It’s only natural to want to excel at work; we all strive to be successful, it’s part of our very being, no matter whether you’re one of the workaholics or not. This is why we invest in high tech electronics, programmes, apps, try to find ways to learn more about our area of expertise through various information sources, and yet still somehow we end up not being as productive as we ought to be, or at least hope to be.
Having found myself in that exact sort of situation, I questioned myself on a daily basis whether I was getting enough sleep, eating the proper food, if I was having some health issues that were impeding my concentration and productivity. As it turned the office air was the culprit, and the rescue came in the form of cool air ventilation through heavy duty fans.
If there’s electricity, there are likely a couple of cables in there as well. That also includes vehicles, which to my surprise, a lot of people neglect. When upgrading your stereo or installing accessories like LED lights to your truck for off-road riding, you should expect to be dealing with wires and cables in the installation process. Moreover, you’ll probably be best off getting car wiring accessories like a wire harness, cable assembly, wiring loom, etc.
When in doubt how to furnish or redecorate your living room, a good start is to turn to the masters. And who can boast with a long history of home design and improvements if not the Scandinavians? Perhaps the fact that the Northern climate keeps these people locked inside is the reason why their homes are the pinnacles of interior design. And since us Aussies are fans of the outdoors, we’d certainly benefit to learn how to achieve the Scandinavian balance indoors and freshen up our living room.
The term ‘dementia’ is used to describe a set of symptoms that may include having troubles with thinking, with problem-solving abilities and general memory loss. These changes are often small to begin with, but as a person ages, they can become severe enough to affect performing their daily tasks. Dementia is mainly caused in cases when the brain is damaged by a series of strokes or diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, which is the most common cause of it.
In the past, paper was the only means for organizing, storing and retrieving patients’ medical records. This caused a number of serious problems with misplacement and loss of data being the most common. But what could doctors and medical workers do back then, since it was the only option available to them? Luckily, the huge advances in both healthcare and computer technology have given modern day clinics a number of efficient and safe options to store and organize their medical data. By implementing a good medical IT system, healthcare providers can quickly enter and retrieve a patient’s health data, find the right treatment options, and communicate with other professionals in the field to make sure they’ve made the right diagnosis.

There are so many places to go, yet so little time. Over the years, being witnesses of the technological advancements as well as being directly affected by them, we’ve learned how to be constantly pressed for time and used to feeling frazzled. Then if we’re lucky, after all the days of being workaholics we get the chance to enjoy some days off, taking to the road and visiting new places. While all this is going on, unless we pay attention, this sort of speeded lifestyle can start taking its toll on our health, and constantly being on the run then sitting it out at work and at home can seriously affect the state of our feet.
You think your success is defined by the amount of hours you put in at work? All your days start early and end late. You begin your day with checking your email and end it by sending one from bed right before you set the alarm clock. You work overtime just because you’re left with one more task to finish and well, because it conveys an impression of a rather hard-working person. Then you go home and start a brainstorming session at 9:00 PM for the tasks you have the following day. Sleep? What’s that?
Recently, I had to deliver a hundred leaflets across my neighbourhood, inviting people to discuss the matter of the local government cutting down some of the trees on our street. The sad thing I learned was that generally, people were not interested in this problem. Another thing that I learned was that some of them have really gone a long way in styling and decorating their outdoor spaces. I was quite impressed. What mainly caught my attention and made me think a bit about the different kinds of people in my neighbourhood? Their letterboxes. From old, plain ones, to futuristic and stylish ones, I came across a variety of letterboxes in all colours and materials. I got to confess, this inspired me to replace my old, boring letterbox with a new one that speaks to my personality.
