Office & Worklife

Are you  click happy?  How many more subscriptions, professional organizations, newsletters do you really need?  Does it seem like you can't be creative and innovative because your work plate is full of emails, voicemails, reports, faxes and deadlines?   Technology offers us great productivity tools however, it's creeping into your personal time and violating you.

Have you heard about TECHNOSTRESS?  Everyone is trying to multitask which leads to fragmented attention spans.  We try to rev up our nervous systems constantly - the result is poor sleep, indigestion, hearburn, heart problems, poor health - you get the point.  

We feel strange if we aren't plugged in all the time. You can learn to use technology to control the boundries.  For example, when two people are having an important conversation why does one person feel compelled to answer their cell?  Isnt' that what voicemail can do for you?  When you are with someone you should honor and respect them by devoting your FULL attention to that person. (You can call the other person back and devote quality time to that person as well) There are ways to set boundries and reduce stress.
