I do think Cherie makes a good point. While blogging can certainly be time-consuming and addictive (!), there are other jobs that are just as bad.

Many law firms think that they own you. I know firms where they buy you lunch so that you don’t leave the office. Don’t even get me started…

Hi Laura

I know I used to be able to handle a lot more stress and long hours than I can now – sometimes I think it’s a shame to be getting older and then sometimes I think it’s good – for self-preservation!!

Hi Douglas

Good practice – probably the most important exercise you do is the one where you push yourself away from the laptop and actually go to the gym!

Good Luck!!

I’m glad I’m 39?

All kidding aside, I recently joined a gym and force myself to go at least once per week. My fear is exactly what you write about above. I don’t want to die at the keyboard.
