Shop less, toss more.
The logical place to start when you decide to limit the stuff in your home or office is at the source – shopping. If you have a broken water pipe, you do not start by mopping the floor, you turn off the water. In the same way, if you can resist those needless trips to...
Hang onto your memories.
In my last four blogs I have emphasized the importance of being proactive in the prevention of Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. The reason is threefold. First, the incidence of dementia is increasing to the extent that one in three people will die of...

A manager’s attitude is important
Matthew Lieberman, in his book, Social: why our brains are wired to connect, mentions a poll that asked past employees which they would prefer, a raise or a better boss. Two-thirds answered that they would prefer a better boss over a higher salary. A good attitude...
