Time Flies…

Time flies when you're having fun!  But, here is my challenge:

Symptoms:

My eyes are blurring, my head's nodding and it's a wonder that my laptop is still on my lap!

It's 1am and these are the too-familiar symptoms that are becoming a pattern for me.  I am finding that I have "windows" of opportunity when I can work efficiently and not just stare, glossed over, at the computer screen.  Once it's 1am, time seems to accelerate and before I know, it's 2:15am, then 3am…my, how time files!  (I must be having fun!)

Diagnosis:

Working with too broad of a "today's task".

Tonight, I got side-tracked while trying to learn "all I can" from Allan Gardyne's web site.  I am finding his site to be full of useful info – too full, if that's possible, and the tips are very general – not something I can sit down and improve my site with… so far.  I am getting lost in long articles for "beginners – getting started" and am realizing that many of the articles are written by different authors.  Rosalind Gardner sites this as a good way to build content if you're short on ideas in her "Super Affiliates Handbook."  I am not sure that I am a fan of this method – it makes me feel like I'm in an important place with so many articles and so much to read, but I'm not finding the gems that I am expecting to find, and it's taking so long.

Cure:

Don't give up and set specific, attainable goals.

I am not going to give up on Allan's web site, yet.  However, my next "today's task" will be more specific – like a search for ways to organize web site pages, or how to build an effective "home" page.
