To give you an example: As I am writing an article I am aware that I have to do a bit of stumbling in order to keep up my traffic from Stumbleupon, so I click on the Firefox button and stumble for a few minutes before coming back to the article. Then an e-mail might come in and I think, “I better check that in case it’s important” so off I wander over to Outlook and check my e-mails, I then get caught in an e-mail which has a link to something interesting. I then get off Firefox and back to the article. My sons come downstairs and ask me a question, I give them an answer, and then back to the article. Something on TV catches my eye so I start watching TV. The cycle can be never ending and you could start something and make a 1-hour job last all day. This article should only take an hour to write and edit and put on the blog, I’ll tell you how long it took at the end.
