How to Avoid Blogger Exhaustion

The Puppy Blender points out this New York Times story about bloggers blogging themselves to death.
They work long hours, often to exhaustion. Many are paid by the piece — not garments, but blog posts. This is the digital-era sweatshop. You may know it by a different name: home.

A growing work force of home-office laborers and entrepreneurs, armed with computers and smartphones and wired to the hilt, are toiling under great physical and emotional stress created by the around-the-clock Internet economy that demands a constant stream of news and comment.
Blah blah blah. It goes on to list some bloggers who have died of heart attacks in the classic MSM way of confusing individual incidents with trends. Whatever. Here at the 'Post, our Maximum Leader shows the way to avoid blogging exhaustion.

Spend a lot of time laying in sunbeams.

As I have said in commenting on this story on other blogs, humans just need to do as I do: blog all night and day, and then sleep the other 20 hours.
