Friday 30 October 2009 @ 6:40 am

Time management has never been one of my strengths.  I’m pretty good at planning, ever since I learned the importance of working backwards, but where I tend to fall down is in over-estimating the amount I can get done in any given period of time.

Are You Jinxing Yourself Out of Job Opportunities?

Saturday 24 October 2009 @ 2:00 am
