How Do You Run A Facebook Privacy Audit? (2026/666)

When was the last time you actually reviewed your Facebook privacy settings? Meta regularly updates features and defaults, often favouring more data sharing rather than less. If you have not checked your settings recently, you might be sharing more than you realise.

In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ Why privacy settings need regular review, not just a one-time setup
📌 How to access Facebook's Privacy Checkup and what each section controls
🛡️ Key settings to lock down including email visibility, friends list access and ad preferences
🔗 How to review your activity log and connected apps for suspicious access

Think of this as a health check for your digital presence. Set aside 20 minutes once or twice a year to run through these settings and take back control of what you are sharing and with whom.

Will Another App Really Fix Your Workflow? (2026/665)

When things start slipping through the cracks, it is tempting to search for a new app to solve the problem.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ Why downloading an app feels like progress but often is not
📌 The hidden costs of tool sprawl including subscriptions, integration headaches, and mental load
🔗 How to check if your existing tools already have the feature you need
🛡️ The one-to-one job principle for deciding whether a new tool is truly necessary
