I like the concept of Command Time, and the potential for using it to validate any absence from my desk. I'm taking Command Time! sounds so much more, well, commanding than muttering, I'm just nipping out, so I'm pleased to hear Nanson has more of these appellations up his well-ironed sleeve. * SPECTATOR LIFE * These military men are on to something. Something as simple as making the bed really can change the mood of the day. Starting right increases your chances of tacking the to-do list with a sense of calm if not ease. * INDEPENDENT * Brilliant, practical advice.
