Best selling Author, Dr. Hallowell salutes small business owners during National Small Business Week

May 20, 2012 - PRLog -- New York Times best selling Author, psychiatrist, and ADHD expert, Dr. Edward Hallowell salutes small business owners during National Small Business week – yet reminds owners to observe high stress levels.

BOSTON, May 20, 2012 – A new survey was reported this week in  smallbiztechnology.com that shows small business owners are overly stressed.  According to the site, “the survey of 1,000 small business owners found three-fourths of the respondents report physical symptoms of work-related stress.”  Symptoms include headaches, back pain and anxious thoughts.  

“We see these health impacts from stress all the time,” states Dr. Edward Hallowell.  “Today’s 24/7 world, especially for small business owners, creates a culturally induced ADD experience from our on-call way of life.  Distractions, compulsions and low productivity can harm the small business person.” Dr. Hallowell’s new CrazyBusy iPhone app provides tools that may help small business owners avoid this unhealthy lifestyle and help increase productivity.

The CrazyBusy app has been utilized by business owners to prioritize their time to evaluate and focus on what matters most. The CrazyBusy app analyzes and then summarizes responses from business owners evaluating the Return On Time Invested and Worth-It scores. Specific and customized suggestions are then offered based on the analysis. The basic app is free and the Pro version is available for $1.99 from iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crazybusy/id522520902). The Pro upgrade contains valuable resources, more in-depth content, personalized feedback, plus focus and productivity tools, and a timer/stopwatch to help keep the mind focused for a specified amount of time.

Content was written by Dr. Edward M. Hallowell based on his best selling book “CrazyBusy – Overstretched, Overbooked and About to Snap” and developed by Roble Ridge Software of Palo Alto, CA.  Additional information may be found at http://www.crazybusywithdrhallowell.com/crazybusystore.htm.
