Now that April has arrived (yeeey!) it is hight time to start thinking about the month as one to be really productive, especially if you have fallen off the wagon already. What you had set yourself from January, you haven’t kept to completely, and you are worried how you will be able to keep to your plans…
Ever wondered if there ever was a time before politics rules the lives of everyone and social media wasn’t even around?
