Working online is hard with all this possible ailments. Information Overload, Shiny Object Syndrome and now Analysis Paralysis. Just as I recover from one I seem to get infected with the next.

I regularly unsubscribe from all kinds of lists I find my self on. I avoid the Warrior forum unless I am looking for something specific and I plan my week first thing every Monday morning. My latest distraction, which I thought I would never do, is checking on the FaceBook groups I recently joined.

Still, working online is better than working for someone else and my focus is getting better. After starting your ONE Month mentor program in November last year I have reached day 26, so my product will be launched next week. Better late than never.

Thanks for the Training

Cheers

I think we’re all susceptible to this kind of behaviour from time to time and where it’s learnt? Who knows? Maybe in our childhood.

That daily plan seems a great way to break the cycle because once you make a decision, you feel so much better and have both direction and momentum.

Procrastination stinks! …and its a cliche I know but it really is the thief of time so KICK it out!

Newbies often suffer from
– information overload,
– Not knowing where to start,
– Following the wrong plan,
– Giving up too soon.

I have added to your KICK, if it is fine with you John

[KICK START MARKETING]

K = Know exactly what task you are going to do first
I = Implement that task immediately
C = Complete the task
K = Keep it simple

S = Start with smaller goals and increment these every year
T = Try things out rather than just ‘assuming results’ without even doing things.
A = Ask marketers questions if you are stuck, you will be surprised how many get back to you
R = Rinse and repeat your projects, so you can build on your initial success
T = Tasks should be fully complete before moving on to the next one
S = Sort out you tasks in a list, and then place them in sequencial order

M = Make efficient use of your time
A = Assets! – Know your assets which are your websites, blogs, links, email list,
R = Rest aswell. Many marketers over work, so make sure you rest and don’t over do it.
K = Knowledge is power, and it is the same for internet marketing. Always learn new things and knowledge
E = Engage with other marketers via facebook, twitter, and other social bookmarking sites
T = Take time to learn new skills every month
I = Internet marketing takes time and effort
N = Network with other marketers, so you can become marketing friends
G = Get off your lazy backside and start commiting to some serious work!

Excellent post.

I have just completed my plans for this coming year. It’s the first plan I’ve made and to implement it I realised that I had to structure a daily/weekly timetable, fitted around my other commitments (day job & family time).

I’ve completed my timetable via a spreadsheet. I’ve also only focused on what courses to follow that are relevant to my overall plan.

Although I haven’t got a great deal of WSO’s stored on my hard drive I will admit that over analysing, fear to move forward and procrastination have been my let downs over the past 6 months that I’ve been online.

This post has highlighted this and I realise I’m not alone with this. The important thing for me now is to move forward and leave those bad practices behind.

Thanks for a great article that I hope people, for their own sake, will take notice of.

Regards,
Dean.

I’m so guilty of numbers 1 and 2, that I don’t even have time for 3, 4 or 5!

Very good post, I like the KICK idea a lot and I’m going to try it. I also need to stop thinking that I can do it all by myself while I still have a day job, and a family. I need to outsource some I guess – but I’m a control freak, as they say. How can I get past that?

Best Regards
