Blogged Out

There is a news yesterday about the death of 2 professional bloggers in United States. Apparently, there are professional bloggers (or what others called Internet Writers) that work super long hours, often to the point of exhaustion. There is an underlining danger to 24/7 stress if Blogging Activities are not managed well. Other bloggers have complained about weight loss or gain, sleep disorders and exhaustion.

There are no official diagnosis of death by blogging. There is also no certainty that the stress of the work contributed to their deaths. But familiy members of the two deceased have all along questioned their lifestyles and believed there is a direct connection.

I used to be under such stress when i started on the Internet as i was busy blogging my life away and spent less time exercising and socialising outside. Now, my health is much better with enough rest and play. I believe the most important message is to have a 'Balanced-Life" and everything will be fine.

What do you think??
