Now, I know how to use my Moleskin monthly summary diaries. They have lain unsullied, until now, until I had decided how best to put them to work. Within those tiny jewels lies the key to my my planning, time management and daily summaries of succes…

Thank you, Paul. The poem within the poem is lovely - but my journey on life's waters is far deeper than it portrays. The first three passages refer to a special part of my journey with my daughter and my two sons. My journey was a recurring dream o…

This is a group where we can post our concerns about Wildlife Conservation and seek support for issues that are really important to us. We have as much a mutual responsibility to care for wildlife as we do to care for ourselves and our children.

Time management and prioritising are essential - but not easy.

In my financial planning career, much of our work was re-active. Changes in tax and Social Security rules, fluctations in financial markets, unexpected changes in client's lives and other ci… Continue
