South Africans. Can anyone help me with (or connect me with someone useful to help me with) an urgent Dept of Home Affairs issue? I've been told to "email the DG", but given the change-over recently, I don't know where to start. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Advice pls, tweeps. I’ve been using @22seven for several years now - largely to integrate with my bank accounts and help me recon my VAT & tax expenses. But it’s become very glitchy and the Svens’ service over the last 3 months has deteriorated a lot. Got an alternative for me?

Creatively stuck? Here's a tip: Try to approach the task as if you are aiming to achieve the *opposite* outcome 🌀🔄 #ReverseThinking #InspirationEverywhere #UnusualAdviceOnCreativity

Is it naive to be tentatively hopeful about our new #GovernmentofNationalUnity? I mean, all things considered, this seems to me to be a positive outcome.

Running out of creative ideas? Watch an episode of the worst TV show you can find. Sometimes the best ideas come from knowing what *not* to do 🍿😅 #CreativeFails #InspirationEverywhere #FakeAdviceonCreativity

Out-of-home advertising has changed. Sort of. Here are my 10 tips for creating OOH copy that grabs the attention of those who’re in their own worlds, surrounded by stimuli, and reluctant to emerge: #OOHCopy #OOHMedia #TiffsTips

Here's something I learned recently: For the neurodiverse brain, metaphors can BLUR, rather than bring clarity. Let's be strategic with our metaphors. #TiffsTips #OnWriting #Metaphor

Next creative brainstorming session? Include your pets. Explain your idea to them. If they look confused, you're on the right track 🐾💡 #PawsitiveThinking #CreativeGenius #FakeAdviceonCreativity

Confession: I am an obsessive list-maker. Ticking off things on my list gives me a dopamine hit. (I used to think this was a healthy ritual, but it's entirely possible that it's some kind of mania.) You? #Lists

We’ve read it, @davidbaldacci. So I guess it’s time to thank you. Lone Wolf is the latest epic romp from @GreggHurwitz. Exquisitely detailed. Beautifully researched. Bloody funny. Highly recommend. @PenguinBooksSA @penguinrandom

When we get tired at work, we go online. Onto social media. Down internet rabbit-holes. Why? Because time management is an emotional and complex thing, requiring emotional and complex decision-making, while the Internet feels like it's 'fun'.

OMG. I'm heading for a fall. This was my most prominent thought when watching @BradShorkend 's exceptional @TEDx talk, "You're in the stress doom loop". Gonna need to change some things. Pronto. You?

It may be my age, but I can't bear the word “shop” as an imperative verb in calls to action. “Shop the latest deals” makes me want to tear my skin off. You? #TiffsTips

I really like the ANC’s 2024 campaign slogan of “Let’s Do More”. I mean, they couldn’t possibly do less. #Elections2024

What a profoundly stupid phrase this is. “Think outside the box.” Real creativity can happen inside the box. It can also happen when you throw the box away. Or when you deny that the box ever existed in the first place. Dump the box altogether.
