I thought this was a really interesting post and I am quite glad that wrote on this topic, there are not too a lot of other websites that consider this angle

Good points raised here, (at least the bits I could make out easily). I am color blind (protanopia to be precise). I mainly use Opera browser (no idea if that is important), and a lot of this site is a little difficult for me to read. I don’t wish to whinge, and I know it is my problem really, nevertheless it would be cool if you would bear in mind color blind surfers whilst carrying out your next web page redesign.

Hi – very great web site you have created. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to publish a remark to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically sweet. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a merchandising firm. I have always enjoyed playing with information processing systems and am trying to learn computer code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).

Although running a business sounds cool and all that. But in fact, I think you have to form a schedule so that you don?t get too involved. I liked that stuff you talked about ?life is balance?. Maybe hiring someone do your work is a smart idea.

Hi Jon.

You are absolutely right. There are many alternatives, such as Green Tea, Camomile etc. Regarding hobbies, again, you put it perfectly, a hobby is needed and moderation is key and if it works woohoo!

The site maybe called FreelanceApple and the reader base are majority freelancers, however some of the advice we give is business-y and therefore fits many different fields.

Man, this is the most truthful, depressing article I’ve read all day. You are so right. I have to chill on the coffee. Although, I imagine decaf could also work, if you like a hot beverage… or hot tea? The caffeine in green tea I hear is different than in coffee.

You must have a hobby right? I agree about T.V. and the video games, but those things just don’t interest people. I’m sure they struggle with something they could consider a time-waster other than T.V. and gaming. Of course, your point here is not to let anything at all consume all of your time or inhibit productivity, but for those of you who play games/watch T.V., it’s about discipline, and moderation, not quitting entirely. (Unless that’s just not possible for you.) I would even say the same about coffee. I have ALL of the symptoms mentioned in this article from coffee, and it was an eye-opener, so it’s time for a break. But, I love gaming, and I’m fairly productive, so no cold turkey on gaming for me.

Great article. Motivating. (And I’m not even a freelancer…)
