2020 – a new year, combined with a new decade. For some,
it brings a newfound (and likely short-lived) determination to do
more exercise/healthy eating/relaxation, cut back on any or all of
the usual excesses, or both. January also heralds a period of
introspection, coupled with a raft of "resolutions".
Column inches are meanwhile filled with "predictions" for
the coming year.
This year, bush fires in Australia, Brexit, political
confrontations in many parts of the world and climate change have
brought the precarious nature of our wellbeing to the forefront.
Globalisation and technology have brought many benefits,
streamlining everything from payments to home heating. The modern
workplace is barely recognisable from that of only a generation
ago.
