I am a Procrastinator and a Skimmer- OMG, who knew?!
Well after a little while here at WA I realized I have two issues. I am a complete procrastinator and I skim the material!
I would skim the material thinking I could get to my goal faster. Yeah, doesn't work like that. I have had to slow it down a lot and that is hard for someone like me. Always in a hurry....
I would then read where someone had 279 clicks in a day and I would look at my stats and see 6 clicks. Talk about a downer, then I would not do anything and take a few days off. That wasn't really helping either.
I think that if I can just slow it down I will be better off. I can keep building a great website and figure out how to drive traffic there, I will be successful. I think patience is going to have to be key for me!!

Yes, I skim too. Or my mind wanders off during the videos. Talk about a short attention span... I have to keep repeating bits because I'll suddenly realize I don't know what Kyle is talking about...doh!
I think this is a really common problem and most budding Internet Marketers get into this situation. Its outcome is usually "shiny object syndrome", where the next "get-rich-quick" product comes along and hooks you back in again. You definitely need to follow the program before you get on the shiny object bandwagon - beware!! :-) (spoken by one who is sooooo much like you too)
lol does not work like that unless you know much on the subject, just go with the lessons and tasks, you will get there much faster doing it the right way, I was guilty of that before I came to WA have learned more patience, best of luck
I realized the same thing... so I had to pull back and reassess my strategy and goals. Lesson learned. Thanks for this post.
the best way that I have found out of getting around what you talked about is not multi tasking. I focus on one thing at a time, multi tasking according to most neuroscientists is very detrimental on the brain.
I actually do the same thing. I also took about 6 months off because it discouraged because of it. I now set in mind exactly what I should get done and do that before even looking at stats or taking a break. Anything else is extra. I try to keep focused. My current living situation helps though as it is not the best place to be and this will help me out.
Wow! I do exactly the same thing! I am trying to get over my impatience. And there is some progress with that. Yes, slow down is the key
Hi All you need to do is build the content daily, I have just recently started add daily content to two of my websites and slow but surely they are creeping up the ranking. In the mean time why don't you promote the website on social media site and get hits that way.
I've took this approach and it seems to work as long as you put the time in. Best Wishes Alan

I think we are all guilty of Procrastinating and skimming every now and then. The trick is to just keep going, and review if we need to.
