Do You Have Scatter-Brain-Itis?
In your quest to get 'up and running' so to speak with youronline ventures do you find yourself getting distracted bythings that have nothing to do with whatever it is your trying to accomplish? I call this "Scatter-Brain-Itis" It's not your fault though. There are so many well written, headlines, sales letters,articles, clickable links, and just plain outrageous stuffhere online that it's nearly impossible to focus on thetask at hand.(Whatever that may be for you.) This may help you out. We've all heard of the simple 'To Do' list.......right? If you're not using one you really should it will keep youlaser-like focused on getting the things done that you knowyou should be doing. Try this method. Write down the top three things you need to get donetomorrow.(or today if you're eager to try this out) Prioritize them listing the most important one at the top,2nd most important next, followed by #3. Now go to work on priority #1. If you find yourself at a website/page that has nothing todo with priority #1 immediately stop and get back to whatyou should be doing. If you're working on priority #1 and find that you havecome across information that would be helpful inaccomplishing proirity #3 either bookmark it, write down areminder about it, or set up a folder called 'importantthings' then go back to it once you have accomplished priority 1 & 2. (Remember, you prioritized them for a reason) I realize this is very basic stuff here but you might beastonished at the amount of work that a person canaccomplish by following this simple system over the periodof a week.
