continuing to learn and moving forward
Since I started a couple weeks ago in early December, its been lots of new learning for me and I love it. Little struggles here and there, but the community is incredible. Such awesome help :)
I am liking my niche of decreasing stress and even had a situation that was kind of ironic regarding my niche. Dropped my iphone in water. That's a stressful moment! I am sure many people have experienced this lovely event. I didn't just get it wet ...it was fully submerged. I grabbed it quickly but it wasn't looking too good. However...the good new is - the old rice trick works!. Just put your phone buried in rice (not cooked of course) in a container for 24 hours. its like magic - absorbs the water from your phone. My phone went on an accidental swim yesterday morning...I stuck it in rice and it works perfectly fine today. Amazing!!!
Maybe my next post on my site needs to be dealing with the stress of electronics and how to manage and prevent situation to prevent stress. Its called - always back things up and be more careful ...lol

I like your story about the rice. It would make a nice blog for your site. I think we would all be stressed if we lost our phones or thought that we damaged them by dropping them in water. I'm sure you used the internet to look for a solution. Thank goodness someone took the time to write an article on how to solve that problem.
The advice was through a friend but I think it is massively posted through the internet also :) Yes, the stress is that most of us rely on our phones for a lot. I know I had everything I do in my calendar, many important things in notepad and lots. Its so nice to have it all at your finger tips, but its also having all your eggs in one basket if you don't also have a second copy of it stored somewhere else. :)
nice blog.... have actually recommended the rice remedy it does work ....what a stress relief in itself
You can always blog about that with the drying in mind -- 394 people a month search for "dropped my iPhone in water", 1050 people a month search for "dry out iPhone", 252 search for "dry out your iPhone", 80 search for "dry out with rice" -- admittedly looking to repair is not your niche but you never know they might still appreciate the stress advise, and you can tell them the rice method! Definitely gives you something to write about that is stress related!
Yes...I bet that is a high number of people searching for that specific question. Yes.. I will have to see about writing that up with keeping the focus on my niche of how to alleviate stress when such events happen :)
yes ... I am hoping I do not have to use that trick again. No more accidental swimming for my iphone - I hope :)
Haha Karen - I once got handed a phone by a colleague who said they'd dropped it in water - I had a quick check as you do, and recommended the rice fix. It was only afterwards they let me know they'd actually dropped it down the toilet!!!!
Anti-bacterial hand-wash is now close by :)
All the best, Mark

Thanks for sharing..... that is a lesson learned to ask what body of water they dropped it in..lol
- luckily mine was in the bath tub. I guess it could have been worse.

So glad that the rice trick rescued your phone! I know it worked with my Fitbit after a run-through in the washer. I think the stress of dealing with electronics is a great post idea. So many people will be able to relate.
Thank you for your comment :) wow - through the washer ...that's impressive that it still worked. nice. :)
