stop checking your fucking stats

[Sonny Forelli]

Also include a couple dozen "hey what's up ________" IM's daily from AM's on the extreme time suck list.

statsremote does a good job for me - it updates every 15 minutes and it makes a noise when you have a sale...

So a noise every 15 minutes? Awesome. Mine gives me backrubs, but on the hour. Sale or no sale.

Yep. Checking stats is the worst addiction after marijuana.
I understand the "stop checking stats blablabla" theory, but it's hard to actually do it.

I have my girlfriend whisper "Check my stats" in my ear when I fuck her.

Tell me more.

the 'noise' can be any .wav file you assign it to be...or alternatively you can turn it off or have it run on longer intervals than 15 minutes (i.e. 1 hour).

Tell me more.

You'll have to subscribe to my newsletter.

Hmmmm, where did all the profitable guys go??

Leave my addiction alone!

I was gonna say something relevant here but I think we all know why i'm replying to this in the first place

You could take it a step further:

zip submit conversion - play a default Windows beep
dating conversion - play a favourite mp3
acai conversion - play Beethoven's 9th Symphony

How about surfing WF? That has been a problem for me recently. Honestly, probably 2-3 hours a day now. Needs to stop (or at least shorten).

i always prefer todo lists on whiteboards, unless theyre secret todo lists, in which case only paper or electronic file works. i really wish someone made a digital whiteboard so i could write shit on it and then save it and pw protect it so nobody else could see.

Google tasks?
txt file in an encrypted 7zip file?
txt file in pw protected dir off ftp?

Or are you saying an actual white board that you can draw on..?

Damn, Amazon stats update only once in 24 hrs.

actual whiteboard i can draw on w/ 'erasable' (digital!) markers. too hard to draw dicks all over the place on the pc.

I think this would be the best whiteboard setup ever, LCD tablet + projector pointing somewhere in your normal field of vision (sitting at the PC)

Or you could consider the tablet alone..

checking stats is like digital crack...

 

[neonlights]

I've had to stop myself checking shit on my downtime coz I realized I was just looking for stuff to be going wrong. And if everything was running smoothly, I wouldn't feel any better anyway!

Better off setting up a structured routine and sticking to it. Check your stats at set times during the day.
