It’s been a while since I’ve written an update. Mostly because the couple months were busy with both back to school and getting the hang of it, and then Ramadan. And ofcourse, partly due to procrastination and task overload - because I’m sure I could have meant to write for 5 minutes - after all, I did have it in my planner - up to the topic even. Anyway, I have a lot of stuff I learned during my Internet Marketing Journey that I want to share, so I hope to be writing more frequently.
We always hear about information overload, and how it leads us into this paralysis of not being able to digest anything and results in the worst possible thing of all - IN-ACTION. Taking action and flopping is much better than not taking action at all. This is one thing that I have to start getting myself / pushing myself to do. Just do it.
I definitely suffer from information overload - I don’t have enough hours in the day to digest and take action on everything that I want to. That’s why I’ve just started to focus on organization and planning. Following thru. Taking things one step at a time. These are such basic concepts and these are the ones that bear the fruits of success. I think if we can get some good habits down, some good successful habits, then success will follow. Being organized automatically leads to a desire to be more efficient and when you start accomplishing things, you start seeing success.
But I think I suffer from something else too - let’s call it ‘task’ overload. I have so many things to do that sometimes I get overwhelmed and just don’t feel like doing any of them. The thought of the enormity of the thoughts (which is most often exaggerated in my own heads) makes me want to procrastinate and doing something irrelevant. This of course leaves me in a worse situation than I started off with. I think the lessons are the same — just do it. Think of the tasks as smaller steps and just do them. I have some tasks on my list that would literally take 5 minutes if I just did them, but for some reason they are there, being passed from day to day — not getting done. Why? There is no need. Make that to do list and ATTACK. That is my plan of action.
