There are only 24 hours in a day. Nothing we can do will change that. And for some, 24 hours might seem like an eternity; for me, it’s never enough. My to-do list seems to grow instead of shrink and one fleeting moment last week where it had only two items on it lasted for just that… a fleeting moment.

Want to transfer money to someone, try using Google Wallet. Wish you’d never been included in an e-mail conversation? Use the mute button to stop the thread reappearing and cluttering up your inbox.

If you can find ten minutes in your day, it’s worth a read.
