The Cost of Being Sick
Each year I get sick about twice a year. Each time I may or may not lose work time (and therefore potentially income) depending on the timing of the sickness. As that happens I have to calculate any lost revenue. This last week I was sick on my trip to Texas. I didn’t have the energy to write once I was ‘off’ of work in the evenings and certainly was dragging myself out of bed in the mornings. In short the sickness cost me in non-work areas, but it still cost me at the conference I was at because I was much less likely to network and get time in communication with folks because I isolated myself so as to not get others sick.
The long term impact of those numbers may be hard to calculate, but I surely didn’t gain new readers this last week from a lengthy list of new articles. I did get some traffic from the guest post at GenXFinance - Trint from the Simple Dollar linked to that post and his blog just sends a lot of traffic. Its the closest to being ‘Dugg’ as I’ve experienced.
Progress may have been on hold, but I’ve been evaluating some new article ideas that should be forthcoming.
