Every Internet marketer faces a thing called information overload at some point in his or her career and this can cause your productivity to wane and that is why it is important that you address it in the beginning. Start off by putting filters wherever you can, like in your email, your RSS reader and more. This can help you filter out the things that might eat up your time without actually being of use to you. Beyond this, focus just on those things that you know will give you the information you need right at your desk. If you have subscribed to mailing lists that bombard you with less value and more promotional pitches, unsubscribe to them.
If you have to take care of a lot of time consuming and mundane tasks it is time to start exploring your options for automation and/or outsourcing. In Internet Marketing, you need to focus on earning more profits not on allowing things that are better left for outsourcing or automation take up a lot of your time.
The more you focus just on this one factor, the more you can grow and the faster you can move.
