I don’t think checking statcounter frequently is a bad thing. It can help drive traffic by optimizing towards hot terms, etc. For example I saw how many people were googling David Beckham’s first goal and since I had the video on my personal site I got a ton of traffic by optimizing further towards that term. So statcounter for fun = bad, to drive decisions = good!

Hey everyone, I’m glad this was helpful! It’s been a few days since I wrote this post and I’ve been doing a fairly good job of following my new rules. It’s not easy to break old habits but I’m glad I making some changes.

Hi, Great food for greater thought.
I have three main categories competing for my daily tasks. 1-Work, 2-Personal to do list and 3-new fun things.
I make a routine out of doing one thing in each category, then start over again. For work, I may complete a memo, then a personal item (car insurance research, for example), then it’s reading a Blog, which is just for fun. Then it’s time to complete another work task. I make the work tasks take up at least 45 minutes of each hour.
This works for me.

Thanks for the article. I can definitely relate to your experience. It’s funny that I got to your blog by clicking through link after link after link. I’m looking up at my Firefox browser right now, and I have 12 windows open. Guilty as charged! Now… where was I originally before I stumbled upon your blog?

Ben, thanks for touching this topic – now, I have some renewed interest in making myself more productive. I need to work on planning for future posts and really need to get rid of the “one last thing” habit.Darren’s system sounds pretty good for a start.

Great article. I am in the exact same position. I use a laptop computer, and most of the time sit on my couch while working on my personal finance blog, and want to get that one last thing done, but often end up sitting and staring because I am too tired to complete a thought. Hang in their man! Hey do you have for me to add your feed to my yahoo rss reader? Jeffry
