Last week I was suffering from some minor neck pain. Normally I would have associated this with stress, but while I have been putting pressure on myself to learn new things at a greater pace than before, I didn’t feel particularly stressed, so I found this puzzling.

Quick Tips
The Early Birds Are Good For Your Mind
Since the beginning of January this year, my wife and I have been getting ourselves up early every day to see what all the fuss was about. At first it was pretty difficult, but as we’ve adjusted by going to bed earlier and getting into the routine of things, it’s become easier and easier.

Blinkist: A Summary
A week ago I asked the question: Is Blinkist worth subscribing for? Just a few days later, I really wasn’t sure.

NetFlix recently launched a series of shorts from different contributors, called Love, Death and Robots. After watching a couple, it wasn’t hard to carry on watching another and another. Some are pretty gory, but they all have something in common besides the Love, Death and Robots; ideas.
Learning The Slow Way

Formerly Known As Better Ways Of Working
Some of you may be wondering who this new blog is and how it showed up in your followed blogs, some of you may not have even noticed, but I’ll explain myself anyway.
