Revamping...

I am tired. So damn tired.

This has been happening for awhile now. From the end of November '07, to be precise. Fever and asthma have been a part of my normal routine.. Just when I thought I was alright for a few days, I'd get fever again. It was horrible!

Finally switched to homeopathy last week. The results are slow, but at least I haven't had a

I've been sleeping early since this new year (or atleast most of the time the last month), and its been doing me a world of good. Occasionally (when I have a deadline to finish), I've been waking up at 5 am or so, and those 3-4 hours in the morning have been amazingly productive.

What I ended up learning is that proper sleep timings has such an amazing effect on your general lifestyle that it should so not be ignored.

I Totally agree. I used to travel to work in the peak hours once upon a time. Now I leave home at 7:30. What used to be 45 minutes is now 25 minutes. Even cooler, since I get to office by 8:00, I have this whole 2 hours of peace and I end up getting a LOT of things done. Even if it means working with someone for most of the time, I sit and plan my day in those two hours and believe me, planning is the way to Get Things Done... AND, I leave early (I'm back home by 4:30 or 5:00 PM) which again takes only about 30 minutes. What's great, its 30 minutes of being exposed to lesser fumes than what would be at 7:00 PM or so.

I think employers should start encouraging telecommute. For my team, I'm definitely thinking of figuring out a way to work most effectively through telecommutation. Its a problem worth solving.

You should follow the parent comment. I tell my friends to do exactly this --- go to work early and come home early --- but they do not listen. This involves going to bed early every day, including weekends. Once you get into proper sleeping times, it should be easy to follow the schedule.

What's the deal with homeopathy? I am under the impression that it is a sham. Maybe you know better.

Take care and stay healthy.

I agree. Homeopathy has been considered a placebo.

Really.. thats a major shift from your earlier work timings. How did you manage to get used to it? But yeah, it is definitely a lot healthier and also leaves a lot more time free to yourself!

What is "telecommute"? Working while traveling, or something?

I'm happy with homeopathy. The results are slow, in the sense, it's not like I sleep for 15 hours and wake up brand-new. But I've been on the meds for 10days now and for the first time in over 2 months, I have gone for so long without a fever. Better yet, I don't feel so dead tired on homeopathic medicines, unlike allopathy.

No, telecommute is actually no commute. In popular Amazon/Yahoo!/etc.,. terms, it is called "Work from Home" :)

Oh, namma WFH aa :D

Yeah my manager is nice enough to specifically send me home / wfh when I get an asthma attack or even when I just couldn't take the suffocating a/c. I myself was not so responsible :P
