To me the subject of taking care of one’s health IS one to take seriously – and I’d advise you to, as well – whatever that means for you in terms of maintaining what works, or changing what doesn’t, starting now.

I say that because tomorrow is the three-year anniversary of my brother’s sudden and very unexpected death, probably from a heart attack. He was not a blogger, but a consulting engineer with his own successful consulting practice, so a small business person, as many bloggers are, too.

It is, for us in our family at least, an advisory, a cautionary tale. The whole “stop and smell the roses” bit? It’s real.

(On another note, my husband is a newspaper journalist, so I look at that profession with a different perspective than most).

The real point is to step away from the vehicle of the constantly plugged in life now and then. Really. Get a little fresh air. You’ll thank yourself.

Keeping a balance is important in everything in life, and this article serves to prove this, yet again.

Have an awesome weekend, everybody!

This article is hilarious. I first read about these people who “blogged” 24/7 on multiple outlets a year or so ago.

The article I read talked about the health problems that were starting to develop and it dealt with someone who had a heart-attack after just 6 months of it.

See some people are great at writing massive amounts of content, others at turning small pieces of content into a very valuable asset that earns money.

I think to be a great “blogger” you need to be in the middle of the two somewhere.

I agree. What makes bloggers the only ones dying from their job. I believe that blogging can be tedious at times but it was not the only cause of these death’s. It may have just sped up the inevitable. May they rest in peace.
