Blogging Isn’t Going To Kill You
I know this topic is a few weeks old at least, but I still think my take on it is good. Remember the NYTimes article about how “bloggers are dying”. I call b.s.
Look, the people they mention in that piece are all complete workaholics. Anyone who works like that is going to have problems. You need to ask yourself what is most important? Health or money? I choose health. Now I need to go lose some weight and prove it. But you get my point?

I cannot stand too much time in front of a computer, if the hobbie of these ppl would be drinking or eating they will be dead as well.
I had a conversation with my husband last week that was pretty much exactly your point. The NY Times might as well have told people that working will kill them - no direct correlation. Pretty irresponsible journalism in my opinion.
The press (mainstream and internet both) have a habit of jumping on a good headline, whether it is true or not. Heck, since I've been blogging and doing affiliate marketing, I've lost almost 100 pounds. Working from home gives me the time and flexibility to work out when it feels best for me, which conditions me to want to do it because it feels good. If nothing else, you can use workout time to start planning your next post or to work through a bit of writer's block.
Very true Mat. But I think the point was that it's workaholics that suffer, in any industry.
