Pesonal Development Sites?

July 7, 2006 8:50 AM

I want to compile a list of personal development and productivity sites. (Most are probably weblog-based, but that's not a requirement.) I'm looking for sites with real, practical information that you can use in your everyday life, sites that motivate you to be a better person, to try new things. Examples: 43 Folders, Steve Pavlina. Please point me to your favorites!

And, yes, I'm well-aware of lifehacker! It's a good example of the sort of thing I'm after...

Here's a great blog:
Scott H. Young
Look for his series on "Patterns of Success."
It's all very good.

There's D. Keith Robinson's (recently closed) To-Done.

Scary, clairezulkey, I think that blog - posted at the exact same time - means jdroth should probably make a quick visit. Something definitely worthwhile is waiting.

Oh good grief. I typed "pesonal development sites" in as a title and "personal devloment" as a tag. My spelling and typing are abysmal lately.

More please!

I Will Teach You To Be Rich is definitely skewed towards personal finance, but it has a lot of non-intimidating, actionable tips on improving your financial health and identifying financial goals.

Manager Tools is aimed at people who have staff reporting to them, but the producers are brilliant and have a lot of wisdom—in the form of real, practical information—for anyone who's interested in being as effective as possible.
