This memoir is affecting me in a positive way. It is effective.

Dragonflower says,

Finally I understand the difference! But still not confident to use in sentence! :) Feeling ineffective is frustrating. It is my worst feeling! It makes me want to hide in the covers.

three-monkeys says,

I was honestly not trying to make a spelling statement, just really feeling useless right now! But now that we are on the subject, I always just say to myself "ripple effect" and that helps me remember the difference between "affect" and "effect." It gets REALLY confusing for me though when "effect" is used as a verb, as in "to bring about!"

If it's affecting you, you will need to effect a change in your effectiveness, effectively.
