On to the links! I’ve finally gotten hooked on Google Reader, and have been devouring more blogs than ever before. It’s time to pass on the love by sharing some of the best articles I’ve come across in the last week or so.

In My Heels had a great post on 7 Guaranteed Ways to Drastically Improve Your Life. JEMi’s seven tips are all things you can do right now. Her perspective is amazing, and adds a lot of depth to what might’ve been just another list on a different blog.

Marelisa’s Abundance Blog had a fab article on Coaxing Creativity. While not all of the suggestions will apply to everyone, I think pretty much anyone could come away from this article with some new insights on creativity.

The Positivity Blog had a helpful post with 5 Compelling Reasons to Readjust Your Information Diet, and How to Do It. Henrik goes beyond giving five reasons to cut down on media and offers suggestions on how to do it, and also what to do with all that freed up time.

Trent at The Simple Dollar passed on a fantastic reader suggestion in On Saving to Splurge. This article puts splurges and saving into perspective, and it also offers a cool view on travel. Why save up a lifetime to take the ultimate trip when you can take tons of short trips right now? The reader has simplified many areas of her life to enjoy her passion: world travel.

Frugal Dad put together a great action plan to help you Create a Freedom Chart to Map Early Retirement. I love that he treats early retirement as something to actively plan for, not just hope for. This article is actually from two weeks ago, but it’s definitely worth a read.

Sigh. I just love Emily at Remodeling This Life. Her pieces just seem to resonate with a lot of where I’m coming from. This week, she put together a great list of ways to Make Time For Yourself. I enjoyed her suggestion of creating a haven, because what’s time to yourself if there’s nowhere to enjoy it?
