Well, I’ve decided to start a new weekly segment which will basically outline 5 posts from other bloggers that I really enjoyed over the past week. There’s definitely no shortage of material, as one thing I’ve realized since I’ve started my blogging journey is that there are some really great websites out there that offer a lot of value. Anyway, here’s the articles that really sparked my interest this week, so much so that I wanted to share.
Ever since I was introduced to Alex Shalman’s blog I’ve really become a big fan of his writing. I like the depth of his personal development articles, and I even contributed to his Happiness Project. He had an inspiring post about the ways to enjoy life’s greatest pleasures. It really is a quality article and a must read.
Over at Get Rich Slowly, FrugalTrader of Million Dollar Journey has a guest post about how he took his net worth from $-40,000 to $285,000 in 5 years. It serves as a great general guide to improve your debt situation, as well as good motivation if you’re getting discouraged with the amount of debt in your finances.
Trent at the Simple Dollar had a nice post about the power of deliberate practice and personal finance. The correlation between that method and finance is interesting to me, as well as the exploration of shifting your focus away from the outcome and more on the actual process.
If you’ve read this site at all, you know that my frustrations with my current day job are off the charts right now. Fittingly, David Bohl had a post at Dumb Little Man about dealing with a career you hate. Talk about right up my alley! It’s seriously been getting worse, so much so I think I might have to look for something else.
Lastly, there was an interesting article by Luciano Passuello over at Litemind about improving your memory using the memory palace method. I have always had a pretty bad memory when it came to every day things, and am always looking for ways to improve it.
That’s it for this week, hope you all are doing well out there and if you have some other great articles you’ve been reading be sure to share!
