I admit I'm a Firefox add-on afficionado. I not only open tabs but if I close one too fast I use the Ctrl+Shift+T keys to reopen! The one that distracts me the most is the Twitterfox popup at the bottom of the screen showing up-to-the minutes tweets from friends. I tried ignoring but finally had to uninstall. And I don't even like Twitter! When I want to review or respond to several links that I find on one page (e.g. recent visitors widget or BlogCatalog discussions or Google searches) I do open up to 6 or 7 tabs to avoid going back to the first page --- please tell me this save time! :) True.

Tabs have been killing me for a while but the four tab limit seems to be working just fine. @Srinivas Nice, it seems you've got a hold of tabmania :) @Carla Good idea.

I use tabs to mainly when I'm commenting on blog posts. I have tended to shut down FB and Twitter updates because they do distract from productivity.

I don't think I can give them up NOW, but I can control myself a little better. I close out the ones I absolutely don't need to use or have open. I agree with you about the tabs.

It's really touching to hear this. It's easy to get obsessed with what is shiny and what is new, but what we need to look out for is simplicity and substance. Those are the true keys to a stable, happy life. I'm glad you've decided my writing is good. Hope to see you around more often :) @Dani Thanks for your input, Dani! @yuro 20% of your efforts account for 80% of your results. When you put this in web surfing terms - just a few clicks of the mouse account for most of your time wasted. Great thoughts. @Nazim I'm elated to hear that you love my blog. I've put a lot of energy and effort into this blog. Your time is precious. Treat it as such. Thanks for the comment! @Matt No worries, man and thanks. It’s really touching to hear this.

Love it. With regard to this article: I've just started turning off my computer or going in a room without one when I need to get work done. T The reason: one e-mail, facebook check, turns into a 2 hour marathon of lost productivity. Been reading your site for days now. Love it.

Just want to stumble a little bit, in the end I stumble many many sites. And an hour or two has been gone. The same goes to facebook and twitter, very addictive. What I do to counter this is by using google chrome because there are not many button in there like firefox. And divide the time between productivity and research (stumble, facebook, etc) Yeah I agree

Great post, John. I really needed to hear that this morning. It is so easy to get caught up in the interneti. It has so many shiny things to trip us up and help us waste time. The thing I keep coming back to is that we are writers. The old adage that I hate to hear is that, "Writers write." I can spend a whole month blinging up my blog or I can sit down and write. Thanks again, John. You have great insight. I look forward to reading much more from you. God Bless, Matt “Simplicity is still the key to getting things done.”
