: an injury or ailment resulting from the work one does or from the environment in which one works Hand injuries are an occupational hazard for typists.
1.
Burning out
I come near
the edge of the fire of burning out once every 6-8 weeks and then go back to
the safe zone. I guess trying to be on top of 'digital' for 15 years (where
things change dramatically every 15 days) is tough. I just hope I can keep
having FUN - the antidote to burnout
2.
Neglecting
"Me"
What am I doing for ME? I ask
myself. I meditate every day, exercise moderately, and read, daily but could I
have done more if I had a 10-6 job?
Err to think of it, in a city
like Mumbai, the 10-6 job doesn't exist, even if you are a bank receptionist.
Thankfully I stay 7 minutes from my office so I kill the commute but invest the
time saved at work :-(
The loss is that I could do more
- Study, learn, cultivate a hobby, travel etc.
Oh, I wish I worked 4 days a
week and just wrote all day on Friday.

Future
Planning
When does an Entrepreneur
retire?
Never :-(
So, at 82, I will still be
checking comScore traffic data and Apple app ratings and banging my then bald
head against the orange wall when an app of mine gets a 3.76 star ratings?
A person's career goes on, but
an entrepreneur's future is fraught with 'doing everything yourself and
starting from ground zero all the time'.
4.
Social Sync
I've BECOME A SOCIAL Zombie
because I stare at digital screens all day, play & drive virtual cars,
serve virtual customers and constantly keep staring at buttons and links and
how to improve UX (user experience) and UI (user Interface)
When I go into a shop, I look at
the way the shop is laid out and find 10 faults in its layout.
In a plane, I want to train the
cabin crew - not get served by them.
I can't have a conversation with
any of my relatives because I find them uninteresting.
