I'm not sure if I'm a workaholic but there are definitely times when I think I am in danger of becoming one. In this article I would like to talk about workaholics and time management.

Well answer this question: if I was to drop a twenty-pound note on the floor, a few feet away from you, would you pick it up? If you are suffering from flu, you will probably feel too ill to do so.

I’ve noticed that as I approach a ‘certain age’ my body seems to be wearing out in some ways and I am facing new problems. The age I reach, and how much I enjoy my later life, will depend on slowing down that wear and dealing with the problems of ageing. Continue reading
