Once you know how to choose the right search words, search engine and become good at judging the quality of a page quickly, the biggist problem still remains distraction. I find I have to struggle to remain fixed on what it is I wanted to search for in the first place. A technique I have found to help is to keep a text file with a list of interesting topics I have stumbled over and when ever I can if I come across something interesting I try to add it to the list rather than follow it. If I then later catch myself surfing for no reason, like now , then I reach for the text file and instead follow one of it's topics. At least that way I try to alway have a search focus, and although I still mght be procastinating from work at least I am following genuine interests.
