Some times I think my head is going to explode. I used to work every day but eventually dropped it back to 5 days a week and started taking weekends off to spend with my family. That's when I realized I was actually getting more done in those 5 days than I was previously working 7 days a week. This fact started my mind spinning through the past and I suddenly realized that the times I allowed my brain to rest for a while and leave things for a bit that when I returned to that task I was much better at it. Playing guitar was one of those things that helped me understand this. When I would bust my butt to learn new songs and chords I would get to a point where I wasn't improving, but if I stopped what I was doing and let it go for a day or two I was much better at it when I returned. So now when I get burned out, which doesn't happen nearly as often as it used to, I just get away from. My choice of getting away from it is to go fishing for a day or two, that always clears the mind.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14914','James Mann'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14914','James Mann','I would have to add my name to that information overload list if you\'re making one.

I'm confused! And if my sites are well indexed by Yahoo, do I really need to cough up $300 for the directory? Yeah, the dmoz thing is a waste of time.

I thought Google had put the kabosh on paid links... Why would anyone want to risk $300 only to get de-indexed? Or am I not getting how this works? thanks for the link though - linkbuilding is my weakest point. Once I get into it I'm fine, but for some reason I have a huge mental block about getting started.
