For me I started tracking things that were wasting time and not too surprisingly most things that began with “Check…” were not helping. Check Facebook, check twitter, check email, check Mashable, check Digg…its amazing how just a small “check” on something can send you down a rabbit hole for 40 minutes.

I used to be pretty obsessive when it came to the web and last year I made a real effort to dramatically scale back on web-goofing-off. Even this year I have scaled back even more. Last year I had my best year ever for my business and this year I expect the same, mainly due to eliminating a huge amount of distractions. As such my online presence has taken a hit, I am definitely not on the networks as much as I’d like, but if its between that and business growth, well I will take the growth.
