Did you know, the average person will spend about 90,000 hours at work in their lifetime?
When you add it up, that’s about a third of your life!
Annie Dillard, the Writer, famously said “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

It’s impossible to overstate the importance of goals: learning how to set and pursue effective ones can leader to greater motivation, satisfaction, and achievement. In fact, it’s been said that the difference between the best and the rest comes down to this: those who are preeminent in their fields have a clear sense of direction, the perseverance required to overcome unexpected challenges, and a strong sense of how their present actions will get them where they want to be in the future.
Whatever your occupation, it pays to be productive.
The best way to achieve this is to become an expert in time management.
In this post, we share seven habits that can help transform even the most devoted procrastinator into a reliable workhorse.
Workplace stress is the inevitable outcome of having to get a lot done within a limited time-frame, while being accountable for your performance. Up to a point, this keeps people motivated.
However, if stress levels are too high, it ultimately detracts from performance.
The Australian Government has been widely praised for its response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
It has won plaudits for both the public health measures implemented to combat the virus, as well as policy measures intended to limit the economic fall out.
The centrepiece of the government’s economic response is the JobKeeper Payment.
At the risk of stating the obvious, it has been a stressful time.
Not only are we living through a once in a century pandemic. To make matters worse, the measures we have taken as a result have destroyed the economy. Not to mention our social lives.
If you are feeling a little stressed, well, that is normal.
The corona-virus outbreak has taken a sledgehammer to the Australian jobs market.
While unemployment increased only slightly in March, it looks likely that many more Australians will lose their jobs in coming months. The government’s own Treasury figures are forecasting an unemployment rate of 10% by the middle of the year.
With the corona virus outbreak threatening to overwhelm our health system, many of us are choosing to self isolate.
For others, it’s only a matter of time before we’re told to stay home.
This will mean an enforced layoff for some workers, such as those in hospitality.
Effective recruiting is essential to the success of any business.
The right team can make a good business great and a great business exceptional. On the flip side, unpleasant or dissatisfied staff and a toxic workplace culture can derail even the best businesses.
Bad habits can be a huge barrier to success.
At the very least, they waste our time and stop us from achieving our goals. At their worst, they can be truly debilitating. They can threaten our health, our career prospects and our financial stability.
Last month’s post, ‘How To Build Healthy Habits’, described some useful techniques for incorporating healthy habits into our lives.
