Feeling overworked? Well, that's probably because you are. And guess what? You're not alone. In fact, 20 per cent of the employees in Singapore are clocking more than 11 hours a day. It's more difficult than ever to maintain the right balance between work and home. It seems focusing on one means the other suffers, and it weighs on your conscience. So how to find the right balance for you?

I've shared a lot about getting to know people and building relationships. But one of the best ways to get to know someone is by actually listening. Listening is more than just hearing what the other person is saying: the sounds coming out of their mouth. It also means comprehending what they are saying and being able to give feedback to show that you value what they have to say.

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Yana Fry from YanaTV speak at our monthly networking event.

I've known people who roll their eyes when someone mentions 'time management,' and mutter under their breath, "I don't have TIME to worry about time management." The problem with that attitude is that good time management doesn't have to take much time or effort at all. The changes you make in your habits don't have to be huge. Even small changes can make a big difference when added together.

We are all familiar with the one-hit wonders. Those people that seemingly come from nowhere, appear in the collective conscious for a short period of time and then seemingly disappear from whence they came.
