The last few weeks with Alex and the rest of you guys have been the most productive I've been in quite sometime. I got my blog up I even got a few sign ups , obviously I got a lot of work to do but it feels good to see my work paying off at least a little. Great post Dave Alexis Hi Dave

It's difficult to concentrat on one task with all the information we are getting from every where. But I think focus is a matter of training. If we push our self to prioritize the tasks and work on them one by one we can progress. As well outsourcing is a good idea to reelly concetrat on the mos important things to improve the business. Thanks for giving us valuable information in your blog Hi Dave,

Lately I've been doing my projects... lots of projects and I think with those tons of information in my head I think I am going to explode... and yes you are right again, to set yourself a task and try getting it done early on in the day.

Excellent reply! Dave. Hey Elaine,

At present I have 809 email unread in my mailbox. I have subscribed to so many lists and freebies over the last few years that not only have I got information overload but so has my inbox!!! I think this is a major problem, especially with newbies, we tend to want to know more and more and forget to what we should be doing. I have now been looking at a few blogs I have subscribed to which I do every few days which has taken me about 45mins already, so yeah we do get distracted - um let me think what could I have been doing in the last 45 mins - probably writing another article and submitting it. But hey never mind if we didn't have information in the first place we wouldn't be where we are now - but yes too much can be toooooooooooo much. Keep up the good work Dave Elaine http://resalerightsexplained.co.uk Oh Dave this is so so true.

I know from my own experience that I have signed up with so many lists over the years, partly because I wanted the info. but also partly to learn by watching how they ran their business, that I can get very easily distracted by the sheer number of mails in my inbox each day. My solution is to only check my email at the beginning and end of the day and in between to try and focus on just one project at a time. Great post - and a great reminder to stay focussed!

I'm doing research on marketing methods and in the process subscribed to ton's of mailing lists. It looks that all (or almost all ) marketers there always jump on any new affiliate offer, so I receive usually al least a dosen offers, promoting the same book, course, video, etc. And I have to say - most of them just put together bits of information that you can fing on the Internet for free. The last offer i got was for $1997 course (8 emails), I bet it isn't worth 1/20th of that. But - it pays commissions, so all affiliate marketers promote it.

I work from home but luckily I have no distractions apart from the usual phone and email etc. Dead right in what you say, you must teat it like a normal day at work and be totally focused with no interruptions.

Although, not to forget your home office... If you work from home and don't have a dedicated office, turn off ALL distractions and set yourself "business hours". So that's no TV or Radio, no kids etc to distract you during YOUR time of work, then reward yourselfd AFTER you have completed your working day. Not only will you not be distracted but your productivity will soar too. Regards Ray Hi Dave

Very good post here,

There are SO many things that can distract you as you mention in the post AND as the commenters here mention too….

Although, not to forget your home office…

If you work from home and don’t have a dedicated office, turn off ALL distractions and set yourself “business hours”.

So that’s no TV or Radio, no kids etc to distract you during YOUR time of work, then reward yourselfd AFTER you have completed your working day.

Not only will you not be distracted but your productivity will soar too.
