Man! I have been doing all those five every single day. Not to mention I am also a blogger myself. I partly agree to that. And I am using Haiku Productivity to handle those web apps now.

thanks for the post, you are probably right, but I use ALL of them and I try to justify that… and have managed, somehow, to get productivity…. ( as in my blog )

@billboy: lol! Link chasing can definitely lead to lots of distraction … you might limit your time online to 10-20 minutes at a time, or whatever works for you — I often use a timer to make sure I stay on track. Good luck! – leo

Thanks, meandering … I’m glad you’ve found this blog useful. But I know what your mean about finding good blogs to read … as I mentioned, I subscribe to them and crank through them on Google Reader a couple times a day. That way I have my blog reading limited to certain times of the day — otherwise I could do it all day (and have a couple times in the past!). Thanks for the comment! – leo
