enter the matrix
I am not sure when I first came across the matrix that is supposed to help you prioritise I have always found it helpful, but there are a couple of problems: Who decides whether something is urgent or important? What I consider important, for example, may be considered unimportant by others. What happens to the…

power to the people?
In an era when we are all acutely conscious of the cost of gas and electricity, and Power Companies are replacing Banks as Public Enemy Number One in the media-led vilification stakes, two thoughts occur to me. One is to ask myself how I would feel if I was working for one of these institutions…
