Welcome to the round-up post for my Boost Health Awareness mini-series, part of the Looking-Glass Translations productivity programme!

Get healthy, get happy, get things done!

This week I’d like to round off the first mini-series in my productivity programme, which was all about boosting your health to boost your business. Below you’ll find all of the articles in the series – meaning that you now have a handy one-page reference to help you on your way!

So what’s next?

I’m so glad you asked! Now that you’re all health superstars, the Looking-Glass Translations productivity programme will be moving on to how to analyse how you use your time.

This is a key skill for anyone who has a job (i.e. most people around the globe), but some are better at it than others.

The second productivity mini-series, Analyse Time Usage, will give you the tools to work out exactly how you’re doing, and lay the foundations to take things to the next level without even breaking a sweat.
