I am betting some of you who have been successful enough to go full time in this business, easily spend every waking minute on the computer. So: 1. Lots of doctor visits for carpal tunnel syndrome? 2. Blurry vision? 3. weight gain? 4. Lost real friends...gained virtual friends? With the news about the famous bloggers dying of heart attacks how do you balance online money making with forcing yourself away from the computer?
I didn't lost friends my healt is not great but not bad and i go ou when i whant (that's the beuty of not having a job i'm free) and my weight it was allways a problem ....
I must agree with you I lost real friends and gained loads of virtual friends, Lost weight, Regular visits to the doc for some problem or the other Still I'd say I'm Loving this job
im blind, developed some muscles , n goin nuts but dont have any other places that i can afford to be rather than online cheers!
step away from computer for 5 minute every hours. look at sometime far away (better something green, like some tree) exercise daily and don't don't snake while you work, you will be fine
I do a fine balance between my online job and offline job and will never allow the former to overtake the latter. Thereby, I keep myself fit
14h straigth? That's crazy. Every couple of hours you should make a break, take a walk if possible, get some air.
14 hours! I'm suprised you could move after that period of time. Take regular breaks and do exercise. Just because you love the internet and make money from it, doesn't mean your vision,health, general well being has to suffer.
I still do a 9-5 with my business get down a gym and have nights out with the lads. If your working 14 hour days your not working to live your working to exist.
well if you specify the same schedule as offline work, there shouldnt be any problem say follow the same break time and such, since online, offline both involve the same for most where you sit down and do work. as for friends case, yes you may lose firends but then again, this worl there are IMs to keep in touch and you could still hang out as usual on weekends (as if work holiday) because think about it, the only reason you are working online full time is because you are getting paid the same or more so following same schedules as if at offline work isnt too hard
Take my advice. Never allow yourself to sit at a stretch for more than 2 hours. Have some chat with your pals. And then get back to your works again. We need to maintain our health, don't we? After all, money isn't everything
