The £800 Weight Loss Bet

Would you risk £800 for the chance to feel healthier and more energized? I am, and here’s why. Why Now? Right now, I weigh 95.3kg. That’s not my heaviest. My record was 115kg nearly 18 years ago.

How I use Trello for Productivity

How I Use Trello to Stay Organised (Without Losing My Mind) Have you tried Trello yet? It calls itself “the free, flexible, and visual way to organize anything with anyone.” And honestly, that’s a pretty good summary.

At the beach
