Whether spending time on social media or concentrating on private concerns it's easy to understand how you can get so engrossed. Time flies when you're focused and interested in what you are doing. Be certain you set an alarm if someone is expecting you or if you've promised to carry out another task by the end of the day.

Thinking too much about recent events will keep you stuck in the past. Things may not have gone as planned but dwelling too long on this will open you up to downcast and negative feelings based on what you have lost. Look instead to the future and how you can make a situation work for you.

You're seriously thinking about joining a friend or relative in some adventurous plans they are making. This is someone who has a tendency to be extravagant. If you're working to a budget it might be a good idea to suggest you share expenses.

Jobs you have had to put aside lately now need your attention. In the workplace, you're behind in your estimates and there's a lot of catching up to do if you want to complete a job for a certain time. At home, a project started as November began is no further forward. It's up to you to find time to change this.

Jobs you have planned for the day will be quickly out of the way. If you're lucky enough to be enjoying a break or you're on the move in order to enjoy a few days away, you can anticipate a happy and satisfying few hours. If not, it may be time to arrange a trip for the not-so-distant future.

It couldn't be a better time to start something new. A close friend who knows you well will provide the incentive you need to keep you going. Just be certain to keep people who are known to give nothing for nothing at arm's length. Someone will try to take advantage of your hard-working nature.

Some things need to be changed. They aren't working and it is pointless continuing as you are. Once you have decided what you need to do it won't take a lot of effort to put some clever ideas into action. Take the initiative if you have come up with a way to improve jobs you are working on.

If you have a choice about it you will prefer to work alone. If on the other hand you find you have too much on your plate, you will be happy to place some jobs into someone else's capable hands. You aren't so proud to admit you need help and you will give others credit for work they carry out on your behalf.

There are things you have to do which will make it that you don't have time to stand around gossiping. Avoid people who are always running around looking busy yet doing nothing in particular. Someone has a habit of interfering and you really don't need their advice or help as this will only slow you down.

If you've been working from home for some time, you may long to climb back on the nine-to-five bandwagon. You miss bantering with your colleagues and clients and being out and about in different surroundings. Job hunting efforts will have interesting results but don't jump too fast to grab the first opportunity offered.

You're known for your volatile moods and tendency to spring unexpected surprises onto your friends and relatives. It may not be a good idea to change plans made with someone who is equally as known to be stuck in their ways. It would be almost cruel to try to shake their life up now when they need stability and security.

You really don't want to get embroiled in a friend's financial or romantic problems, especially if there are other people involved. The last thing you want to do is take sides in a family matter or commit to a situation that could cause you a lot of hassle in time to come.
