Been gathering a list of tool directories to make the first marketing push for LinkZu. My goal is to gather 100 website tool directories to submit too. So far I have 15, only 85 more to go. It is free and it should provide some traffic to my site. I didn't even think of this as a first step until my designer friend metioned it to me. Makes perfect sense, as I don't have to spend any money to get listed. As much as I want this thing to explode right away, the reality is that it is going to take a good amount of time to get anything going. I need to stop obsessively working on LinkZu so much, I negelect other work that actually brings in money and other work that I should be doing such as art websites, I need to better manage my time. For the next few days though I'll be getting the business side of things setup. I won't make the 24th launch but that is ok, because it will take time to setup all the bank stuff properly. This site is basically done, the main thing now is setting up payment processing. There is some other minor details with content that I will complete once the banking is setup.
I'm terrible at managing my time and managing anything. I'm the idea man, I can figure things out, there is no such thing as impossible as far as I am concerned. It is the little deatils and suddle practical nuances that I suck at it. Besides the tedium of simple tasks gets to me after a while, probably why I hate working for THE MAN so much.
As I am sitting here trying to focus (OK, so sometimes my focus is laser-beam like but usaually I am all over the place and my thoughts wander) I get this creeping feeling of dread. I live a pathetic life. Everyday I walk around the house in the same grey hooded sweatshirt, it is getting filthy, the sleeves are begining to turn brown. I'm almost 24 years old and this is what I am doing, living alone in my parents house obsessively working on crazy software ideas, shunning the outside world (except for the visits to the gym) for lines of code. What do I hope to accomplish? I don't know.
