Hello my lot buddies, The internet is a veru enticing place ..whenever I login with a certain objective, it is never achieved. One after the other ,there are secondary pop windows which carry my attention and thus I keep on visiting many web sites without any avail as such..can any one suggest how to keep a strict discipline with one self ? so that we are able to optimise with the available time.this can specially help the persons like me who have decided to earn a certain amount from the online working every month.have a nice day..bye

I think that there are several things you must do so that you do not get distracted. Like they advise back in school, do not put a desk near the window. If you are prone to look out the window, a desk in front of the window is going to cause your attention to avert from the task at hand, to the outside world. If you live in a beautiful area, as I do, it's hard not to stare out the window for a few minutes. I find that I do that often, and while I do get distracted, that is one distraction that can help me to gather my thoughts. I just did it now!
Another thing is to open a word pad document. Copy the sites you'd like to visit and then save the document. Take either another's day online time to look over those sites, or take 15 minutes out of your already allotted time that day, and look at the sites, or a few of the sites.
Different sites have different advantages, and to make money, you have to figure out which one site, or which part of one site, is the most fun, or the fastest for you. Some people might zip through the tasks here, but take their time on discussions. Tasks not only are fun if you enjoy writing, or looking up keywords, but they can also be fun because the topics are of many interests.
So I guess to wrap it up in a flourish without making this response longer then it needs to be... Just type (a lot! Elaborate! After all Mylot tells you too), have fun, and put those other sites to the side or prioritize them!

Making a list of the links you like! I am not management material by any means, lol, but I know there are different types of management. I am used to being on a schedule, whether it be work, school, or just my own schedule, as long as I have it, I'm good to go!

You must have the commitment and consistent with your commitment. Although it sometimes feels saturated and boring.
I have been working on the internet for 1 year and not earn. My English not good. But I continue to learn and continue to practice with reading and writing. I am sure, I will get paid a moment.
Every day I write on my blog and some sites that pay (eg mylot, etc.).
If I surfeited, I play games or chat on social networking (eg facebook, etc).
So each turn on the computer, I always open the email box, social networking, games and sites that pay. I participate in turn, while listening to the songs.

Well, first of all, install a pop-up blocker !!
I use Opera browser and I see one pop-up every month! Really, it has a very good built-in pop-up blocker, standard, no need to configure anything, works right out of the box!
Then, just close all other distractions (put cell phone on silent, close IM programs, close email programs) and just do the job you have on hand!
