Managing your time. Just a quick tip that I use daily.

First thing in the morning

1) open notepad

2) adjust the font to something huge

3) make a list of tasks for im to achieve for the day

4) give each task a reasonable time constraint ( such as 20 minutes of backlinking for site A )

5) erase a task when completed

Great method because with IM, it is much much more productive if you have a daily gameplan.

Plus, do not allow yourself to get distracted by surfing and looking for interesting methods to try out, stick to your list. Once you have finished your list for the day, surfing around is OK, it is your reward:)
