Have you every tried to herd cats?

I don't know if you have ever heard the expression that doing something is like trying to herd cats. It means that it's basically impossible.

This is the way I feel every time I read an article about SEO. It usually takes me to another article then to another one until I've lost the original one. Then I search until I find the one I started with and before I know it I'm back trying to herd those darned cats again.

I get a lot of advice on how to quit this and become disciplaned, Most of the suggestions make sense but trying to implement them when I've had 84 years of not being able to make myself change is near impossible. Again it's like trying to herd those darned cats.

Maybe it will happen in my next life, but in the meantime I will try and change a little at a time and maybe by the time I hit 100 I'll be headed in the right direction.

I imagine this article will change the way you look at cats, but if it helps you to quit or not start herding them then my message is a success.
