By befriending other bloggers they will notice you and not only link to you but sometimes it's a great method to start a long lasting friendship.

Unfortunately I can't remember the name but it collected information on which websites I was browsing and which software I was using. Then it summarized it and showed you how many percent of work you've done each specific day depending on how you tagged your websites. Maybe I should try to find it again.

It's so difficult to not become distracted when trying to accomplish things online. It's hard to get things done because a lot of people don't put their goal and steps to achieve it - in writing (I am guilty of this too). My major issue when working online (in an attempt to get what I need to get done) is distractions. If you are the type of person to get distracted and involved in a lot of things when you are supposed to be working online - then it needs to stop if you want to be more productive and work faster and smarter. I have started using TOGGL - it's a software that I use to time what I am doing throughout the day. If I start answering customer service emails, I go to toggl.com and click the start timer on that task or project and do my work - then click the button when I am done. I do not get distracted when using it - because I'm being timed and on a specific task. It may help others if you get distracted easily. :) Great article Stefan!

Action Outline seems to be a great software to keep track of your notes. I will try it and publish a review later on. Thanks Anna.

I started using a program called Action Outline which makes it even easier. You can have your notes in a "Tree" like in Windows explorer. So, for large projects, each project is a big node and each smaller one can go as a sub-node with each of its targets as sub-nodes - and you just click to expand or contract. WAY better than my old system of thousands of notebpad files with task lists for every project. Very good advice – it helps me a lot to keep these lists.

I have a few goals and I have come to the conclusion that sometimes you need to do one thing at a time. Like you said about shutting off all your distractions, I do the same. BTW, I will add this to next weeks Monday roundup, think many can learn from it. I really liked this post a lot.

The term "take action" always make me think about Nike and their slogan "Just do it". Simple but yet so full of information. You do have a valid point.
