Comment Billing issues (Score 1) 65

Skype has also been plagued with billing issues. I had a subscription years ago, that bank card is now expired. I cancelled the subscription, years ago.. as soon as Microsoft bought Skype, I started getting emails saying my card was declined, with no recourse, no way to cancel the subscription they tried to start up on me again...

3.) Energy-drinks / sugary snacks nearby. Gotta keep the brain fueled up.

You mentioned energy drinks... I would like to add if I drink an energy drink on an empty stomach, I feel horrible from the sugar crash... Eating protein before and after helps me balance out...

Also, eat something healthy for breakfast... fruit is great because it's easily digested and takes minimal time to prepare! If you neglect your health now, you will pay for it later. I also gave myself kidney stones drinking 3+ energy drinks a day, they're not kidding when they say they're unhealthy! =)

At least not until the days work is done. Or you don't have any work the next day, depending on the person. Keeping your system clean definitely helps if you have to transition back from home employment to outside employment... It's a lot easier to pass a drug test if there isn't anything in your system... =)

Comment Pomodoro Technique (Score 1) 480

Try checking out the Pomodoro Technique... the basics of it are you set a 25 minute timer, work for 25 minutes uninterrupted, set a 5 minute timer and take a 5 minute break, after the 4th work session ("Pomodoro"), you take a longer break (15-30 minutes)...

This has helped my focus by having planned lack of focus moments... =) Hope this helps...

Comment Vitamin D3 (Score 1) 105

My theory is that, during the winter, we have far less sun exposure, due to shorter days, and people staying indoors to avoid the cold.

This causes a huge drop in natural Vitamin D3 levels. So I supplement with Vitamin D3, especially during the winter.

Now, I'm not a doctor or a scientist, but I never catch colds or the flu since doing this.

I also NEVER get the flu shots. I was exposed directly to the H1N1 swine flu for 3 weeks, and never came down with it.
