Is there enough TIME?

time-swirlDo you ever have the feeling that there is never enough time to do and see and experience and explore and share everything you want to do and see and experience and explore and share?

Tonight watching a panel discussion on mathematics from the World Science Festival, it really hit home (yet again) how much there is to learn and explore – that I passionately want to learn and explore – and that’s in addition to growing my business that I love, spending time with people I love, doing things I love – and what a relatively small amount of time we have in which to do it…

...and I'm not talking about how many stacks of papers there are on your desk... How to live a life most people only dream about... I'm referring to 'where' you actually work.  For many, there is no option but to turn up to a specific place however there is an increasingly large group…
