It’s one of those days when you wish you had spent an extra hour in bed.   I listen to the ‘news’ (or the ‘selected events’) on the radio, and the day gets worse.

Sounds like a vicious circle to me.   What if we micro-manage? What I mean by this is not to look at life in years but in days. A year has twelve months, a day has 24 hours.   24 hours minus 8 for a good night's rest leaves 16 hours. Minus, say, 8 hours of work and another 1.5 h...
