Hi all,

After the October stress I decided at the start of December to not log in to my AdSense account for a period of 30 days. My findings:

- Earnings: Better than I would have expected for my niche in December but I don't believe it was directly related to not logging in.

- Time saved: Lots! After a few days into the experiment gone was the compulsion to check the account numerous times a day.

- Stress levels: The biggest reason this experiment was a success had to be the lack of worrying what was going on in my account from day to day. At the end of the 30 days I began to feel very silly about any emotional investment I had previously made into the account. Some days are way up, some days are way down and others are average. Looking at your account on an hourly/daily basis can STRESS you out.

So will I continue the experiment? Yes indeedy. I'm already into my second 30 day period.

If you want to try this experiment I would strongly suggest that you check out WebmasterWorld for any important AdSense developments that require you to log into your account.

Good luck!
