A support group! That's it. I know Jeff Sass has "Invitations". Maybe that's what I need? Some Social Media rehab!

We should start a support group or something!

A post that had me both nodding and chuckling all the way through; we all do it. You have to remember, though, it’s not DADD – it’s multi-tasking

Good luck with it, Tim. And if you figure out how to fix the focus issue please tell me!

As of July my income will be entirely blog & web based (more on that in a future post) and I need to filter out some of the noise.

Your experience is much like mine — we’re hardly alone — and in my opinion it’s a BIG problem. For those of us who do our work at a computer, the kind of hopping around you’re talking about is poison for getting much done.

Put it another way: it’s VERY easy for me to spend hours in the mode you describe, “working” in the sense of “keeping up with what’s going on” (I’m a blogger, right?), when in fact I’m getting no WORK accomplished.

My goal: more focus, less response to my urge to consume info-bonbons.
