My secret is to work at night and get into my zone.  Really the trick for me is to turn my A.D.D. into a strength and jump from item to item to item.  It is hard to relate to unless you have A.D.D. too.  You are able to hyper-focus into a wide ranged tunnel vision.  By the time I come out of it I have definitely made a mark on the web!

Don't care for your competition. Don't care for the new fancy SEO stuff. Don't care for tricks or the "easy way".

Just do your homework. (site architecture, crawlability, quality links & content)

Here at SEOmoz that means:

1. Kill all the errors in "Crawl Diagnostics"

2. Bring all your keywords to an "Grade A" in On-page

3. Be the peer group leader in "Link Analysis"

Three simple steps ... easy as 1..2..3. Not really

Video. Adding video to each of my posts seems to build my brand and help out with things like "time on site". Posting the video to at least two or three platforms, but using the Youtube video on site sharing the same title as the post as well. Most of my videos and posts are on first page...so I think that works, but don't quote me...LOL.

Ok that idea is awesome!

What you experienced is called "FLOW". Check out a book called "Good Business" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. When you achieve flow, your productivity soars.

So true. This Onion article does indeed make you wonder about what you stop and listen to.

I usually go about that Working on projects a little each Day. And then build up days like that.. Like one hour building links, one hour writing contenter and then one hour coding - or something like that

[Budskab]

Read an artikel about "flow" a fem months back - Kinda stating the same as you. Try and match your ongoing tasks so that you are both challenged and succeeding at the same time... This Will help build up that great momentum

Yearh... I guess a lot of people run Info the information overload instead of just taking action - I know I do

[malecce]

For me the best Seo strategy is to copy from others who learn more!

Just kidding ... but not too much

I see there are lots of us here having that situation. Now I feel less alone, Dejane

Btw, for me, sometimes it's 4 hours in one day, sometimes 1 hour in 2 days. And as Glenn wrote, hard to explain to someone I can give 50 hours worth work in just 1 hour sometimes. And 49 hours working can be wasted if it's not moment and mood
