Problogger launched a recent note on their blog combined with feedback from Twitter Users, that truly was worth repeating in every sense of the word.

It instantly made me realize what I was missing and challenged with… and what causes my day to go poorly. Yes, I’m a stats junkie and these numbers and challenges are reflected by that… So without hopefully too much frustration from Problogger, here’s the piece of his post that I’m going to re-print with the idea of “For internet marketers” instead of just “for bloggers..”

  • Turn off Twitter – 6 minutes an hour
  • Turn off Facebook – 3 minutes an hour
  • Stop checking your Traffic Stats – 2 minutes an hour
  • Stop checking your AdSense Earnings – 2 minutes an hour
  • Stop Tweaking your blog design – 3 minutes an hour
  • Stop checking your Google Page Rank – 1 minute an hour
  • Turn off Email – 5 minutes an hour
  • Log out of your RSS Feed Reader – 2 minutes an hour
  • Stop checking to see if someone Dugg your latest post – 1 minute an hour
  • Stop checking affiliate earnings/e-book sales earnings – 2 minutes an hour
  • Turn off any other Social Media Sites (LinkedIn/StumbleUpon/Plurk/Reddit etc) – 3 minutes an hour
  • Turn of Skype, Gtalk and all other IM services – 4 minutes
  • Stop Reading Blog Tips and Start Blogging – 3 minutes an hour

His concept was how to gain 37 minutes an hour… but if anyone’s like me this is like 4 hours back from the average day… Well maybe 2 hours but still, very true and very useful!
