Wow--CollegeDegree.com has compiled a very useful resource that is making all of us productivity junkies swoon!

It's The Top 100 Productivity and Lifehack Blogs, and eSoup is honored to be included.

The list is most helpfully divided into the categories of Life Organizers, Productivity in the Workplace, Expert Advice, Personal Growth, Prioritizing/GTD, and Personal Finance Hacks.

I've already found some stellar blogs that I didn't know about--definitely going to be surfing that list for the next few weeks! :-)

How To Schedule Your Blogging Time Like A Professional Writer

Whether you think of yourself as a professional writer or not, if you have a blog (or two, or three, or four, or more!), it's a sure thing that you'll find yourself writing pretty much every day, and after a while you'll start to wonder:

How could I be organizing my time in such a way as to get the most creativity and productivity out of my blogging time?

I found myself in that situation last year, and I discovered that the difference between being able to post 3 times a week (or less) on one blog and being able to post twice a day on multiple blogs was all determined in how I scheduled my writing time.

HowTo Take A Spontaneous Day Off & Still Keep Your Business Running Smoothly

Entrepreneurs have to be the hardest working folks on the planet.

We usually carry much or all of the work load for our businesses, and that makes it difficult to take days off. We are human, however, and there will be days when for one reason or another we're just not feeling up to par.

While it may be tempting to "gut it out" and just work through the pain, I think a healthier and more productive strategy is to take the day off, rest and pamper ourselves so that we can recuperate our strength and bounce back fast.

Taking a spontaneous day off is sooo much easier if, during healthier times, you've put a safety net system in place for those pesky unforeseen sick, mental health, or family emergency days.
