Last night I made one of my rare visits to London to meet up with people at the Ecademy 10th Birthday Celebrations at the Selfridges Hotel. Over 500 people were crammed into a pretty small area. Trying to match names to faces and faces to names. Most people were wandering round the room glass or bottle in hand glancing at about chest height to read people's name badges before then connecting with the face and seeing if they recognised them.
It was a great opportunity to meet up with people I've been connected with online but never actually met in person as well as some familiar faces who I have met before. Not only do people not necessarily look like their photos but you forget about the height thing. You have no idea of a person's height, so it's surprising when someone you thought was short turns out to be tall and someone who you'd got in your mind as being tall is actually quite short.
Even when you have a photo - you still form a picture in your mind of what the person actually looks like and sounds like. When you meet them in real life the reality is different. After all, you're talking to a real life person and not a 2D snapshot of them.
If you spend time networking online - exchanging messages or even talking on the phone isn't the same make sure you meet up with people in real life too. It makes a big difference.
Time management solutions for busy people - organise your business, your life and have fun.

February Newsletter - Where Does The Time Go?
My latest newsletter is just out. This month's main article is about where your time goes each day.
Do you wonder where your time goes? It’s easy to get to the end of the day and wonder what you actually achieved and where the time went even though you feel as though you’ve been busy all day.
If you don’t know where you’re spending your time then you’ll find it harder to organise and prioritise what you need to get done each day, particularly the important things that are going to make a difference.
- if you'd like to read more of the February issue, let me know and I'll be happy to send it to you or you can just sign up on my website and you'll also receive my free Time Tips.

No Country For Old Men
Now what was that all about? A totally strange or rather a quirky film but then what else would you expect from the Coen brothers. None of the Hollywood glitz, glamour and CGI action that you get on the big budget productions. This was gritty realism - taking place in the dry desert of Texas or in low-budget motel rooms.
Great stuff but with a disappointing end ... at least for those that like a definite conclusion.
