Weekly Round-Up #22 – Tests are bunk, Sandwiches help time management and FREE stuff!
It’s time for another weekly Round-Up. In this post we look at why the MTBI could be wrong, How you can use “sandwiches” to stop being late and some great free downloads for you.
The weekly round-up is a bit late this week as I had a rather busy week of it last week helping to organise a charity fund-raising event, football presentation night and karaoke all on the same night – it didn’t help that I (stupidly) decided to bake 48 muffins, a quiche, make a trifle and a whole host of other things as well so I’m afraid this post got pushed to the back-burner so my apologies for that!
I hope you have had a good weekend. I enjoyed mine even if it was a little hectic! And I hope Monday has been good to you. Keep an eye out later for another post with some exciting website update news!

What do you think? Do you think we should base our entire career paths on something that equates to 4 simple letters? Let us know in the comments.
3 Reasons You’re Always Late — and How to Fix Them – Daily Worth
How often are you late? Are you one of those lucky people who always breeze into a meeting 15 minutes early with an unnerving air of calm surrounding you whilst you wait for the people like me who are invariably 15 minutes late and are flustered and desperate for the toilet? If so, it may be because we’ve underestimated the length of “Sandwich” time we need, that is the time before and after the event itself. For example, with getting ready and travel time a 1 hour meeting may really take 3 hours. This article has some great tips to think about if you’re a chronically late person like me (although I’m getting a lot better, honest!)
