Improving My Posture

Improving My Posture

Introduction Common behaviour towards posture isn’t too dissimilar to common behaviour towards pensions. Towards both, individuals often fail to invest suitably in them while they are young, they fail to compound the benefits and don’t take corrective action early or invest sufficiently, and they suffer later in life as a result.

There is a strong argument to say that there are now too many inputs and options in our lives making it more and more difficult to find what we really enjoy and relate to. It is with this in the forefront of my mind that I write this post. In this piece I want to highlight my favourite men’s lifestyle websites…

Switching to Office 365

Switching to Office 365

Introduction  ‘The cloud’ is often seen as a big, scary and difficult to understand entirely. The aim of this piece is to explain why this isn’t the case by giving an overview of what Office 365 is and why it’s something you should consider adopting. I hope through explaining Office 365, including benefits, negatives and different uses for it, I’ll start to de-bunk some of the complexities of the cloud. Office 365 is the Microsoft cloud version of Office, which…
