Epicurus Was Right - Don't Overdo It


I don't follow football much, and in fact don't even support a particular football team.  But I do like the big international matches in the European and the World Cups.  Being English I don't get to support my own national team for very long most seasons, but I follow the drama through to the end.  My son is in his twenties and his level of football interest is about the same as mine, so we often watch the matches together with a few tins of beer and some highly processed unhealthy snacks.  We cheer.  We drink. We eat. We bond.  It is one of those things that don't seem important but really are.

Can You Write A Book Without Even Noticing?



My last blog post was on the 7th of June, where I pondered whether writing a book on the management was a good way of keeping my focus on managing my time well.  Two weeks isn't long enough to make a definitive judgement, though it certainly isn't doing any harm. I think the 10 to 15 minutes I spend on it every morning before is returned in increased productivity, but I will keep an open mind on it for while.

Is Writing A Book On Time Management A Good Way To Manage Your Time?



I am, as always, struggling with time management.  Epictetus said that no man is free unless he is a master of himself.  This is very true, and nowhere more so than in making sure you are spending the little time you have wisely.
