I’m adjusting the blogging schedule a little bit. Mondays will be new posts on simplifying and streamlining life and work. Thursdays will be some of my favorite links from the week that relate to this topic.
Without further ado…
How to Ride the Recession the Steve Jobs Way from MicroPersuasion – Apple does what they do and they do it well. The best way to prepare for a job crunch or any kind of job change is not to take on extra stuff, but more to focus on what you do well, and do it exceptionally well
Minding the Little Things from Brip Blap – Little things can often turn into problems. Taking time to do some regular maintenance of things in your life can keep that big blowup from coming. The author uses the example of a car problem and expands it into potential problems in other areas of life.
Save Money Shopping Online with GoTo Daily from Lifehacker – For those who shop online, this little tool will do a quick scan of any available discount codes or coupons so you can get the best deal. I am slowly getting into online shopping more, even for things like groceries, so I’ll probably give this a try soon.
Five confessions in failed attempts at “productivity,” where it’s led me, and where it can take you from Technotheory – Attempts at being more productive often fail and it’s easy to get frustrated. This article about that very thing was interesting because the author set out to write an article explaining how he’d failed. However, as he was writing he began to reflect on the failures and successes he had. Conclusion is that even a failure can move you more in the direction you want to go, and change rarely happens overnight.
The 5-, 10-, and 15-minute unclutterer from unclutterer – for those who have a hard time cleaning up and decluttering or for those who have a hard time finding time. This article breaks down some easy projects to take on that will help with the mess.
