Hi everyone,

In a recent influx of guest posting that wasn’t suitable for the blog, I found myself wishing that more of the readers of this blog would submit ideas and content for publication. After all, you all are using tips and tricks to get through your days, whether from me or from someone else or from your own invention.

Do you have something you do to manage your calendar? Or bills? Or task list? What do you like about GTD? Or do you hate it? Why? What about the latest productivity system/software/methodology? Do you automate something? What bugs you the most in your day-to-day activities?

We’ve had readers share before on how they manage to get through National Novel Writing Month, in spite of having toddler triplets at home. Or how they gave up a car.

I’d like to ask anyone who has something unique that they do in the realms of productivity or simplicity to drop me a line at guestpost@SimpleProductivityBlog.com.

You don’t have to be a writer, or have your own blog. It doesn’t have to be lengthy.  I’d just like to share reader stories and experiences.  Things from you that work.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hugs,

My friend and fellow blogger, Barrie Davenport of Live Bold and Bloom, has just released a new set of six guides called The Bold Living Guides (aff). These Guides cover the most essential areas of personal growth with specific strategies and simple action steps for creating a better, fuller, and happier life.

I have seen these Guides myself and can tell you without a doubt that they provide hundreds of tips, how to’s and realistic strategies for positive life change. They are beautifully designed with photos and inspirational quotes.

Here are the topics for The Bold Living Guides

• Self-Awareness and Personal Growth
• Passion and Purpose
• Positive Change and Simple Productivity
• A Healthy Lifestyle for Mind, Body, and Spirit
• Amazing Relationships
• Professional and Financial Well-Being

You can purchase the Guides individually or as a complete set. Each Guide has 15 chapters and the total set is 476 pages.

They are very reasonably priced – and if your purchase the set, you will get a 15% discount on Barrie’s life-changing course, Discover Your Passion: A Step-by-Step Course for Creating the Life of Your Dreams.

I hope you will check them out now by clicking here:
The Bold Living Guides

The cost of the full set of Guides is less than half the cost if you purchased all of
the guides individually. Plus you get 15% off the Discover Your Passion course. Barrie is offering a great deal here!

And as always, Barrie offers a money-back guarantee. You have nothing to lose! Check them out at The Bold Living Guides

Problogger.net has published an article I wrote on how to be a good guest post host.

“You often see articles about how to be a good guest poster: things you can do to make an impression and get your post published. But what about the flip-side of that? Do you have what it takes to be a good guest post host?”

I get many questions in person and through email about productivity, time management, organization and simplicity, and I thought I would do a Q&A session here on the blog.

This is an experiment, so if the first one doesn’t do well, I won’t do it again.

Submit your questions about any of the above subjects to QASession [at] SimpleProductivityBlog [dot] Com by midnight on Sunday 10 July, and I’ll do a Q&A session on these questions on the 16th.
