Thursday April 30th and day 38 in the UK lockdown. Almost 40 days! Wow..

After almost four weeks in lockdown, we are becoming creative, inventive and "finding the time" to reconnect with family and friends.

Call it fallow time like Bonnie Tsui has in a recent New York Times article, or Thrive Time like they do at Thrive Global, taking time out to rest, recover and re-energise is key to success.

It is something we would ordinarily do naturally if living in tune with the cycles of the seasons. Shorter days in winter are the time where we should be doing less,...

Today is the 1st of July 2019. What a powerful day for planning and checking in with progress to date.

Not only is it Monday, it is also the first of the month, which happens to be a new quarter and the start of the second...
