It's all too easy for a decade to fly by and to wake up one morning and ask yourself, "Where did the last ten years go?" As Wayne finds out this week from, Robert Pagliarini, author of The Other 8 Hours, that's something you can help avoid by investing some time and effort in yourself.

Those "other" eight hours is the time you're not at work or asleep. So put them to good use. Ask yourself where you want to be in three or four years time. How are you going to get there? What skills will you need. Do you have those skills? Probably not – which is where those other eight hours come in. You might not be able to switch careers overnight, but you can start using the other eight hours to get closer to your dream job.

The intro music to the Working Week is "The Warrior" by The EMP Project, used with permission of Blue Canoe Records.
