Weekly Links: Missing in Action

It’s been a lovely week of family and fun, but it also means I haven’t been feeding and caring for my RSS reader. So instead of the regular links I’d share, I’m just going to highlight a few blogs that focus on the theme of simplicity. If there are some you haven’t checked out, I’d encourage you to browse them or give them a trial run in your reader (if you use one). Also, if you know of other simplicity blogs, let me know in the comments–I’d love to find more!

David at LivSimpl writes about the deep and the mundane (read the About page for a good explanation on this). In my experience he often succeeds at his mission to “help someone spend a little less time doing something tedious and a little more time doing something they love.”

Tina Su’s Think Simple Now doesn’t focus exclusively on Simplicity, but it’s a significant focus. One great thing about this blog is that Tina focuses on quality over quantity. When a post comes through, it’s pretty much guaranteed to be worth reading.

Escaping Enlightenment is also not about simplicity per se, but it is about questioning your life and all the assumptions that go along with it. Quite frankly, the title alone hooked me.

Another blog with a great title is Put Things Off. That’s about the simplest approach to simplicity I can dream up!

Urban Monk offers an inspiring take on the intersections of simplicity and spirituality. If you’re looking for posts that leave you with big ideas to chew on, this might be right up your alley.

Sharon J’s Finding Simplicity is a fun read. Sharon’s not shy about sharing her personality, which is a big part of why I read her posts: I can pretty much hear her talking through her words.

Simple Zack walks the talk. A young blogger, Zack is probably more simple in actuality than I am even in my dreams. His posts are well-chosen and enjoyably written.

A More Green and Simple Life focuses more on the day-to-day nuts and bolts of living a simple life, like making your own bread and soap.

Pretty much everyone knows about Zen Habits, but it’s still worth mentioning. Leo has a great grip on the benefits of simplicity. One of my all-time favorite posts of his is The Simple Life.

Unclutterer is another standard. The ideas are inspiring and Unitasker Wednesdays are priceless (so head over there today for that!).

And meanwhile, over on the carnival ride:

It’s Okay to Just Shut Up: Understanding Introversion was featured in The Sixteenth Edition of the Carnival of Improving Life.

Also, Bloggers Guide Carnival included Writing Down the Rabbit Hole: Eight Ways to Keep Your Blogging Habit Simple.
