Do you want to beat the heat this summer? There are a number of ways that you can easily do it. For starters, wear light colored clothes as these reflect light better than darker ones. And choose cotton whenever possible as it easily wicks away moisture from your body. Another tip is to maintain your air conditioning unit by checking and changing the filters when needed. Not only will it cool the room better, it will also help save on electricity cost. For more tips on staying cool during summer, take a look at these slides from Bourne Bathrooms.

“Many people would be better off if they did less and reflected more.” — Manfred Kets de Vries, INSEAD Distinguished Professor of Leadership Development & Organisational Change Despite making technological advances to speed up our work, we somehow find ourselves working more—not less. The busy lifestyle may deceptively make us feel productive and accomplished. But research has finally exposed the tolls of avoiding free time: depression, sleep deprivation, relationship breakdown and poor quality of work, to name a few. Doing nothing may sound like a waste of time, but it's one of the secrets to keeping your brain in top shape.

The Benefits of Doing Nothing

INSEAD

The Internet is full of articles on „How to succeed“ and „How to build a great company“ But while following those guidelines we often forget that there's a lot you just can't do. Learning from your own mistakes is good, but it's even better when you can learn from the mistakes of others. Everyone's favorite billionaire and Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has said “Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.” Enjoy the slides and a sense of humor is advised.
