Zen Habits - simple productivity

Zen Habits is a blog to turn to for all sorts of useful tips and advice about ways to make your life easier, more productive, and indeed potentially better and happier.

Leo Babauta writes the Zen Habits blog and this is from the "about" page:

Zen Habits covers: achieving goals, productivity, being organized, GTD, motivation, eliminating debt, saving, getting a flat stomach, eating healthy, simplifying, living frugal, parenting, happiness, and successfully implementing good habits.

The blog follows a weekly routine with features on a specific topic so Monday focuses on productivity and organization, Tuesday is about finance and family, Wednesday is about simplicity, Thursday is about happiness and Friday is focused on health.

The 'favourite posts' listed on the left side of the blog is also a useful feature, especially for new readers.

There is a Zen Habits forum too, where you can "ask questions, motivate each other, and hold discussions" with other readers of Zen Habits.

A blog about "One family's search for the good life"

Do you fancy going back to basics and living life in a more simple way? Do you think about changing your ways and becoming more thrifty and caring for the environment by living a 'green' lifestyle? If you do, then you will enjoy reading the blog called bean-sprouts by Melanie Rimmer. Her interesting blog is very informative but also a lot of fun and chatty. Take a look and I think you will agree.
