It’s been too long since I’ve linked out to the fantastic resources outside of this blog! The ugly truth is that while links posts don’t take a ton of brain power, they do take a ton of time (at least for me). While I’ve been snoozing, some great new sites have cropped up that I want you to know about, and seasoned blogs have been kicking out some very insightful pieces. Here we go!

First off, I’d recommend checking out Simple Sapien. This newcomer has some great things to say, and the focus is 100 percent on simple living. Check out 80 Ways to Simplify Your Life or What Is the Definition of “Simple”? to get started.

My Super-Charged Life tells it like it is with The Busyness and Hurriedness of Life Is Overwhelming. You probably already know that, but read this article for the “How to overcome the addiction to busyness” section.

The Wisdom Journal takes on the financial crisis with Where Do We Go From Here? How About Back to the Basics? I enjoyed the common-sense tone here, as well as the encouragement that we can take action immediately.

My Dollar Plan (Have you been reading the early retirement posts? Totally fascinating!) gave us Ideas for Frugal and Easy Cooking. This is so what I’ve needed, and I’m ready to give the pizza dough a crack.

Simple Mom has clearly had a few mental telepathy moments with me. Get Things Done at Home by Getting Stuff out of Your Brain is applicable to anyone, and truly helpful advice.

Frugal Dad asks, Does Spending Less Money Get Easier Over Time? I would say yes, it does, but I also agreed with his caveat. This is a wonderful question to be asking and discussing as most families are tightening their belts in some way.

Marc and Angel offer 77 Keys to Living Well Before You Die. It may sound morbid, but consider the opening lines: “Time flies.  Life is what you make of it.  Everyday is a day of opportunity. Think it.  Seek it.  Find it.  Live it.” Beautiful.

Work Happy Now reminds us that Imagination Isn’t Just for Kids. Here’s my favorite line: “Hey, dancing on a table can really get a party going.” A fun read and great underlying point.

PluginID has had some great, great, great stuff for the last few weeks, but my personal favorite was 10 Things You Are Not. I try to get this idea across pretty regularly, but it’s expressed far more clearly here.

An older item at TipNut caught my attention: 10 Tips for Mastering a Messy Home. If you’ve got a whole lot of mess, this piece can give you some good starting places.

Okay, this one’s not fresh, but MomGrind’s Wordless Wednesday last week is a fantastic reminder that simple can be beautiful.

The Simple Dollar hit home for me with The Psychological and Emotional Attachment to What We Have and What We Want. It’s based on Trent’s thoughts about the book, The Price of Privilege and really rang true.

Did I leave anything out? If you found some great stuff this week that’s worth sharing, drop a link in the comments so we can all check it out.
