That’s it… I’m not going to respond to one more offer that comes into my email inbox, gets posted on one of my favorite blogs, or that my Twitter friends recommend. Not even the free ones!
Why?
Because I’m in information and implementation overload. Everyday I get incredible offers for products and projects that are of great interest to me and that I want to participate in. But I have countless numbers of these products and projects that I’ve already downloaded and that are waiting for my attention.
Before I accept another offer I need to digest and implement everything I already have.
Of course I’m already worried that I’m going to miss out on something extremely worthwhile (like this Sweetie Saturday Report Coupon Offer), but in reality, if it is worthwhile it will have staying power, and I can participate after I’ve finished my other projects (not the coupon of course, but the membership will be there when I’m ready). Many things I’ve already downloaded never made it off the back burner anyway, so waiting wouldn’t have made a difference.
Of course learning is always important, but action is critical to success. I need to take action on some of my projects before I plan any more.
I’m taking a six week hiatus from accepting new offers. If I still have too many products and projects waiting for me I’ll extend it. I’m hoping I’m pretty much caught up, so I can start anew!
How about you? Are you on overload and what are you doing about it?
I totally agree and see where you’re coming from. Every morning when I open my email I have a couple of dozen emails in my inbox and it becomes a very time consuming job sorting through them. The internet is fantastic and I love being able to earn my living online. However there is so much information out there that it can be overwhelming at times.
