    Very good article indeed. I see so many "Talkers".....I think the world is saturated of them.... in these days so few people take action...

    Ohhh.....

    I am such a talker. I keep kick myself to be a doer.

    It is an everyday battle. Get stuff done. Get stuff done. Get stuff done.

    I guess I should tape my mouth shut, point my eyes at my work, and not move from my seat until it is done.

    Thanks for sharing the post.

    Great article! Action is needed everyday, there is no tomorrow. And yes, video games can be a serious downtime, if You can`t control it.
    Chris, is this Your friends blog?

      Aleksejs,

      No, he's not anyone that I know personally, but I've been reading his blog for a long time. Always great content.

    As a self proclaimed talker I am exactly as described in the article...although it's COD for me not Stracrack but it's the same difference.

    I can even relate to the clinical depression as I have been diagnosed with that within the last year as well...

    now it's just a matter of doing...I need to learn to schedule and prioritize...it's just so much easier to come home from work, login and check out for the day.

    I would love to hear how others are dealing with these challenges...how do you schedule your time.

      Andrew, great quote!!

      I never read that one before, but it's so true! I'm taking that quote, printing it out, and pinning it on my wall.

      Thanks,

      Paul

    That's a funny article - I've done much the same - with the same game. I bought it a few weeks ago because my nephew just got it and wanted someone to play. I finally got to play it with him and my other nephew this weekend, but I've now notched-up about 100 games since I got it and only 4 of those were with my nephews.

    Very insightful, I think we could all take something away from this.

    I recently was doing very well with a certain traffic source, when bought a new game Red Dead Redemption for my xbox this caused me to do no work for a week or very little anyway and my profits suffered heavily its very easy to be distracted I find writing a daily plan helps me stay focused I take 10 minutes before my tea to write the next days jobs, this really helps me

    Talkers vs. Doers
    Five years ago, I was full of hot air. Well, that and I was clinically depressed.
    But something changed in the autumn of 2005. I began to read a lot of books. Not just personal finance books (though, as you know, I read plenty of those), but also self-help books and success manuals. I read Feeling Good to deal with my depression,


    Being someone who has been diagnosed with depression this is an insult. Picking up a book aint gonna cut it. I think he needs to clarify. I know how hard it is to be a doer, even if you don't have health ailments!

    Reason why I at least try to JV and leverage because I am not the island I once was.

    Oops a rant
