Do You Have Online Tunnel Vision?
By: Susan at Vector Central
This week, as we work online, let's do our best
to be
patient with each other. It's also important to realize that
the person to whom you're emailing might be taking a day off
-- What!!! A day OFF??? Can we do that as online
publishers and web site owners???
YES we can! -- YES,
You can!
It's very important to break away from the stress
and
demands of "all those emails" that flood in every
day. How
many do you receive? In the hundreds? Some days, along with
my daily online work, I just can't get to it all - can you?
We are working in an online environment where
we can not
visually see if the co-worker in the adjacent office is
taking the afternoon off, going to a meeting, having a
family emergency, sick with the flu, or... taking the week-
end off, as normal workers should for their family growth
and to keep good health.
Is your health important??? Well, what a silly
question for
me to ask! Of course it is!!! Can it be ruined by working
24/7 - Yes, it's logical that no one should work round the
clock. We all know the statistics, the stress books, the
ones in the hospital from not recognizing when they had
gotten caught up with "Online Tunnel Vision."
Have you become one-with-your-computer? Is your
monitor
attached to your brain? If so, then you have "Online
Tunnel
Vision!" Have you looked out the window in the last 3
hours?
Do your eyes hurt? Get up and take a 15-minute break! Have
you even gone to the bathroom lately? Urologists state that
one of the reasons for kidney infections is from repeatedly
not going immediately when you "need" to. Does your
back
hurt? Get up and take that 15-minute break!!!
What's the solution to break away from Online
Tunnel Vision?
Just "Get Up and Walk Away" for a few minutes or
even hours.
Your computer has no control over you - or does it??? Don't
wait till you're sick in the hospital to realize that your
life and family is more important than meeting the constant
demands from your online mailbox. Your snail mail arrives
only once a day at your office and home. Online mail arrives
"every" single second of "every" single
hour of "every"
single day! Now, That's Demanding, isn't it!!! Only "we"
can
control ourselves from allowing these demands to saturate
our mental logic and ability to keep this constant
insistence from our mailbox to ruin our health.
1. Limit your hours of working online each day.
2. Be a good boss to yourself. You deserve 15-minute
breaks!!!
3. When you receive an email from someone who
is annoyed
that you didn't answer immediately, do your best to be kind
to them in reply, but let him/her know that you're human.
Aren't they? Sure they are, but they've forgotten.
4. Yes, you have "all" that work to
do today, but a good
boss would tell you it's time to go home after 8 -10 hours
and get some rest. Control your computer! Separate yourself
from it! That's right - just get up and walk away. I'm going
to do that right now and guess what - you're still reading
this and it didn't disturb the world for me to take a needed
break. I'll be back in a few minutes. ;)
5. Ahhhh! That was a nice 15-minute break! Try
it - Just get
up and walk away and do something relaxing for 15 minutes.
Then come back and send me the results.
