Before I had children, I used to heading out all the time. Whether it was to go to the cinema with a few friend, enjoy a nice dinner, or watch the game, I would just take off without much thought. Now, I still enjoyed those things. But I can only go out and have a great time whether I know my children are with someone that I trust him and that they really like. My husband and I also once struggled to find someone to take care for our children when we were working, as well as some occasional nights out. But now I don't need worry about that any more. I am exciting to get help from a guide book. It feels good to find nothing that makes my life easier.

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or springclean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.
1. But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
◆ Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7：30 a．m., try getting up at 7：00 a．m. That halfhour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish. 2.
◆ Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
3. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.
◆ Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.
When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 4. Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
◆ 5.
A few minutes' chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.
When you're working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with.
A．Stay Focused on Your Work.
B．Take Breaks When Necessary.
C．If you have an office door, close it.
D．If you work like this, you'll usually save time.
E．Would you want me to make your day longer?
F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.
G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.
Why do people lie? Many psychologists agree that lying can start from childhood.
There are various reasons why children make false statements. They usually tell untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years.
Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become presentable and acceptable to other people. In some instances, teenagers tell untruthful statements to avoid criticisms from their families and friends.
As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits. Their knowledge on making up untruthful stories becomes more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines and if they fail to accomplish and do their tasks efficiently. Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home.
The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character. Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological(病态的) lying.
Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is associated with individuals who have the urge to tell untruthful statements. Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything. These individuals lie to meet the standards of other people who they want to please. These patients deceive other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure. One of the best ways of treating pathological liars is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times. This may be hard for them, but as they are accustomed to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories.
