		<description><![CDATA[Hi Vijay, 

Glad you enjoyed the articles. Cheers for the suggestions. I&#039;ve always thought about adding a little blurb under each link, but being a university student, I often find myself writing these weekly posts at ridiculous hours of the morning frantically trying to meet the deadline I&#039;ve set myself. Will try and incorporate blurbs in the future though. I always try to give direct links to the main page of the articles but I&#039;m sure some indirect ones must have slipped through, thanks for pointing that out. As for the settling on a particular theme - I read on a wide variety of topics that pique my interest, and feel that variance keeps things a little more interesting as someone is bound to find something that&#039;s particularly useful to them. Plus they&#039;re only so many articles one can read on making lists before things start to get a little dry ;)

I&#039;m quite impressed with your birthday list and habit of sending handwritten messages by post - if only more people did that we would get rid of electronic greeting cards altogether, I detest them with a passion. Last one I sent was probably when I was 9 and even then it seemed like a bad idea.

		<description><![CDATA[Hi

Usually when I&#039;m waiting for something to download etc., I quickly flick through the recommended articles in Hamza&#039;s list and I was going to suggest (but it seems that Mush has beaten me to it) that Hamza also provides just a few &quot;tasters&quot; of the gist of the articles. While some article titles are self-explanatory, however, sometimes a blurb is often necessary to entice one to read further. Another recommendation would be to settle on a particular theme like EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT or DECLUTTERING(I&#039;m still not sure about UN-cluttering) or MAKING LISTS etc. I find it sometimes disconcerting to read about varying subject matter at one go. Lastly, when I accessed the links to some of the articles, I reached short excerpts of these articles and had to further &quot;click&quot; to access the article in its entirety - perhaps a link to the real thing straightaway? Once again, thank you Hamza for taking the time to suggest these lovely reading gems. I really enjoyed the one about the lists as I&#039;m a visual learner and can&#039;t visualise life without my ever-faithful moleskin and pen. My favourite list? I have a list of the months and days of the year with each person&#039;s (whom I know well like staff, client, friend or family) birthday recorded. Every week I check this list and post a simple birthday card with a handwritten message to the person - sometimes it is the only pleasant surprise they received for their special day. And Hamza, dare I say it - the electronic greeting card is a definite no-no!!!]]></description>
