Batten down the hatches

Idea

I see a lot of fiddling while the economy burns. In fact there appears to be an air of "phew that's over". The recession drops off the media's radar thanks to their infantile attention spans. Please be aware that this recession hasn't even started - and plan your coming years accordingly.

Take a break between jobs

Idea

Too often when we leave a job, we rush into another without taking a break.

If you take a breather, you will start the next job with renewed energy, instead of dragging yourself along on day one in recovery mode.
