"You're right—scarily right for someone who hasn't been slodging along on the Internet for years and years (or maybe you have been, and I've just been hanging out in the wrong places.)You are also really good at bringing the threads of this stuff together so I can see the pattern. I dream of having such synthesizing powers! At the same time, seeing how you've laid this out makes me feel like I might have the stuff to make a good run at this, after all.What a great early Christmas gift. Thank you, my new-in-'09 Internet friend." - colleen wainwright

You can buy attention (advertising) You can beg for attention from the media (PR) You can bug people one at a time to get attention (sales) Or you can earn attention by creating something interesting and valuable and then publishing it online for free: a YouTube video, a blog, a research report, photos, a Twitter stream, an ebook, a Facebook page. (Dig it!) - colleen wainwright

I wish I could remember who pointed me here. No matter. David Allen has talked about this, as have a number of others: if you're going to procrastinate (and if you're like a lot of us, you are, and you KNOW who you are), do it with something meaningful to you, not videos of kittens playing piano. That's it! The END. Back to work. - colleen wainwright

"Haha. I LOVE that clip. Love this whole list. Especially #3. My cheapness roars its cheap-cheapity-cheap head whenever I go to buy a double (or triple) when really, how much time do I waste fretting? Time I could be spending wrapping my head around #5. You're quite good at these lists, dearie." - colleen wainwright
