5 ways to increase your energy levels

If there is more than one electron around the atom, electron-electron-interactions raise the energy level.

Off course, everybody knows that. But instead if getting help from electrons like an atom does what can we do to increase our energy level during a long day at and after work? Here is number one of 5 secrets to survive the next day…

#1. Stop being lazy

Lazyness … is according to wikipedia: a disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to do so

Ok - you should all recognize this-, when I got home from work around 5.30PM I did this:

- opened the door (you kinda have to if you want to get in..)
- fed my kitten
- ate a rice biscuit
… and jumped with my lazy ass on the couch pressing the power button on the remote control of my tv.

Now, that’s bad. Crashing in front of tv is bad for your energy levels. If you lie down, you tell your body it can rest now. You’ll feel sleepy and energy-less. Your mind is all like “Dude, you should do something”, but it takes a lot of effort and determination to hit the power button again, get up and do something. TV is the number one time-waster and it’s the most passive thing there is. So stop watching fucking LOST! (Gary Vaynerchuk) - get up and do something! The hardest part is not the work you do, it’s to convince yourself you should do it! So stop reading this blog! You have a million better things to do! Go (but please come back tomorrow for another tip, #2)!

Developing KISS principles - intro

With over 2 years of developing software for both Indie Group and Televic Education one of the biggest problems we’ve always encountered was keeping a product/project simple. First of maybe you are familiar with the term KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid! I always say: Keep It Super Simple! I picked up this term up for the first time when a basketball coach said to me I had to keep everything I did on the court Super Simple when he thought I forced things too much. In the next few posts I’m going to explain a few KISS principles that can help with developing and maintaining an online software product/project. Anyway these posts are meant to open up the discussion, I don’t want to state the perfect way to optimize an online software product, I’m just saying there _is_ a cure for the “complexitis” disease like I like to call it.
