When a person gets a short-term illness, dealing with productivity issues can be difficult.  Here are 6 tips to help you manage productivity:

1.  Use your designated sick time toward just that.  Many times people take advantage of their sick time and use it for recreation (we all know we’ve done it) and then when we really get sick it is very stressful because we may not get paid or have to return sooner because we have no sick time left.  Stress you don’t need.

2.  Keep yourself hydrated and eating well.  Did you know hot, clear fluids are the best for the common cold and flu?  Cranberry juice wards off bladder infections.  Get a lot of calcium for mending bones.

3.  Your work doesn’t stop just because you are sick.  Take advantage of working from home even half days if possible.  It will not only make you feel a sense of achievement but it will prevent coming back to a nightmare.

4.  Dress in something comfortable.  Dress in layers if your illness will cause you to have a mild fever.  If you wear makeup, wear it lightly when you are ill.  Use products that are unscented especially if your illness includes nausea or vomiting.

5.  Have an over-the-counter kit with the basics you need when you get ill.  There’s nothing worse than having to head out to the drug store when you feel lousy.  A few items could include cough syrup, ibuprofen, cold medicine (drowsy and nondrowsy),  Kleenex, and the list goes on.

6.  Consider the health of the other people around you.  Be courteous and if possible stay away from everyone you can so they don’t catch what you have.  Conference calls come in very handy at times like these.

Prevention is the best approach to avoiding short-term illnesses.  Eating a healthy diet, getting a flu vaccine, exercising, and taking vitamins are just a handful of things you can do to stay well.  Feel free to share any other tips you might have.

I read an article today about the transportation options in the Fargo/West Fargo/Moorhead/Dilworth area for anyone over 60 years of age and people with disabilities.

At this time of the year, it is hard for some to get transportation to and from the places they need to go on a regular basis.  It is a very important component of independent living.

One source is FMRIDESOURCE.com and there are many options to choose from.

There is also a contact person to call or email to get more information on a summary of providers, schedule, etc.

Check this out if it is a service you need or someone you know needs.

Make a free QR code for your Fargo-Moorhead business at http://www.directoryoffargomoorhead.com/blog/qr-code-generator

First, select a type of QR code from the select type drop-down box (Text, Email, Tel, URL, vCard, MeCard, SMS, Location, Bookmark, or WIFI).

Next, fill in boxes that open up for you depending on which type of QR code you chose.

Most of the time you can choose the very small or small from the size drop-down box.  The only reason you would need to use large is if you have a big poster to put it on.

Next, put 000000 in the background color box.  This is the code for black which works best.  You can try other colors if you like by clicking on the background color box with your mouse, but the better the contrast between white and the color you choose, the better it will work.

Next, click on Generate QR Code.

See picture generated under preview.  Scroll down and download image.

The image can be used for business cards, advertising, restaurant menus, coupons, link to anything on the Internet, in-store advertising, links to your Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin pages, Realtors can put a QR code on each house they are selling that links to a YouTube video of a walk-through of the house.

The QR codes only work for people with Smartphones.

We can also do the same for you with mobile marketing for the people that don’t have Smartphones but can receive text messages.

The uses are endless.  Compliments of  http://fargowebsitedesignandseo.com
