Crash And Burn

Posted by Paul B | December 16, 2007 .

Not much of a post to come back with after my little break, it’s more an explanation of my why I’ve not been updating than anything juicy!

The truth is that since the beginning of September I’ve not been sleeping properly at all. A small part of the problem is the change in routine as my daughter switched from primary school to secondary school (it’s a much earlier start to the day for us all) but the major part is the worry/stress of coming up with those new ideas that pay the bills. Like just about everybody out there making money online I have an approach that involves me churning out fresh idea after fresh idea in the hope that 1 or 2 hit (for every site I have that makes 10 dollars a day I have 10 that make less than a dollar). As certain things that have worked in the past come to the end of their natural cycle I need to replace them with new ideas and in the current environment very few new things are actually making any real money. So stress leads to a tiredness which leads to a lack of good ideas which leads to stress?! It’s a bit of a vicious circle really and one that I’d like to break as soon as possible.

So cue Wednesday where I finally get to relax with my mates and drink beer (A cracking night out it was too). Of course one side affect of this is a good nights sleep, a first in months. Now my body has realised on what its been missing all it wants to do is sleep, so from Wednesday to today (Sunday evening) I’ve done next to nothing other than sleep. My eyes will only stay open for a few hours at a time, I’m either tired or have no energy all of the time. I’m not going to the gym or doing any exercise and my body is in a state of melt down at the moment (Yes I was half tempted to start the “I’m Falling To Bits Trying To Make Money Online Blog”). The good thing about all this is that eventually I will hit rock bottom, will feel refreshed, will get back in the gym and will start working (both mentally and physically). My plan for now is to try and relax, enjoy the Christmas break with my family just keeping what I have already ticking along ready for a resurgence of energy in the new year. Until that point updates may be sporadic, I’m not going to push myself to post daily but as and when something stand out happens I’ll sure let you all know about it (now might be a good time to think about subscribing to the RSS feed, at least that way you’re not wasting your time coming here if I’ve not updated).

Take it easy,
Paul B
