critical marketing and business activities.

Knowing the word count of your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation and speaker notes can give you a rough idea of how long it may take to present the slideshow and where you may need to cut back. Here’s how to find out.

You can get the word count of your PowerPoint notes and slides—or just the speaker notes—on both Windows 10 and Mac. Unfortunately, you can’t currently get the word count on PowerPoint for the web.

View the PowerPoint Presentation Word Count on Windows

To get the word count of your slides and notes on Windows 10, open the PowerPoint presentation and click the “File” tab.

File tab in Microsoft PowerPoint

Next, select “Info” in the left-hand pane.

Info tab in the left hand pane of the File tab

Now, under the “Related Documents” section, click “Show All Properties.”

The “Properties” group will expand. Next to the “Words” option, you can see the word count of the PowerPoint slides and notes. Know that the “Notes” option just shows how many notes appear in the PowerPoint presentation rather than the word count of the notes.

If you want to find out the word count of just the notes, you’ll need to export and open them in Microsoft Word.

Click the “File” tab and, in the left-hand pane, click “Export.”

In the “Export” group, select “Create Handouts.”

Create Handouts option in the export group

The “Create Handouts in Microsoft Word” section will appear. Again, click “Create Handouts.”

The “Send to Microsoft Word” dialog box will appear. Choose the page layout style that you want by clicking the bubble next to the desired option. In the “Add slides to Microsoft Word document” group, there are two options to choose from:

Paste: The content pasted in Word won’t reflect any updates made to the presentation.
Paste Link: Any updates made to the presentation will be reflected in Word.

Click “OK.”

Sent to Microsoft Word dialog box

The presentation will open in Microsoft Word. You’ll see the word count of the notes in the bottom-left corner of the window.

If you’re using Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac, you can get the word count of your slides and notes. However, Mac’s export option doesn’t allow you to export the PowerPoint file as a Word doc, so to get the word count of just your notes, you’ll need to manually copy and paste them over to Word.

To get the word count of your presentation and notes, open PowerPoint and click the “File” tab.
