Tuesdays are open loop days at SimpleProductivity blog.

I love how Heinrich at the Positivity Blog always focuses on real solutions to problems. In “How to Turn a Bad Day Around: 5 Helpful Steps”, he does a wonderful job. My favorite? Being grateful. It never fails.
A good reminder from Leo: it counts what you do today. From “» Get Back on Track”
My only question with this is “why”? From Lifehacker’s “Tipping Teacup Eliminates Tea Bags, Balls, and Other Infusers”
I haven’t been this excited about something for a long time! I see another “break” product coming out of this. From Lifehacker’s “DIY Food Item Magnets Help Keep Track of What’s in Your Freezer”
I can’t be bothered with coupons. How about you? Do you believe in them, and follow Lifehacker’s tips? Or do you ignore them too? From “The Best, Non-Crazy Ways to Use Grocery Coupons”
To me, I don’t need balance and serenity so much after a productive day, but rather after a frantic hyper-productive one. Some great tips from Life Optimizer’s “10 Ways to Find Balance and Serenity After a Productive Day”
A great article from Dumb Little Man on “5 Small Things You Can Do Today to Infuse Your Day with Positivity”. And they’re not all about changing your thinking!
I agree with this article from Lifehack. Some of us are just not morning people. I’ve used most of these tips with some success, but others I will try. (For the record, I have an alarm clock in the bathroom so that I have to go into another room to turn it off!) From “7 Morning Hacks to Jumpstart Your Day”.
Some great tips on how to “How to Cleanup Your Web Reading” from Lifehack.org.
An interesting question from Dumb Little Man: “Is Time Management Really Such a Good Idea? – by Dumb Little Man”
Concise advice from the folks at Daytimer on “4 Ways to Avoid Schedule Overload Each Day”
This post was aimed at writers, but I think it applies to goals in general. From Writer Unboxed, “Be a More Confident Writer: 5 Choices That Might Be Hurting Instead of Helping”
“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you always got.” The Positivity Blog has some ways to change things up a bit at “21 Ways to Do the Unusual Thing Today and Start Creating a Positive Change in Your Life”
