Your tips for managing stress

I would like to get your ideas for how you cope with stress, specifically:

-What unexpected methods do you use to re-energize on a daily basis, in the office? Stress ball? Play-Doh? Videos of kittens or babies?

-Aside from regular workouts, what “outside-the-box” things do you do to manage stress from a long-term perspective? Volunteer work? Meditate?

-Does your manager or company believe that healthy levels of stress will boost productivity? If so, how do you cope? When is it too much?

-What unusual things does your manager or company do to support stress management?

-How do you use stress to your advantage? Have you found a healthy way to harness it?

-How do you decompress and leave work stress at work, and come home to your family and friends ready to reconnect?

Share your best “outside-the-box” ideas!

Enjoy a stress free day!

How to turn off Location Services

Location Services can be a really nice feature to have when using turn-by-turn navigation or finding a nearby restaurant. Privacy, however, is also an important issue and sometimes it is better to switch this service off just in case. This can be done very easily:

1. Tap on your Settings icon

2. Tap on General

3. Tap on Location Services

4. To turn all Location Services off, toggle the slider at the top into the off position.

You can also turn off Location Services on a per app basis.

Have fun with your iPad!

Listen Up

Hearing loss is reaching epidemic proportions. This is true even for those who of us who don't play their music too loud.

We all expect to go a little bit deaf as we get older. But in this era of Bluetooths and iPods, hearing loss is starting younger than ever before. One in Five adults between age 48 and 59 are already experiencing hearing loss of some degree. One in five teens suffer the same.

Turn down the volume before it's too late.

I love that!
