What if you had to pay for clicks?

Google has made a million dollars on their pay-per-click adSense, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’ve been reading books like the 4-Hour Workweek and there’s a big push for efficiency. It’s great. “Check your email twice a day. Not more. Really. You’ll survive.” It’s amazing – I never thought I could do it, but it feels good, and is actually more efficient. Less changing gears. But I digress. This sort of tip has made me think about efficiency in front of the computer. Things like thinking things through before even touching the mouse. Putting pen to paper. Working on one project at a time. Like that.

And then I realized a great measurement would be clicks. Imagine if you had to pay for clicks? Or there was an odometer on yr mouse? How efficient would you be! I’ve tried to think about how to do things in fewer steps, fewer movements, fewer mistakes. I’ve gotten better about focusing, and def am more efficient. Give it a try and let me know what yr results are!
