Time management – leave extra time in my schedule to get things done, for relaxation and for fun.

Don’t get het up making things perfect that you have no control over – it’s a recipe for disaster.
Great articles here, and very timely as people are worried about job security, doing overtime, not able to go on holiday etc – I can only see stress going skywards.
