Great article from Christine! Definitely written from one who's been there. Christine has done a great job of combatting the burnout and provides some great advice for us all to heed in this article.
Know where you're coming from son, been there done that, great article.
This is very spot on from my point of view. I can literally sit and work for 10 hours straight and not even really know it. Forcing yourself to do other "real world" things is a must in this business.
I seo have SEM burnout! Dammit!
I think "the Ultimate Seductress" is way pushing it if you are using it only for your clients.
Heres a possible #11
Consider starting a few sites that will create enough income so that you no longer have to work with clients. Even though you are super-busy, you could make an hour a day and be Project Manager for yourself and outsource the work you need done.
Within 6 months you could be experiencing the joy of peace and relaxation or the joy of working like mad on your own stuff.
Such an important article. I'm going to print this out and stick it on my corkboard to remind myself to stop stressing! Thanks for the wake up call Christine
It's called "Internet addiction". Working on the computer too many hours, 7 days a week. Not turning off the computer at the end of the day even though you know you should. And when you do turn off the computer, you can only think about what happens on the computer. I know many SEOs with this problem.
