SUMMER / AUTUMN NEWSLETTER 2010

Happy New Year!

According to the Chinese Zodiac it is officially the year of the Tiger. Apparently any one born under the sign of the Tiger will be friendly and loving but they can also be selfish and short tempered!

What has happened to 2010! Is it just us, or is time really flying? We purchased a new clock with an amazing silent second hand that just seems to be zooming away the minutes, hours, days……need we go on?! Which really begs the question as to why we are watching it, instead of managing our time a bit better!

How are your time management skills? We find the 3 D’s work a dream:

• DELEGATE: Whenever possible share the load
• DIARISE: So you remember what needs to be done and when
• DO: What needs to be done now, immediately!
