Dried fruits are tasty but can really ramp up the sugar intake, so use with moderation. You are in fact better having your avocado because of the healthy omega fats.

Rubbish. If I say I know what to do, I mean that I know both what to do AND how to do it. I thought everyone did?

Thanks, Raj for the blog link. Jon has put me off SM because he thinks my puny female brain can't handle it. Actually, that's not true - but I have found Anki to be sufficient for what I need. I'm interested in the concept of procedural knowledge/learning though and can easily see how that...

Socialism gave us the NHS.

BSL is British Sign Language - I have a number of friends who are Deaf and so I am learning their language because it's much easier and less exhausting for me to sign than for them to have to lip read.

If you are using soy or almond milk, use the unsweetened version. It's very easy to get too many calories from the sweetened version. I use soy rather than almond milk - I like both though.

Good idea. I like the new, helpful you...

I agree with Jon (this is a rarity, so take note). Orange juice should be limited - or diluted if you simply can't do without it.

I was at Heathrow a few years ago waiting for my baggage off the flight. In front of me was a mum with a small child in her arms and one aged about 3-4 standing next to her. The 3-4 year old was tugging at her skirt and saying, 'Mum, Mum, Mum, Mum'. She bent down and slapped him across his legs...

This weekend, I am kickstarting my Anki use. It seems I will have to make my own deck for BSL, but making the deck is the first step in rooting it into my memory. Send chocolate.

I have been saying this to a friend for some time. I keep 2 of everything, in case I need something when I am cooking, or a friend pops round. But the result is the same - it's easy to keep on top of washing up and never feels like a mammoth task. Though it makes me a little sad that you are...

I like your thinking.

You've been given one job: to make the world less painful to live in. Which 3 things do you tackle first and why?

I used OneNote to keep track of actions, meeting notes, key pieces of information relating to the project, risk register, programme etc. It was useful. OneNote worked in that instance because multiple people could access the information quickly and easily - adding and updating (and seeing their...

*peak.

Look, I'm not saying these tools aren't useful. In fact, I used OneNote in work to manage all of my capital projects so that the project team could chip in, share, and add to the information stored there. Task lists are just that. Task lists. Finding the 'perfect' task list seems like a waste...

I just think this is over-engineering - or another way to procrastinate. By all means, keep spreadsheets/tick lists/whatever checking system you need, but ultimately, JFDI.

Tomorrow is my last day in my job. Here are some stats: I've worked there for 7 years. I've built up a team from 5 people to 32 when all other teams in the organisation have been getting smaller. I've spent in excess of £40m on property. I've generated annual revenue of at least £5m I'm...

You nit-pick everything I say. It's maddening.
