I nominate www.visionadvancement.com.au. It's a blog on productivity and influence. It's a few months old and I post about once a week (it used to be every day, but my time-demands have changed). I'm the main author, and I get a few personal-and-productivity development freeks to write for me every now and again. I don't make any money off the blog (don't plan to either, at least in the short term) but am passionately curious about productivity and influence so I may as well blab to people who care (not my wife). We use the blog to promote some TED-style events that we run (about 4 a year), but the events are the tail, and the blog is the dog. (The tail does not wag the dog).

I'm shamelessly self promoting here, but in actual fact I stumbled on this post whilst trying to find a subscribe-by-email box, without success. Can you help me?!

I just found a newly constructed site.

www.lovesandhugs.weebly.com

Seems to have amazing intentions once their feet is off the ground. 50+ hits their first day on construction.

I like the concept you wrote about. I would like to introduce my blog to your and your community:

I read the GTD etc. literature, implemented some items but could not implement the whole system because I feel it is too stressful as a whole. On the other hand I am dealing with a lot of very busy people in my work and I happened to observe certain habits. I then started interviewing them systematically to collect time saving tips.

The result is published in the Time Management Master blog. It is a collection of more than 200 practical time saving tips on how to gain an extra hour every day. The tips can be applied at home, at work or on the road. Not all tips will work on everyone, but if you find 30 that work for you it already can help you significantly to become more efficient.

It update it almost every day and traffic has been growing steadily month by month. I might just fall into the trap you described since I am not sure for how long I will be able to create new ideas and articles. It might therefore be that the best is already in :)

Please check it out and let me know what you think about it.

Thanks in advance.

Nicolas

I would like to recommend Mike King's productivity blog: "Learn This."

I know Mike personally; he's a gem of a person, which shows in his blogs. He has some great posts on productivity, career, and self-improvement. His book reviews are my favourite!

I've started a new blog "Idea Pod" to discuss ideas, past and present that are useful for framing what we do day to day. I post on the value of a positive mindset to achieving the good life; on education, architecture, emotions and more. I'd love for you to take a look :) I'm an historian by training and love to consider the developments in the fields of Positive Psychology and Neuroscience, and the effect of new ideas on our perspective as humans in the twenty-first century.
Have a great day.

Hi,

I started Scordo.com (http://www.scordo.com/blog/blog) about 7 months ago to share stories and tips on leading a practical life. I focus on how-to, personal finance, and general life tips. I'm a first generation Italian-American who has learned a lot from his family and especially his immigrant father.

Thanks,

I started my blog Balance In All Things (http://balanceinallthings.org) to help me organize my thoughts on reducing stress in my life. I felt that when stress gets high, it is because things are falling out of balance.

So I looked at my life and made certain things more important and other things less important. Along the way I removed my debt, reduced the clutter around my house, and cherished the time I had with my family more.

I like to talk about a moment in my life, either success or failure, and what I learned from the experience.

On my site I have my top five posts that really hit home what I'm trying to do.

Thanks for the opportunity.

As a blogger I frequently cover GTD and management topices among others that are of interest to me. I get bored with the productivity p0rn so I can't just be a "smut smuggler."

Thanks Jared for the shout out.

As a blog writer I am always looking to mix up my posts. I think it would be unfeasible to totally write posts all the time about your own opinions and findings so I do mix in some news items and things I have found on the web.

I am very strict about quality and relevance. I always provide posts that I believe add value.

Thanks,

I second Patrick's recommendation for Clay.

And I'll throw in Andrew Mason of http://www.didigetthingsdone.com/ - while a lot of his writing is in the form of reviews, he actually uses the material he write about instead of just covering it. i.e., though there's a news component to much of it, it's the practical side of that news that I find valuable.
