fitnfree I hear you and that's a challenge for me too.
ESPECIALLY related to blogging.
I scan all my feedreaders and several other places for news or interesting ideas to blog about 1st thing every morning.
I hit a good story, which links to something else interesting,
then see something totally unrelated in the sidebar
just want to take a quick peek for future reference
That story links to a blog I have not read before
so I scan the new blog's archives to see if I can find anything good
yep that looks interesting hmmm it links to an interesting story elsewhere
hmmm this other story links to this new keyword tool
ya thats the ticket, lets blog about that
oops wait better try it 1st to be sure it works
oh THATS an interesting key phrase - wonder if its a viable niche
do they have an affiliate program?
are there any products like this for sale on ebay?
what does Google trends have to say?
WAIT... what was I doing?
I soon have a bazillion windows open, I'm lost in space and I still haven't blogged.
I have IADD - Internet Attention Deficit Disorder 
IADD is even a bigger challenge for n00bs. Imagine being new to the world of making money online. It's like being a kid in a candy store and everything looks good. No wonder newbies have a hard time picking a niche and a system and getting going.
There are just too many distractions online.
It's a wonder any of us get anything done!
