What suggestions do you have for management?

"This simple time-management strategy really works, Faced with a task that were not keen to do, we waste our time in preparation, rather than dealing with the actual task. Studies of human activity have shown that people are most effective at the end of a working period and to some extent, at the beginning. For example, we race through tasks at the end of the working day in order to get things done before we go home. Applying this knowledge, if we work in short bursts on the task through out the day we can maximise the beginning and end effect and miss out the less productive time in between."

"Enjoyed working technical skills."
