How to make your co-workers love you: Learn the tea orders of your workmates

Although this might seem simple and of no importance whatsoever, learning how your co-workers take their tea is a great way to get involved in the office environment. OK, so let’s be reasonable, if your office is the size of a football pitch you could possibly side step the tea round, however in smaller offices it is the polite and socially correct thing to do. Not only does this look like you actually take notice of people but it is an easy ice breaker, it’s as simple as that.

Top 5 excuses for not having sex

Most common excuses for skipping sex

In a study of 4000 British adults, one in five admitted to regularly making excuses for not having sex. In a world that’s becoming increasingly chaotic, it’s unsurprising to hear that the most exciting thing that happens between the sheets nowadays is simply sleeping. Here are the top five excuses we use for not having sex:

“Please babe, I’ve been at work all day and I’m tired” – oh, that old chestnut. A recent study has revealed that the “I’m too tired” scenario has become the top excuse to avoid having sex, with “I have a headache” stepping down from first place to third on the list. As many of us seem to be working longer hours than ever before, it’s no surprise that when we reach our bedroom it’s often less of the passionate kissing and sexy underwear, and more about the unattractive pyjamas and comfortable slippers. Sometimes we even use “I’m too tired” as an excuse before we’ve even thought about whether we’re tired or not. In actual fact, sex floods the brain with relaxing chemicals such as oxytocin, which calms down our brains and compliments our sleep. Suddenly sex is back on the menu...

Sex at a wedding                                                                                                      

When you ask most sex experts to rank the five places you really ought to have sex they all inevitably say somewhere you can get caught; yawn. We’ve heard it all before. To get really turned on you have to have sex somewhere where you can get caught by a lot of people, which is why a wedding is the perfect place to up the ante. Not only are there at least 100 or so people, you’ll know a lot of them, which pretty much maxes out the risk factor and will give you a huge shot of adrenalin. If you’re still not convinced about the erotic benefits of having sex at a wedding, remember everyone will be looking their best and there will be lots of pretty girls and gorgeous guys to choose from. Plus a wedding is full of secret little hideaways and plush furnishings so you and your date can get it on in style and, fingers crossed, without actually getting caught.

7 common sex problems explained

Common sex troubles

Sex has been idealised so much in movies and magazines that we’d be forgiven for thinking that we’re the only people in the world who encounter a few problems in the bedroom department.

10 ways to break bad habits

How to free yourself from bad habits

If you’ve been promising yourself that you’re going to ditch that bad habit for a while but have never quite got around to doing so, it could be time to take the plunge. To help ensure your success and make the process a little less painless, check out these 10 ways to break bad habits.

Change one thing at a time                                                                                    

You may have a few vices you would like to be rid of, but it is important that you don’t try to break all your bad habits at once.

Instead, prioritise and pick the habit you most urgently need to change first. Also, try to set a definite goal to work towards rather than a vague “I’m going to stop being so unhealthy”.  Identify what exactly it is you need to do (or stop doing) and make that your focus.

Take control and avoid burnout

Don't feel you have enough control over your life? Here are 10 great tips to help you declutter your life and gain control once again.

Eliminate the unimportant things by being ruthless about it — which will be easier to do if you recognise that there are many activities which will only waste time and won’t add much value to your life!
