It's a wrap - thank you and goodbye
30 December 2025


Thank you for visiting. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas break. I spent mine doing some reflecting and as a result, I've made a decision... there will be no more tips published here. Before signing off, I wanted to briefly share that decision and, more importantly, thank you for being part of this journey.

Back in 2003, I set out on a simple mission: to help you get more from your computers and software. That's when I started my series of short, practical tips designed to save you time. Together, we've navigated new versions, new tools and more changes than any of us probably expected.

After more than 20 years of researching, writing and publishing, I've decided it's time to close this chapter. This wasn't an easy decision, but it feels like the right moment. But before the rumours get any wilder... I'm not retiring!

What is happening is this...

I'm still passionate about helping people work smarter, so I will continue to share my tips on LinkedIn and I'd genuinely love to stay connected with you there. If we're not already connected, please reach out. If you'd rather 'follow', that's absolutely fine too. You can find me here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenroem/

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support, feedback and engagement over the years have meant more than you probably realise. Wishing you a wonderful 2026, filled with new opportunities and the chance to fully enjoy all that life has in store for you. Stay curious!

Karen

PS I'd love to know... anyone subscribed all the way back in 2003?
