I’d like to tell you a little story…
Back in October 2005 my mother suffered a nasty stroke. It left her mostly paralysed down the right hand side of her body. It also badly affected her speech and she now struggles to get her words out.

Procrastination is the bane of many a gentlemans life. It is so easy to not do that which must be done now.
Let’s face we are all guilty of it at some point or another. The question is how can we avoid falling prey to its deliciously lazy charms and keep productive?
