We’ve succumbed to the realities of carrying a pager, responding to emails with our smart phones, working during the weekends and burning the midnight oil to get the next big IT project rolled out. This, coupled with fighting fires on a regular basis makes us feel that we need to get a life and wait for the next scheduled vacation getaway.

As a fourth generation workaholic, Edwin decided to embark on a journey to discover the secrets of highly productive professionals while keeping stress levels to a minimum.
