If ever there was a day to celebrate for computer and software people – could this be it? We’ve all experienced the frustrations of technology when our computers crash, software won’t load, or our phones won’t charge. But there are ways to reduce your frustration – whether induced by technology or life in general.

Dragos Roua has 33 tips to reduce frustration on his blog and you’ll find 10 more in WebMD’s article on Relaxation Techniques to Reduce Stress.

But without the insights gained through reporting and analytics software, we simply couldn’t do our jobs as effectively.
