New format this week. We've talked about lots of different subjects, now we're committed to doing something every week.

Here are some highlights:

1. Don’t be a perfectionist
2. Carve out specific time to work on each thing 
3. Learn to say no
4. Have an arrangement if you miss a commitment and be able to anticipate
5. Put the most important thing in your diary first
6. Involve others
7. Volunteer because you will make friends who have your values
