Express Yourself- but be careful how you do it.
What a world we live in. Tech - Social Media Platforms - the ability to Stream TV programmes, Music and Films and download books - Online shopping at our finger tips available 24/7. We are more connected than ever before but is this a good thing? We can make ourselves “heard” in ways that we never dreamt of. Imagine Alexander Graham Bell inventor of the telephone, would be thinking about smart phones, text, IM, selfies, Twitter, Instagram, Emojis - the way we communicate is so very different to what Bell ever envisaged. Yet, whilst this could be considered as progress in leaps and bounds, has it gone too far? Is the way that we communicate across these different types of Medium a positive?
The Importance of Sleep
If you’re a night owl and you’ve tried waking up early, you know it’s one of the most difficult habits. It’s a pain to deal with grogginess in the morning and to be in bed on time with all the digital distractions nowadays. You probably already read a few articles (or books) on sleep and early rising. In those, you see the usual advice: have a consistent schedule on weekends
don’t use electronics late at night
eliminate blue light
don’t eat late dinner
have a morning/bedtime routine
All these points are important and they’ve been discussed to death everywhere on the internet. Instead, I want to talk about some less known, “ninja” tips that will make you an early riser faster. I’ve been coaching people on the waking up early habit for more than two years now, and there are few of those that pop up constantly.
Agents Resilient to Revenue Loss but Section 21 Changes Risks Driving Out Landlords
The Fixflo Lettings Report 2019 has found that in spite of revenue loss affecting almost
every letting agent, many are more optimistic about the future compared to the year before.
The Report which was supported by The Property Ombudsman and 20+ industry bodies and
software providers including ARLA Propertymark, mydeposits, Tenancy Deposit Scheme
(TDS), Deposit Protection Service (DPS), Property Redress Scheme, Landlord Law Services
and MRI Software surveyed 443 letting agents and 223 landlords. 523 tenants were polled
by YouGov as part of this research.
The Benefit of Testimonials — Are they worth the Paper They are Written On?
In the age of the Giant Megaphone — otherwise known as Social and Digital media, the consumer can voice their opinion pretty quickly. It is difficult, unless you have a lot of money or a very good lawyer, to make comments available for public consumption disappear. In an age where Trolls on the Internet are common place, bullying through social media is a day to day occurrence, a lot of companies are nervous about asking for testimonials, it is disappointing that we cannot be praised or seek praise for doing an exceptional job and providing an excellent service.
