Time in the modern world

So, these days I find myself with less and less time in which I am supposed to do more and more...
I am not sure how I arrived in this situation...
I now work for 7 European countries, and usually at least two of them want stuff from me (at the same time)... I wonder if my wages should be multiplied accordingly.
Now perhaps I do not manage my time well enough... I don't know...
I am supposed to be writing a technical article, organising a stag do, writing a little webapp to ease the previously mentioned task, working on my game, keeping fit, spending time relaxing with Nicky, the mind boggles at the number of things I am meant to do!

Add to this travel abroad, particularly when the public transport infrastructure lets me down as it did on Thursday, when my train broke down for 2 hours 5 miles from home.... and I am getting pretty tired and stressed... and the fact that I do 15 hours travelling a week minimum, I am still looking for the rewards I hope I am due...

Now I have New York coming up, and Stag Do's etc... wouldn't it be nice to win the lottery?

Think I will add one more point to my New Years Resolution... say no to people more often, unless it is in my best interests, make them wait till I AM READY to help!!!

Those boys at 37Signals are about to do it again

Before I say anything else, go to www.37signals.com...

I have hype on about their products/ideas before... and they are about to do it again... watch carefully for the release of 'Campfire' this week.... you are going to love it!!!!

Good Reading

As part of my New Years Resolution List, one of my objectives was to improve my time management and stress levels...

To this end I decided to do some effective reading... and low and behold it does pay off..

The First book I would like to recommend it 'One Minute Manager', recommended to me by my boss. This book is a gem, you absolutely have to read it... enough said.

The second book is 'The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People', habit number one 'Be Proactive' has already helped me out on numerous occasions in the last few weeks!!!!

Hahaha

Sick Nicky is getting better again, hurray, I will be able to go out and pay again, sorry I have been a hermit everyone, very busy at work, and staying in with Nick while she was poorly.

Now its time to relax again!!!

On top of that, my body weight is increasing again, nearly back to 13 stone now my appetite has increased again, HAPPY DAYS!!!!
