When your calendar is packed, you think that all that time is put to good use, and that you are 100% productive. That's not always the case simply because your productivity does not depend solely upon your behaviour. Although the end results are the most important, time spend on achieving those is equally important. So what are the biggest time wasters that even high profile personalities suffer from? The first place goes out to…   Excessive e-mail   An average person checks his e-mail around twenty times per hour. Some of that e-mail is really quite important, some of it is just spam.

We are brought to this planet for a reason. Our time here is limited and yet we do nothing to better the planet we live on. We treat this place we call home with negligence.   The Earth is rebelling: floods, typhoons, global warming, earthquakes and active vulcanos are some of its weapons, and we do not recognise it.   The good news is that we can change it. The most critical sectors, from water, to energy, food, agriculture, health, finance have serious problems we should address.
