But do agree in optimizing the use of both time and money. Also agree with Shane in that the distinction between of work and play can sometimes be very fuzzy.

Also I am not sure that things that are defined as work should always be avoided. Often the things that give us the greatest satisfaction are some of the hardest things to do.

I am concerned about maintaining focus on building the best online accounting system for the SME market. I believe there is a significant opportunity here, but that there is still a lot to do to maintain Xero's position as a leading SME accounting solution. For example, reporting is still very rudimentary, there is no stock control, the functionality in a number of the modules is quite basic, etc... I have been concerned with the amount of time being spent on building Xero Personal which is a completely different target market. I understand that for many SMEs there is a fine line between personal accounting and their business accounting, but I think that providing a solution to solve this for small business owners doesn't require all the Xero Personal features. E.g. maybe it just requires an add-on to the Expense Claim module to allow expenses to be pulled out of a personal creditcard statement, etc... I am still a Xero investor as well as customer, and I find a number of the features of the product extremely innovative. My only concern is that they do not divide their focus between two very different markets. I have a concern about focus at Xero at the moment and maybe you can address this in your Q&A.

I then created a quick spreadsheet to calculate her metric birthdays - she is 1,000 days old in 181 days time! I thought what a cool idea - alongside years, days are the only real constant - as months, hours, minutes and seconds are what we have created to 'measure' time. I then checked to see if anyone had created a site for this - and voila I stumbled on yours. Very cool - but now thinking about what to do with it!

It looks really unprofessional but i guess i am just going to have to keep it that way.
