Today is the final day of the experiment I’ve been doing for four days.

This month’s Experiment: Stop reading blogs. If you want to read about the experiment from the starting, here are the links.
Day 1; Day 2; Day 3

Conclusion:

My productivity increased by 70%:

Tangible proofs:
• I wrote 18 posts in this blog,
• Designed and launched 2 more web templates on templatefair.com
• Submitted 3 articles on 4 article directories
• Posted comments on pro blogs
• Joined some communities and improved my social network group
• Found a mentor
• and my blog stats show that I had the highest number of visitors in these last 4 days than in the last 4 months I started this blog.
• Chalked out a step by step plan to improve and market my websites

It has been an enlightening period:

Intangible Corollaries
• I’m not confused or bewildered with all the contradictory info available on the net.
• Feel more confident
• I’m able to peruse the prospects more logically because I know things are going to work

Won’t I read blogs in the future:
Ofcourse I will read. But a selected few. I unsubscribed to 32 RSS feed of the 50+ I had. The remaining feeds include 4 pro blogs on IM, 5 on web design stuff, 4 IM news and rest are misc like CNN, BBC, Times etc. I’ll utilize the most unproductive time of my day for reading other blogs in the bookmarks.

Time to Implement
Read only as much as you can implement and utilize. If you are looking for basics, choose a blog which caters for the needs of beginners. Don’t try to learn rocket science with the intention you might one day after 100 years would get to handle a rocket.
