Lockdown, Reading Promotion and Time Usage
The week before last, I blogged about how the lockdown and working from home is having an adverse effect on my writing. But surprisingly, it’s promoting my Kindle reading.

Continued on from my post last week, here’s what I learnt about communication and collaboration from my involvement in the epub: Communication Never speak to each other under the influence of emotion.
