"The #1 productivity enemy of online marketers is: Being online.

Ever stumble on a distraction.... which led you to another distraction.... which led to yet another? Pretty soon you committed the sins of a thousand distractions.

If ever a world was custom designed to carry you off course willy nilly, get you gleefully lost and living in a happy timeless stupor, it's the Internet. Enemy #1. If 2011 fell short of your expectations, distractionit is was probably the top culprit.

Most of us make our livings by distracting people. So, ahem, it's not like we get to condemn anyone for getting distracted :^>

Still, if you want to earn mucho dinero as a marketer, you MUST master this. You gotta be able to distract without getting distracted yourself. The IM version of "buy low, sell high." Perry Marshall

I doubt anybody around here is trying to crack the six figure income bracket but if you are and you need help you may want to look into Perry Marshall's 80/20 Productivity Express (this is not an affiliate link so don't harrass me about it). I endorse Perry bcz he's awesome!

I can't seem to stay out of these silly forums so I clearly need his course.

LOL...
I was just talking about this with my daughter the other day. I start up my lap top to write an article...and hours later, I'm still trolling the Internet...in forums (giggles) or looking up something I read about like the website you just mentioned....

One of my goals two months ago was to not see my name in the top posters list here in the forums and to not create sets on Polyvore every single day. When I was able to accomplish those 2 goals my productivity soared again but too much online time is a hard habit to break. So much cool stuff to look at, read, and share.
