Are Webmasters Loosing Something ?

Written on September 16, 2007 – 1:11 am | by aditya |

Many of you may laugh out at the post title i think just because how a agressive webmaster and a SEO like me talking this stuff. But i am writing this post after the recent post made by Jim Westergren. on his blog in which is says that after owning a business which makes turnover of around 1 million $ per year, he closed down his office ,put a full stop to all services business and started a whole new life.  What mainly bothers me is the reason for which he left it. Perhaps those things were revolving in my mind from quite some time.


You will come to understand better if you just take a look at my routine (Most of these stuff don’t apply to Jim, his reasons are different) . I sometimes work whole nights and dont sleep for few days (bad for health) and sometimes i sleep in the day (disturbs the bio rythm of them body). Most of the time is spent in interacting and communicating with people on the internet and hence contributes to a bad social life, no real friends, no outing and no fun in life. All what is left is sticking to the computer 24×7. When i get up from the bed, i dont remember that i must go out for a walk or jogging, but i remember “Ohhhh, I hope the writer would have done the articles ” Stick to the computer and check emails. This way my weight became 80 Kgs.

Apart from Poor health, it contributes to bad Social Life too. I am 18 and i see my friends enjoying, going for movies, making girlfriends and other stuff. And me sticking to the computer 24×7. Do i love money that much that i should loose my friends and fun ? No I guess.

 What Am I Going to Do Now ?

I guess its time to reinvent myself too. (With Inspiration from Jim). No i am not quitting my business though since i need to reach a aim or a target.  However i will be changing my life style from today. The things which i will implement positively is -

1. Have a 7 Hours sleep atleast in the Night

2. Try to use maximum use of Phone with clients and friends rather than email

3. Excercise 30 minutes daily ( I need this badly to reduce that 80 Kgs)

4. Don’t Sleep in the Day

5.  Regularize eating habits, dont eat 10 times a day.

6. Drink less tea (Currently 5 - 10 cups a day)

    Hey, change the spelling from “Loosing” to “Losing” in the title of this post.

    why the fukc would you want to stop drinking tea?!?! unless its that Turner’s fake tea shti with loads of HFCT.

    If it’s actual tea, especially green, then continue drinking it all day long.
