Hello ,

Short and sweet this month as I know many of you are on holiday and of course won't be checking your email until you get back ... will you?

There are a few things I'd like to share with you this month and a question for you.

Last week saw the launch of the 30 Day Time Challenge - key strategies that are absolutely essential to managing your time effectively.

Bite-sized chunks, simple ideas and tactics not only act as a reminder but take you step by step through the process to transform your habits and create long-term changes that work.

You can download the Challenge here.

There's a special 2012 Olympic Offer for you. Get a limited edition of the Time Audit session for just £20.12. A great opportunity for you to get motivated, take action and start making changes that will have a real impact on your life.

Click here for more details and how to book your session.

So my question for you is:

What do you need - what keeps you awake at night or working late in the office?

Just take a couple of minutes to reply to this email and let me know - a) I'd love to hear from you and b) your responses help me to focus on what you need. And if you take the trouble to reply, I'll get back to you with some ideas.

Keep in touch and get extra tips from my blog - or Follow Me on Twitter - or contact me on Linked In or Facebook.

Give yourself an MOT.

We MOT and service our cars regularly and they're only lumps of metal and plastic - so why not MOT yourself.

Sitting at a computer for hours on end (as many of us do) does result in a certain tightness to shoulders, back, and neck, as well as potentially more serious problems, if your screen and keyboard aren't at the right angle and your seat doesn't allow for adjustment
.
Make sure you have regular check-ups to keep on top of your health. Your health is the most important asset you have and unfortunately years of abuse, poor diet and lack of exercise lead to longer term problems.

Is the Olympic Games playing havoc with work?

Events like the Olympics really capture the imagination and have a nation on the edge of their seats as their athletes compete for those precious gold, silver and bronze medals.

Although, there aren't many sports I watch, the Olympics is one of those events that gets me hooked - especially those events where we can expect medals and all the events you don't know much about and don't normally get a chance to see.

So how do you keep yourself and your employees focused on work, while still managing to get involved with some of the triumphs and inevitable disappointments of the games?
