As we drift into summer here in the northern hemisphere, the days
get longer, but at the same time the nights get shorter. We still
only have 24 hours to work with, how are you making best use of
your time?
Are you using Action Enforcer (free to members), for example? I do,
and couldn’t be without it.
There’s an interesting discussion about productivity not being as
important as creativity, what do you think (linked further below).
My feeling is, creativity is awesome. One good creative idea can
change your life.
But to me, productivity is the difference between having more time
to spend doing the things you like with your family, friends, or
for your business, while waiting for the next creative thought.
And if you aren’t productive, you won’t have as much free time to
spend just thinking about things.
Both are important, which are you going to work on today?

Special announcement:
If you’ve been following me in the Kindle Case Study, which is
currently sort of paused, but will start up again soon for phase 2,
you know I produced a book about stress.
And you know how horribly stress affected me from about the age of
35 on for quite a while. The symptoms went away after I self
diagnosed stress as the cause and took measures to cope with it,
but I still catch myself needing to calm down and relax when I
notice the symptoms occasionally.
And you know how I came to find out that stress is a major
contributor to most of the biggest causes of death, such as cancer,
heart and lung diseases, suicide and accidents.
And my research concluded that it can also destroy relationships,
cause loss of productivity that can erode job performance…
To say nothing of the fact that the medical profession will be
quick to advise specialists, pills, surgeries, when all you
sometimes need to do is chill out (but that’s not profitable
advice, is it?)…
All bad.
My book has been selling well, at a very low price, and when I
bought Andy Brocklehurst’s iCurator Pro this week, and was looking
for something to do with it, the first thing I thought of was a
little app to help people relieve stress.
I spent some time yesterday putting this together, I hope you like
it:
http://earn1kaday.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/StressReliefApp.zip
It only runs on Windows, unfortunately, but if you can check it
out, I’d be interested in feedback because I’m pretty sure stress
affects almost 100% of us, right?
Feel free to pass the app around to anyone you want, I think it
might help a lot of people.
And if you don’t already have my book, the Kindle page is linked
from the button that’s titled “297 Stress Relievers”, it’s only
99 cents for now, so that as many of my readers as possible can
get it, and I’d really appreciate the love.
If you don’t have a Kindle, there’s a free app for the PC, smart
phones, iPads, iPod Touch, and probably more.
Let me know what you think, I’d appreciate it.

Remember, there’s a special section in the forum called “Special
Offers (By Authors), where members offer their products at a
special price to members.
I’d rather not highlight each one individually, so that this email
doesn’t start looking like a classified ad section, but sometimes
you can get some nice bargains and support your forum friends, so
please remember to check it out next time you drop by the forum:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=23
##########
Reminder: If you’re new to Earn1KaDay, or didn’t remember this, all
the weekly emails, from the beginning of time, are archived on the
blog here:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/wp/
If you ever miss an email, or want to check the archives, you can
always go there and do a search.
Another reminder: I get asked (a lot) about the affiliate program
to Earn1KaDay. A thread was set up long ago with details, here:

That’s just a short review of some of the highlights, there is much
more going on all the time at the forum. Don’t be a stranger
there, that’s where the primary value of your membership is, after
all. We’re not there to chat so much (though there is a lounge
there if you want to unwind), we’re there to learn from each other,
and share with each other, and as you can see from the above sample
threads, there’s a lot of that happening.
