NHS Startup Part XI – Cultivating Criticism
I am receiving more and more feedback about my service. Both from patients and the NHS staff using my service. Today was the first time that I had the full backing of the NHS employees using my service. Before today, I have just felt like a crazy outsider trying to do something ridiculous. Now that there is momentum… Continue reading NHS Startup Part XI – Cultivating Criticism
Yak Shaving
Yak shaving is something coders and programmers talk about a lot. The term was originally in reference to a Ren & Stimpy episode, but became widely used in MIT, took on its own meaning and then spread from there on.

The Paradox Of Choice
Having a choice when starting a business seems to be a massive distraction and one of the major pitfalls a CEO could face.

Multitasking Is Not A Myth…(Kind Of)
People say that multitasking is impossible to do. The human mind simply cannot process more than one thing at a time. As soon as you change gears from reading, to checking e-mail, to answering a phone call etc. you are wasting valuable time switching from one gear to another. Interestingly enough good organisations and highly productive… Continue reading Multitasking Is Not A Myth…(Kind Of)
How To Make Money
I was very scared when I was 19 years old. I had just committed to paying several hundred thousand pounds, move to a different country where I didn't even speak the language and ended up working over 80 hours a week. I literally had no time to eat a lot of the time and spent… Continue reading How To Make Money
