Managing A Form With A Cold

[Fait]

Hello,
This is part of life and it being winter over here I have got a cold (not going to cry about it though as it's part of life) So how do you push your self to stay on top of your forums/sites when you have a cold or flu or any other sickness?

Just something interesting I thought off for you all to discuss about :lol:

I try to give myself herbs and antibiotics that typically help with easing it. When that doesn't work well enough, I go straight to caffeine. That usually boosts my ability to clear it up to be able to work on stuff online.

Great Idea 😉

Mainly need ideas not allowing a cold to get in the way of my daily things.

I have a cold right now and it is also my birthday today, neither have gotten in the way of me doing what I need to. 2 days ago I coded an ad tracking system while the cold was in full effect (Could barely even leave the house).

You either let an illness get in the way of you managing websites or you don't, it's as simple as that.

 

[Fait]

Yep that's true 😉
Sometimes they say its recommended to rest for a few days that's what I'm currently doing so the body can recover faster.

If my site was active (its not since its only a few days old) I would ask staff to help.

And Happy Birthday 😀

I would personally get staff to take over for a day or two (one being admin at least) who knows how to do the same stuff you know. You need plenty of rest and you're in no condition to manage a forum. 😛

 

[Fait]

True 😉

Yesterday I had the whole day since I wasn't stable enough to do anything but today i'm well enough so I guess it's alright as long as you don't take to much time off.

Colds are nothing really, it's not like your arms aren't working, you just need to push yourself. 🙂

The first part of the cold is alright but I will get bronchitis after so it makes it harder but I will still try and push myself when I can.

Guess it depends how strong a person is.

The annoying part I hate about colds is the stuffy sinus's that happen after a week.

 

[Fait]

That's the worst part or even worse the congestion that comes with it.

Guess it's part of life..

If I have a cold,I can still surve on the internet and do stuff,just gonna do some stupid stuff while doing it lol

Cold's and flu's are very minor illnesses and you are home all day anyway, so I don't see how it would interfere with running a forum. Its always best to have other staff members on your forum so you can take time off whenever you need it.

 

[Fait]

I get brongites after a cold so it makes it abit harder the cold stage is nothing really.

Push yourself and tell yourself to get over it. 🙂

I would have my staff take over for the day and just post somewhere on the forum that I have a cold. You have to get better and I don't think sitting in front of a computer screen all day would help whatsoever. 😛

I make sure that I have enough reliable staff to look over things when I'm busy or sick. Thankfully, I have quite a few staff membres on most projects that are responsible enough to give that task to. Usually, when I'm sick, my whole house is sick and it's nearly impossible to get anything done.

I can do most things when I have a cold. I just need lots of tissue and I don't think it will stop me managing my forum. If it gets worse, ie, a flu, then I would take some rest and then get back on my forum as soon as I get better. I think it is important that you only work on your forum when you get better as you might mistakes while you are sick. I normally make sure that I have enough staff to manage the forum so there will always be staff members around while I am not.

Also, it is a good idea to reduce the chance of getting ill by doing lots of exercise and eating healthily. 😀

It does't impact my online activities, I just take medicine and move on. Part of life. Unless it was a bad case of something were I was really sick.
