If you have not come across Priscilla Palmer’s list of personal development blogs you have probably been living under a rock as it seems to be getting mentioned everywhere. At the last count there were over 400 links listed, which kind of puts my list of GTD blogs to shame (are there even 400+ GTD blogs out there?). Anyways, it’s been a long time since I last did a random links post so I thought it was a good opportunity to delve through those 400+ blogs and pick out some the best sites/posts that really impressed me:

• Urban Monk: Most dangerous mistake in tapping your intuition
• Monk At Work: How productivity comes from clarity
• John Place: 21 life critical lessons you didn’t learn in school
• Purposeful Growth: Embrace fear as a friend
• A Miracle A Day: Dealing with people being difficult
• Jacin Steele: The secret to making chores easy
• Diethack: 5 desk exercises to boost your work energy
• Everyday Wonderland: Entertainment addiction
• Goal Setting College: Now you can write SMART goals that work!

A couple of weeks ago I did my top 10 GTD & productivity sites/blogs, so it was only natural I would end up bringing together all the sites I have bookmarked into one handy list (over 100 at the last update). If you feel I have missed a site out then please leave a comment.

It’s been a while since I did a links update so here it is. I come across interesting productivity and self-help sites on a regular basis so below are some of the site that stood out for me within the last two months:

• Unclutterer
• Getting (Some) Things Done
• HD BizBlog
• Gearfire
• Moleskinerie
• Matt’s Idea Blog
• Not Your Average Fitness Blog
• Did I Get Things Done?

Well, I may have finally succumbed to the lure of the Moleskine. Maybe. I’ve never bought one before as I just couldn’t justify spending so much money. I like my system to have some scope for scribbling and doodling thoughts and ideas down when necessary, and given how expensive a Moleskine is I just couldn’t feel comfortable using it for anything but neat work.

That was until somebody bought me one. So now I have my very own Moleskine and there are so many ideas on how it can be used. I’ve got a lot of research to do so I am going to start by doing a comprehensive list of all the hacks and approaches I’ve found on the subject. If you know of any others then please leave a link in the comment and I will add it to the list.

I’ve been away for over a week on holiday hense the lack of posts recently. From today I’m hoping to catch up with things. One of the first things I did when I got back home was to get up to date with the latest goings on with my favourite sites. I have quite a few productivity blogs bookmarked on my del.icio.us account so it certainly took a while It got me to thinking which of these sites really stood out for me and provided top content on a regular basis. In an attempt to answer this I’ve come up with my top 10 GTD & productivity sites/blogs. Bear in mind, it’s by no means definitive. There are so many sites out there that I could quite easily wake up tomorow and change half the list
