Weekly Wisdom No.150: Time wasting is okay
Time wasting is okay We cannot compartmentalise our lives, we are who we are at work and at home. Wasting time is a part of that. In an era of productivity, technological speed, efficiency software and leading-edge instruments, we are made to feel guilty if we squander some time daydreaming, watching television, or snoozing on [...]

There’s plenty of material on leadership and management. But none of it is written for the worst case scenario: working for yourself. Because you are a rotten boss. And, just because you’re not self-employed don’t think you’re off the hook. You’re not. You manage your daily activities, time prioritisation, priorities of tasks, delegation of responsibilities.

Weekly Wisdom No.111: What are you working on?

Life’s a beach: but not exclusively
People are returning to work from their Christmas and summer vacation, the children are about to recommence school and the groans can be heard echoing.
