Weekly Round-Up #100: 100+ Productivity Blogs You Need To Read In 2017
I thought I’d do something a little special for our 100th Weekly Round-Up so I’ve put together a list of great productivity blogs for you to check out. Some will be familiar, others won’t so if you want to get your productivity self in shape for 2017, improve your work-life balance or start to think mindfully then check out this massive list of productivity blogs – enjoy!
Wow! I can’t believe we’re at 100 posts in our weekly round-up series, where has the time gone?
To celebrate I’ve put together a list of blogs that you need to checkout in 2017. It started out at 100 but that was a bit limiting so we’re now on over 120 productivity blogs in this list! If you think I have missed one out and would like me to add it, please Contact Me so we can share it with everyone.
The list below covers a wide range of topics from blogs about work-life balance, minimalist workplaces and making your office space more productive to great authors who write about self-improvement, motivation and positivity.
Because it was too hard to pick an order to put these blogs in – they’re all fantastic – I’ve ordered the list alphabetically to be fair. The one caveat for inclusion was that ttihese blogs had to have posted a new article within the past 3 – 6 months.
If you want to add these great blogs to your RSS Reader you can download a zipped OPML list of the feeds at the end of the post.
I hope you like this Round-Up and don’t forget to subscribe to by blog using the form below to stay updated with productivity techniques, self-improvement and motivation tips, free downloads and of course my weekly round-ups of productivity news.
