Hyperconnectivity Stress
Are you on Twitter? Facebook? MySpace? LinkedIn? Other social
networks? Posting regularly? Checking your email every 15 minutes (and
immediately responding)? Check your RSS reader daily? Is it helping
your business? Cellphone on all the time? Is it helping your quality of
life?
We get caught up trying to keep up with the latest ways to boost our
business. In some cases, a small effort has a major benefit (for
example, a website allows people to find your online 24/7). But when we
spend too much time focusing on trying to keep up with “the world”, we
lose sight of our intimate network (people who truly know and care
about us). Hyperconnectivity is giving us the feeling of doing
something (having thousands of Twitter followers) but at the expense of
meaningful relationships (both in our personal and business life). It’s
also decreasing the amount of creative “unstructured” time that we need
to think deeply about issues. If we’re always reacting to a stimulus,
we have no opportunity to actually do something novel.
Before you jump into the latest business “fad”, find out the true
cost (time/money) and the real world results (profit, goodwill). You’ll
always hear stories about the person who made $100,000 overnight from a
Twitter feed, but remember that these stories are passed around because
they’re not typical. Focus on what works for you, experiment on new
things, but balance your return on investment (ROI) of your time/energy.

Re: Infographic: The 4 Main Stress Factors
- I'd like to reference that article in my next blog post as well.. I worked in sales for years and found that days when I was positive, relaxed where days that it was easy to sell. On days that I was stressed I found I would not reach target. Stress is good at times, but it very easily becomes problematic. I do a lot of very physical exercise and work now, to manage it.
