How does your day stack up?

Have you ever wondered how other people spend the 24 hours they have every day?
If asked to recall every minute of a single day, what would your chart look like? Are you really working every minute in the office, or would some of those minutes be consumed by eating, socializing, shopping and phone calls? If [...]

Raise your glass (August)

This is genius. If you have not seen it, you can thank me later. It won a Grand Lion at Cannes — the first time something other than a TV campaign has done so.
