This is a guest post by Aqeel Syed, blogger and Dahn Yoga enthusiast.

The idea of constantly sitting in front of computer has never appealed me. But it is a source of livelihood and because of that one reason I have agreed to put up with conditions that aren’t necessarily healthy for me. I believe that I’m not the only one to go through this on daily basis.

Have you ever felt that your work no longer appeals you? Or you found that what you dislike about your job seems to overshadow what you enjoy? You may be experiencing burnout and these are some of the common symptoms. What we must understand is that a job that entails sitting at a computer for hours may require increased effort to keep both our mind and body healthy.

Previously, Kikolani featured a post on living a healthy lifestyle. It was a great article in which a guest blogger discussed natural ways to improve health. I have also few tips to share that have helped me keep a decent body and mind regimen. Using these simple steps I’ve even noticed some improvement in my energy levels and I no longer feel as tired as I used to.

Lately, I have been reading more and more advice about how bloggers and article writers should be writing shorter, more concise text in order to make it more attractive to readers. I’m sure that a lot of this will eventually boil down to why you write and read articles, but first, let’s start with some basics about article length.

Pros and Cons of Length Variety

From informational value to bookmarking to readability to comments, here are some of the pros and cons of posts at different lengths.

Pros of Short Posts

• Short posts are easier to read, so visitors have more time to continue to additional posts on a site.
• Short posts are faster to write, giving the author the opportunity to write more posts for their own site or others.
• Short posts usually leave a little to the imagination, which can lead to comments with questions for the author.

Cons of Short Posts

• Short posts usually lack a lot of information, making them not live up to their headline.
• Short posts are usually very simplistic in terms of giving concepts and ideas, but not necessarily applicable detailed information.
• Short posts are so easy to write, so they can be outsourced to less than qualified writers (or put through bad spinning software) leading to lower quality articles.
