But that doesn’t mean that you as an individual can’t do small things around the office. You don’t have to necessarily ride your bike every day, but once or twice a week can substantially reduce the amount of carbon released into the air.

If you’re planning to go this route, don’t think you have to reinvent the wheel.

I meet so many entrepreneurs and business leaders who are either struggling to find a great assistant or they just aren’t ready to bring one on yet.

The point of this is that a person that usually is productive won’t be in a job that doesn’t satisfy them completely. Remember, money isn’t everything. I haven’t been happier in my life since I left. Do you feel that you are happy at your job? What have I done? I need to quit!&#

Disorganization is so prevalent in the workplace that the Professional Organizers in Canada estimates a typical office worker wastes 150 hours a year – almost one month – searching for misplaced information.

My weight gain happened as a result of being so busy in my new job that I started eating out because it was easier than having to make my own breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner at home and I stopped going to the gym because I just couldn't seem to find the time.
