The best book I've read this year is Scott Tinley's <i>Racing The Sunset</i>, which is about what happens to world-class athletes when they are forced to finally retire, either through injury or age, or whatever. It's an incredible book, and written in a way that we can all relate to. Most of us were never good enough to be pros, but we've all had to look at our own mortality at one point or another. That moment when you realise you're not as good as you used to be is a real killer. Of course, it hasn't happened to <i>me</i> yet. ;) I’ve still to get around to reading that book, alongside about a dozen other books I’m either part-way through or yet to start.

I seem to be guilty of all the common mistakes he says people make with regard organisation and it's only really a matter of an afternoon to get it sorted. So why not. I'm on the path to enlightenment. I’m half way through ‘Getting Things Done’ (courtesy of a colleague) and I’m going to give the whole system a shot and see how it goes.

I certainly wished I had a pack when I first started for so many reasons. #1 being: having support and help to push past the tough times that feel like they are long from being over - although I would still call myself new in the world of blogging compared to someone like Chris Garrett. In conclusion: Sheamus, are you going to be the leader of a pack? ;) I absolutely adore the Blog Pack idea (and blog tagging)!
