Mobile phones … Too hot to handle?

The debate over the safety of mobile phones hots up again. New studies (http://www.smh.com.au/national/-1fizk.html) have shown just how hot the phones get when held to the head.

The mobile/cell/handy is a tool we use daily, in fact since the iPhone came it’s a way of life to some and with how hot the Blackberry get (maybe we should call it the “hotberry”) those heavy business users might want to take head of the warnings. The question then remains if this is such a great business tool how can we use it safely?

How about:
- use it less
- use a corded mike/earphone
- use a Bluetooth headset (hopefully they are ok)
- use your desk phone or IP phone with a headset/mic

Just be careful and like most things, use in moderation is rarely bad for your health.

Exercising for Internet Marketers

Working Hard

Sitting at the keyboard for hour after hour, staring at your wonderful BIG monitor, checking keywords, building products, making posts and watching the money flood in. Can you see yourself in this picture. Think how much activity you do other than in your brain. Got that picture in your mind? Great!

This might be you view of your ideal day. Working for yourself, sitting there doing what you love. Just think for a moment…are you loving your body and is it loving you back?

While the alure of being an internet marketer is that you are your own boss, keep your own hours, and do whatever you want whenever you want it, is an attractive proposition. Can you honestly say you doing enough exercise to be healthy? I thought I was okay until I changed my routine and made a slight adjustment to the food I was eating.

My day now looks like this:

Wake at 6:30 and take some time to enjoy waking, exercise for 30-40 mins from 7:30-8:15, a nice warm breakfast after your exercise, from 9-1 get stuck into the major things you have planned for the day. By the time 1 comes around I have drunk lots of water but I barely notice the time. The I realise that I am hungry again and head out for a balanced lunch, just not sandwiches or other wheat products, lots of vegetables, then I am recharged and ready for the 2-5 push getting all the small tasks done. Now around 5 I take a break before having dinner around 7. This could be family time, read a book, talk to your partner, even go and socialise (just don’t exercise heavily). Eat around 7 then around 10 head off to bed for a good nights sleep.

I’ve been doing this routine now for coming up to 3 weeks. I have not felt as healthy and as full of energy for a very long day.

I realise some of you are saying that this is too structured. My experience is that the structure is good for me and I am getting more done.

Just wanted to share this with you. Try it – find your own rhythm for your body and mind, you might also be surprised!
