We tend sometime to spend more time on stuff that won't help make money online... It is important to choose and divide tasks. I agree with your last paragraph.

This is a topic I get asked about a lot. Distraction, distraction, distraction. You are totally right a daily plan that you actually stick to is mandatory. We have all fallen into this trap and until people break out and focus on the activities that actually make money they will never succeed. Great post Fabian, one of the most important lessons to learn. Hi Fabian, this is so true. This is a topic I get asked about a lot. Distraction, distraction, distraction.

It totally pertains to me. My additional problem is that I know - at this early stage of inexperience - that when I try to do something to try to put together my first real website, it's going to be VERY freustrating and I'm going to mess it up so badly that I won't be able to fix it myself . . . And it will sit like that, maybe forever, because I don't have anybody to ask questions of. So I AVOID trying the things that seem important, hoping I will learn enough somewhere, somehow so I can be more certain when I try it for the first time. I also think I subconsciously AVOID doing anything that might be that frustrating and discouraging, especially when there are harmless, no-disaster, emails to read. But, like you've said, that's why I've made no money in 3 years of trying to learn as much as I can - that's why my desk-top is covered SOLID with ebooks I've downloaded. Maybe my new motivating theme (after Susan Jeffer's "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway") should be: "Feel the Frustration, and Do It Anyway" and just throw away wrecked projects until I start to get it right! Thank you for all of your terrific advice! roknrobn I love your use of the 80/20 rule here! It totally pertains to me.

Good advice on holding off on those emails. Once you start reading them it can be an all day job just trying to sort through 'em. Man- It seems like so many days are just like you said.
