It’s a brand new year! Let’s imagine that this year, you made a major resolution to improve the quality of your life. You’ve read all about the benefits of leaving work on time, so you hunker down and say, “Okay, I’m gonna leave the office by 6pm every day, no matter what!” I tried that last […]
Last Friday, my iPhone alarm rang at 5am. I slammed it shut and rolled out of bed, feeling very sleepy and a little grumpy. But I headed straight to the shower because… I had to go party.

Quick question: How many hours of sleep did you get last night? 6 hours? 7? 4.5? Some people are secretly proud that they don’t get much sleep, and they wear their sleep deprivation like a badge of honour: “I’m damn shag today because I had soooooo little sleep last nigh…..zzzzzzz.” But when you don’t get enough
(Pre-post note: A bunch of you were psyched about using Lift after last week’s post, so I decided to do a series of posts on apps that I’ve found useful.) Sooooo – let’s talk about to-do lists.
