It’s not easy managing or prioritising the huge influx of other information coming at us every day.

The shear volume and variety of information to gorge on makes it far too tempting to put off the important things, such as completing actions that lead us towards our goals, and instead distract ourselves on things which are way beyond are control. The ‘news’ items are deliberately emotive in order to sell newspapers or increases TV ratings. Unfortunately this can eventually lead to stress and overwhelm as well as massively damage our productivity levels; fortunately, we now have RSS.

Whilst most of these individual chemicals pass certain ‘tests’ to make sure they aren’t too harmful for humans, they may not include the accumulative affect on our central nervous system (CNS) after mixing so many of them together.

One of the most popular reasons for not exercising is a lack of time, which is not surprising given today’s hectic work schedules.

Fortunately there is something most of us can do to burn lots of calories, which doesn’t involve getting all hot and sweaty, and out of breath.

It’s really important for sales professionals to look in good shape – because our bodies tell others [clients and prospects] a lot about us i.e. if we’re significantly overweight, that gives the impression of gultony and weakness.
