Too Much??!

Yup.

You sit at the computer reading about this and that, and before you know it the clock shows 3am. It happens to be a work night, and the drive over the pass is 45 minutes or more with road construction.

Another victim of “know too much”.

So, what is it that I learned this particular night? Just to see how much stuff is taking my time these evenings.

• Gauntlet arcade machines, the original Atari 4 player ones, are only fetching $450-$600 on ebay. Nothing is listed nearby on craigslist. I have a machine which I need to sell.
• There are a zillion new product launches and relaunches in the internet marketing area. Browse through some of them, stuff other emails in a separate folder. Now I know that products will keep coming, even after I get the latest and greatest. This is actually something I can use in the near future… more later
• There are some good, and not so good keywords/niches out there. Finding the right combination that both appeals to me, and has sideline potential might be tricky.
• There are updates to some of the programs I use, and I’ve made them.
• There are some cool sites that have some good looking poducts for career development. I found them while searching keywords relating to the mind. Things like Time Management, Descision Making, etc.. Think I could use this? If I stopped surfing,.. Well, sounds like a catch-22 to me.
• Watched some videos from a recent purchase. Some interesting information. Some new, some old. It actually motivated me to take more action.
• More death and destruction in the world.. Every day brings the headlines. I don’t read the full thing, since I’m looking for something more positive.
• The cat peed in my office soemtime in the last week. Took time tossing stuff..
• The local real estate market has cooled drastically, and there are mor homes for sale, but they aren’t much cheaper (yet).. This is a double edged sword since my condo’s not worth as much either.
• Installing a blog with tools is pretty darn easy, though you must watch out for timing out in those tools, or you much start over.
• My www.mindulgence.com domain is probably going to be something different than I first imagined. The definition of Indulgence is more geared to luxury, pleasure, excess, and extravagance. Thinking about what might fit is going to be fun!
• I need to figure out which of my other unused domains will house the more self-development subjects.
• Browsed the local Real Estate listings to see what’s out there.  I already know what’s out there, I just looked a day or two ago, and the realtor would let me know of anything new.
• Helped prepare for painting the living room again.  The current (recently painted) wall color is too dark, and probably not a good choice for making a sale (if needed).
• Played with Mr Milo the cat.
• …you get the idea…

It was actually a relatively productive evening for me, since I did more than just surf and study. Lot’s of fluff, but not so much that I don’t feel like anything happened to move me along.

I’ll add to this list, just to help me point out some of the time-sucking activities that have kept me stuck. Even this blog post is one of those, but one which I feel has a great deal of potential benefit.

Who the heck are you to be reading this anyway?

I guess I should answer that for you first. Soon, an introduction will be made!
