Just posted a message on Twitter. "Must focus! Unsubscribing from lists so I can focus on business building activities. Suffering from Paralysis by Analysis". How do you all find time to post? - I can't even keep up reading them or Ed's 30DC+ updates! Congrats to all you troupers. :-)
Lists? Like mailing lists? That's the problem. Lists are a pain to keep up with
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Well you have made a good first step by unsubscribing to lists that are of no value to you. You can't follow and be everywhere. Focus on the things that move you forward and organize and develop a daily process that helps you manage it all. It takes some time but you can keep up with more than you think if you have a process.Google Reader is a great tool to use and keep up. Its even better using the Firefox/Flock addon Feedly. I did a video on it here http://bit.ly/TXsGg. Its Free and totally rocks Greader.

Thanks all - especially Ron. I checked out your video and what a great tool that is. I will definitely down load it. I am always astounded at how much I have to learn. But in a way that is what keeps me from business building. As I see it, its about time management, prioritising and putting away chunks of time for each task like in the posting "Internet marketer - daily routine".

I love this Janelle, I suffer from the same OMG syndrome and like you have unsubscribed from nearly all lists and hanging on to our Ed and 30DC+

Anyone signing up for Wordpressdirect? I cannot find on the site what the monthly cost is after the trial period. I hesitate to get sucked into something that ends up costing more than I can afford.
I think for me at this point with no real success, $444/year seems a lot for what it is.

It's only $1 for the 30 days. This gives me more than three shots at getting a sale. Of course, now I have to make $2 to come out $1 a head :)
- James Norwag
I had concerns about paying the $1 ... does that start a subscription that would have to be dealt with after the first month for a dollar deal?

I am having tech problems with getting WPD installed on my website. I have a good professional host and have been with them since 2002 so if WPD cannot be installed then it is flawed. Let's see how WPD tech support handle this. Looks like a good system but I won't be upgrading until after the 30DC. Jeff - Yes, it does start a subscription. One final thought - If you find a good niche I really do not think you should use one of the WPD subdomains - keep it for yourself on your own website.

Hey - I'd like to run a test... There are 23 people signed up here and MOST of us are sharing Twitter into our FriendFeeds (brendan, Denise, Russell, and Winnie - you should do that!) So each of you Tweet (DON'T use #-30 day ... you know. That will spoil the experiment) I wonder if they'll show?
I tweeted -- and it's not showing. Pooh!
- LJF Wolffe
LJF Wolffe - I just got your tweet on the Friends tab by opening the 30DC Cross Training Room, finding your name in the member list, and subscribing to your feeds. I assume that we have to do that for everyone if we want their tweets to show up in friendfeed.
- Nelson Fenner
That makes them show up for you (and I hope I'm interesting!) -- but will we all have to do that to see tweets in the room? (And will that make the list in Twhirl impossible to follow? 8-) )

Hey, phenzbiz, I know you're swimming into the challenge - but how are you doing with the meditation? Are you making time? Which works best - morning or night? I find if I make time in the morning, I get my daily disciplines done. Trying to squeze them in at the end is tough...
Uh, like I did on days 2 and 4! I should let that me a lesson to me :)
- MyklK (Michael K)
the meditation keeps getting put on hold - so I feel some stress building up
- Nelson Fenner
Well try turning it around, put the world on hold and get to that meditation - could anything be more pressing? Your actions are saying everything is more pressing. Fortunately, you get to decide what's going to give you greater value. ;)

I added my name to the spreadsheet. Not sure if I saved it correctly.
- Nelson Fenner
Yes! Nelson! It worked.(assuming you're phenzbiz!) So if you want to be held accountable for progressing in your 30DC AND Cross Training, sign in and we'll check with each other every 3 days. You have to move from thinking about it to action in order to succeed. So "de-lurk" and stand up to be counted. I've already started a bit in fits and starts in preparation... :D
