ZENandTECH

Nokia dumped Symbia, HP dumped webOS hardware, Google bought Motorola, Steve Jobs resigned from Apple -- it's a stressful time in technology and now more than ever you need to take care of yourself. Georgia and Rene discuss how. This is ZENandTECH!

Georgia and Rene go over all the episodes, tips, and tools to date, from breathing to the foundations of sleep, exercise, and food, to dealing withd eath, physical and mental de-cluttering, perfectionism, avoidance, mindfulness, and boundaries -- including your feedback, examples, and progress. This is ZENandTECH!

Georgia and Rene talk about the importance of boundaries. From doormat to control freak, just like good fences make good neighbors good boundaries make good self-images and good relationships. This is ZENandTECH!

Georgia and Rene discuss mindfulness and the importance of being in the moment. Enjoying a cup of coffee and listening to a friend. Watching a movie without BBM or dinner without Twitter. If both Yoda and Miagi agree, it has to be ZENandTECH!

Georgia and Rene talk viewer tips on perfectionism when it comes to email and task management, including "getting one thing done", and then tackle avoidance -- why we do it, what we get out of it, and what it costs us. This is ZENandTECH!

The plague of perfectionism -- when what you do is never good enough for yourself or for someone around you. Georgia and Rene discuss what it is, why it can negatively people, and tools to help you identify and deal with perfectionistic tendencies. This is ZENandTECH!

Like the spinning hourglass or beachball on a computer, our heads can get stuck stuck thinking the same negative thoughts over and over again. This week on ZENandTECH, Georgia and Rene discuss ways to figure out why you're perseverating and how you can deal with it.

Do you own your stuff or does your stuff own you? This week on ZENandTECH, Georgia and Rene talk about the joys of de-cluttering your life, and how getting rid of the physical clutter can help you get rid of the mental clutter as well.

Georgia and Return talk about nutrition. And phasers. Okay, mostly nutrition. Why it's important, how you can get the fuel you need even while living a fast-paced, tech-filled life, and some tips, tricks, and picks on how to eat and feel better.

We were scheduled to talk about exercise on ZENandTECH this week, but after suffering a death in the family, Georgia discusses the stresses and strains, and offers some tools and tips for dealing with them, including... video games. Then it's back on topic and we somehow end up on whether or not sex counts as exercise. (Listen to find out!)

Returning to your regularly scheduled ZENandTECH, Georgia and Rene discuss the benefits of exercise and how it alleviates depression, burns away stress, helps you sleep, improves your concentration, and otherwise works wonders. Plus, some app picks to help you keep track of your progress and build good habits.

Georgia and Rene kickoff ZENandTECH second episode by talking... sleep -- what it is, why it's important, and what it does to your body and your stress levels if you don't get enough of it. We've got some app and gadget suggestions to help you sleep better, and some exercises to bring it all together.

ZENandTECH centers you inner geek, helps you deal with the demands of a connected life, and nurtures your superhero in training. In the debut episode, George and Rene introduce the new show, try to define stress, recommend some apps (and non-apps!), and go over basic breathing exercises. Follow along!
