On the one hand, it's fun to read all the information sites, ebooks, courses and forums on the internet marketing learning curve. <BR/><BR/>But on the other hand, then it becomes the means to the end and we just keep on reading. Not doing. Not being actionable. Just being passive learners. <BR/><BR/>I need to follow some of your tips - especially reviewing my priorities list. Everything not serving my priorities is really just fluff, isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-28874850588676485922008-03-04T03:52:00.000-08:002008-03-04T03:52:00.000-08:00There is a book "7 Habits of Highly Effective Peop...There is a book "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" (search in google). It talks about dividing our time/tasks in 4 quadrants (no.. it is not the crappy Robert kiyosaki quadrants)<BR/><BR/>In a nutshell:-<BR/><BR/>I. Urgent and Important<BR/>Work that is truly needed to be done NOW!<BR/><BR/>II. Not urgent but Important<BR/>Important work that can be done later that day.<BR/><BR/>III. Urgent but Not Important<BR/><BR/>IV. Not urgent and Not important<BR/><BR/>Stick to number I and II. I once so stuck with useless tasks. One day, my father fell ill, I had to look after him for 3 weeks and forget about everything else. During this time, I read the book.<BR/><BR/>Now I know that I have been spending too much time on III and IV.<BR/><BR/>After overhauling myself, I believe now most of my time now is in I and II category.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-79624068188052702792008-02-16T00:48:00.000-08:002008-02-16T00:48:00.000-08:00@linda: yes the occasional internet fast really do...@linda: yes the occasional internet fast really does help! except dh thinks it should be a COMPUTER fast and i'm not sure i could do that. maybe someday....<BR/><BR/>@suzie: i've recently discovered bloglines, a free web-based tool for organizing and keeping track of your blog subscriptions. you might not have to unsubscribe after all!Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726358409767416731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-22191256042750650972008-02-12T05:27:00.000-08:002008-02-12T05:27:00.000-08:00I relate so closely to what you are writing, tomor...I relate so closely to what you are writing, tomorrow I further usubcribe<BR/>Thanks for sharingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-4491858180904568632008-02-10T13:59:00.000-08:002008-02-10T13:59:00.000-08:00When I find myself just flicking from screen to sc...When I find myself just flicking from screen to screen, I either go for a walk or for a motorcycle ride. It helps me focus and gets me away from the screen. I also take entire days off the web. That usually leaves me about exploding with posts and energy. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-71178379964239341382008-02-06T22:42:00.000-08:002008-02-06T22:42:00.000-08:00hi mike, thanks for your comment. please share any...hi mike, thanks for your comment. please share any other tips you have for newbies like me. cheers!Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726358409767416731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645833037243333394.post-349871109616384902008-02-05T18:38:00.000-08:002008-02-05T18:38:00.000-08:00The things you did are excellent practices to cutt...The things you did are excellent practices to cutting down info overload. I've put many of them to use, especially cutting out all but a few blogs and drastically reducing time on sites that do little besides waste time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
