Here are some suggestions for computer users: 1. The computer monitor must be placed directly in front of you. The top of monitor should be no higher than eye level. 2. Keyboards should be placed low, so that arms can hang at your sides with foreams at right angles to upper arms and wrists straight. 3. Feet are flat on floor; weight is on sitting bones. There should be a slight arch in your low back. 4. Your breastbone should be lifted, creating a lengthened space between navel and breastbone. This brings your head back to an aligned position. 5. Placement of mouse should be a close to body as possible so there's no reaching. It's better to use a ball, because fingers are designed for small, precise movements, shoulders are not. 6. A timer set to ring every fifteen minutes or half-hour is a good way to check on your posture. 7. Sleep on your back, not sides, until symptoms subside. Use a flat, thin pillow.

The following exercise is meant to be done once every hour during day, and, lastly, in bed just before sleep: Lying on your back with hands clasped behind your head, elbows resting on floor or bed, tuck your chin into your neck as if to make a double chin. Keeping chin tucked in, gently press your head back into your hands. Hold for a count of ten. Then relax your chin and neck and take a couple of deep breaths. Do a total of three presses in a set. Do one set only every hour.

3. Advertising.

This is of course life blood of any business and probably hardest to organize. There are so many different aspects to to advertising and differing schedules that these aspects take place in.

When you first start in a business venture you are usually advised to take some time and get familiar with website and and ad materials available to you. This is excellent advise but you should take it a step further and take time to copy ad material, catagorize it and save it to a folder inside folder for that business. That way, when you start to advertise your business you will not have to go searching for information you need.

In your advertising folder you could have a notepad document with "Text Ads", one with "Banners", one with "Ezine Ads", "Solo Ads", etc. This method keeps everything you need at your finger- tips and also gives you consistancy in your advertising.

Different types of advertising need to be placed at different times on, different schedules and yet need to be tended on a regular basis in order to be effective. A good way to do this is also with a notepad document. When you place an ad, take time to note where and when it was placed, when it needs to be placed again, and ad campaign that was used.

A simple scheduling program could also be used to keep track of when and where ads need to serviced. If you take time to setup a scheduling program and go to it daily to remind yourself of what needs attention that day, your time will be used much more effectively and you won't neglect any of many aspects that need to be used.

This is by no means a complete list of what needs to be done to be successful in a business venture, but is intended to get you off on right foot from start.

To Your Success,
