50+ Personal Productivity Blogs You’ve Never Heard of Before (and about a dozen you probably have)

Be more productive

The personal productivity niche on the Web has grown by leaps and bounds since Lifehack launched only a few years ago. While a few sites dominate the rankings, there are lots and lots of lesser-known sites that are as good or even better than the “A-list” productivity blogs.

Most of them are solo operations — the GTD newbie documenting his or her quest for greater control over their life, the coach or consultant sharing his or her knowledge with the world, the writer adding to his or her published work with notes, errata, and new findings.

Their voice is personal, intimate even — and deserves to be heard. So here I present a collection of productivity blogs that are less well-known, by writers I think you should get to know better.

Of course, the big names are here too — after all, I owe some of them a tremendous debt for helping me get a grip on my own life. But they’re not the main show — consider them a kind of lagniappe, a little something extra to remind you of sites you might have forgotten about or to introduce the newcomer to the cornerstones in the field. They’re sprinkled in on equal footing with the rest of the list, shoulder-to-shoulder with the rising stars, the quiet heroes, and the thoughtful mystics of the productivity field.

Enjoy!

  • Bart B says on July 16th, 2008 at 10:10 am

    Thanks for the list, a number of these I’ve never really checked out, and a couple I’ve never seen period.

    Of special note, I think Nick Pagan’s blog is one of the under-the-radar blogs, one that’s extremely well written but not well known. Same goes for Wise Bread.

    One thats new to me, but I like it so far, is the daily saint.

    One I’d add one the list is http://www.YangTown.com – which is a pretty deep self development blog for men.

    Anyway, thanks again!

  • James @ Organize IT says on July 16th, 2008 at 10:20 am

    Thanks for including Organize IT on the list, much appreciated. There are loads of great links there. If you are interested, I maintain a similar list of my own. I’ll be adding some of these new finds to it.

  • seb says on July 16th, 2008 at 10:41 am

    An OPML of all this blogs would be great :)

  • Brian G says on July 16th, 2008 at 10:54 am

    Great list. One that I found recently that is similar is Encouraging Greatness, http://www.jeffruley.com. Talks about how to improve yourself in work and life. Worth a read.

  • Mark says on July 16th, 2008 at 11:14 am

    What’s the Next Action closed in February, according to them.

  • DaPocket says on July 16th, 2008 at 11:29 am

    One I’m reading right now is Lesson In Life. I really enjoyed that one

    Thanks for the list.. will check them out

  • Dustin Wax says on July 16th, 2008 at 11:43 am

    seb: I think that’s a great idea. I can’t do it myself (busy!) but if anyone can create an OPML from this list, I’ll be happy to add it to the post so anyone can subscribe to all these sites in one go in their RSS readers.

  • Jay Szoke says on July 16th, 2008 at 11:55 am

    If you want a “different” look at GTD and productivity, and something that’s kind of a parody as well, check out Effing The Dog (or EffTD for short, pronounced FTD) at http://www.effingthedog.com. The writer/satirist, Mike Vardy, promotes “Eventualism” and “Getting Things Done…Eventually.” A fun read.

  • Dustin Wax says on July 16th, 2008 at 11:59 am

    Actually, I went ahead and imported the sites into NewsGator, let it autodetect the RSS feeds, and made hte OPML public, so you can get it from http://services.newsgator.com/.....#038;mid=1

    On another note, I’ve been collecting these sites since the beginning of the year, and some of them haven’t updated in a while. Since they’re in my RSS reader, I don’t really see that I haven’t heard from this blog or that in a while. But the sites are still online, and maybe a little attention will get the bloggers back into their blogs. In any case, there’s tons of useful information on these sites!

  • kainr2 says on July 16th, 2008 at 12:50 pm

    I am trying to be mean, but… honest to god, I don’t see how reading 50 blogs will help with productivity.

    Keep it down to less than 5 is goods. Reading too many blog just waste more time than increase productivity. Beside, they tend to overlap anyway.

  • Lee says on July 16th, 2008 at 1:20 pm

    People always seem to forget http://bmindful.com/

  • Brendan O'Rourke says on July 16th, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    Here’s a nice and detailed productivity blog by the author of a book called ‘Do it Tomorrow’

    http://www.markforster.net/blog/

    Best Regards,
    Brendan

  • Dustin Wax says on July 16th, 2008 at 1:40 pm

    kainr2: So don’t read 50. Just read 5. But *which* 5 will you read?

  • Summy says on July 16th, 2008 at 1:50 pm

    Actually there’s one more that you forgot to mention (because you probably never heard of it). My blog:
    Success Making Machine- Life is about more than productivity- it’s about success.
    http://www.successmakingmachine.com

  • Jan Onesork says on July 16th, 2008 at 2:00 pm

    I would much more appreciate shorter list of blogs – something like TOP10. I don’t have time to follow all of them or I don’t know which are worth to follow.

  • Dustin Wax says on July 16th, 2008 at 2:10 pm

    Jan: All of these are worthwhile to follow or I wouldn’t have listed them. Part of my job includes paying attention to what’s going on around the productivity web, so I see a lot more than just 65 productivity sites — these are the ones I think have the most to offer.

    But not all of them have the most to offer to *everyone*. For example, I don’t care for the “spiritual journey” stuff, the “unleash your potential and succeed” approach — so I don’t follow those sites, even when I recognize something useful for me in one or two posts. Other people might find some of these sites too business-oriented, or too oriented towards the needs of creative people. And then there’s tone — I like the personal, “this is how I did it” stuff — you might prefer the voice of authority.

    As I told kainr2 — you have to pick the ones that make most sense to you. I can screen for quality, but I can’t screen for taste.

  • Eric Blue says on July 16th, 2008 at 3:03 pm

    Dustin,

    Thanks for the list! I was only aware of a handful of these sites. Also, thank you for the .opml file.

  • Ann at One Bag Nation says on July 16th, 2008 at 3:12 pm

    Thank you Dustin! You are very kind to include me in this list. I’m totally flattered!

    I’m looking forward to checking out some of the others on your list that I don’t recognize.

    Thanks again – Ann.

  • Ann at One Bag Nation says on July 16th, 2008 at 3:33 pm

    OK, so I’m still processing appearing on a list with the likes of 43 Folders, Zen Habits and Lifehacker. They were my inspiration . . . WOW!

  • Tammy Lenski says on July 16th, 2008 at 3:33 pm

    Thanks for including my blog in such a terrific list…I’m flattered and humbled at the same time!

    There are several here that are favorites of mine and some brand new, so it’ll be good to explore them.

  • Martin Wildam says on July 16th, 2008 at 4:37 pm

    Here is another one: http://www.avani-mehta.com/

    Thanks for the list – maybe there will be a follow up “101 blogs”. ;-)

    BTW: I do not agree to others preferring a top 10 list. Certainly I will not read all those blogs but according to ones special interests 50 people will choose a different set of maybe 3 or 5 blogs that fit their need.

    BTW: I read blogs in the past that turned worse or inactive. In such cases it is good to have alternatives to look at.

  • Supernetuser says on July 16th, 2008 at 4:45 pm

    I liked this list of links but the link to the Design Your Writing Life blog is broken. I really want to see that one in particular.

  • Mandy says on July 16th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    It appears that the link to “Design Your Writing Life” is not correct…

  • Ibrahim Husain | ZenCollegeLife.com says on July 16th, 2008 at 6:07 pm

    Great List. I write for zencollegelife.com, a blog dedicated to optimizing college life. Check it out, it’s definitely worth a read.

  • Adam Sicinski says on July 16th, 2008 at 6:46 pm

    This is a fantastic list of productivity blogs, most of which I am a subscriber of. I would like to add another productivity blog to the list if I could. This blog is built around the concept of Life Coaching and Accelerated Learning principles. Every article post is presented as an in-depth discussion about the topic and featured within a Mind Map that is available as a free download from the site.

    Here is the link – http://www.studymatrixart.com/blog

  • Sara at On Simplicity says on July 16th, 2008 at 8:12 pm

    Thanks for such a comprehensive list–I’ve been trying to seek out other simplicity blogs and this is a huge help. I’m at OnSimplicity.net.

  • Wendy says on July 16th, 2008 at 8:43 pm

    Thanks for gathering that list us!

  • David McCarthy says on July 16th, 2008 at 9:07 pm

    It is really great to find a blog that focuses on getting things done. This ties in with what I am trying to do online.

    Great blog I’m now a confirmed reader.

  • Vern at AimforAwesome says on July 16th, 2008 at 9:24 pm

    Excellent list but you forgot one – me! I’m new, but I have 110 posts centered around personal development and the reality of life… philosophy of life… Aim for Awesome. I’m an American living in Thailand, making my way back to Hawaii before long. Stop by if you get a chance – at least look for 2 minutes and see if there’s anything you can use. Best of life! Vern

  • Anon says on July 16th, 2008 at 9:56 pm

    For Christians looking for God Hacks, here is a blog you cant pass off…

    http://godhacks.blogspot.com

  • Welcome to Paradise says on July 16th, 2008 at 11:33 pm

    As Jan Onesork also said, the list is too many. Just a suggestion, as to 10 or 20 would be awesome or a part I and part II would also be great.

    Nevertheless, very good list of blog sites.

  • Dustin Wax says on July 17th, 2008 at 1:46 am

    Ann: Merlin Mann was my inspiration, too; it was on his site that i first learned about GTD, which led (through twists and turns) to joining Lifehack.

    All: I updated the link for “Design Your Writing Life”. I knew Lisa had stopped blogging there, but hadn’t realized she’d closed up shop completely. I replaced the link with her new site, a group blog at 360 Alliance.

  • Steve Roesler says on July 17th, 2008 at 2:00 am

    Dustin, thanks so much for the inclusion…and the 49 other blogs to read.

    It’s especially meaningful since Lifehack has been in my RSS reader for a long time now and is a must read.

    You all provide useful help to the community every day.

  • Michael (Productive Magazine) says on July 17th, 2008 at 5:08 am

    Dustin, you might be interested in the “Productive Magazine” we’ll be publishing on August 1st with best articles chosen from the best productivity blogs – I’ve invited lots of productivity bloggers and I’m still accepting more invites so if any of the productivity bloggers wish to participate, please go to our web site for details.

    Great job with the list, Dustin!

  • Marisa says on July 17th, 2008 at 8:12 am

    How about Chief Happiness Officer?
    It’s at: http://positivesharing.com/

  • thanh says on July 17th, 2008 at 8:36 am

    This is a productivity website. To go over 50 of them isn’t exactly productive.

  • Jared Goralnick says on July 17th, 2008 at 9:52 am

    Thanks for the inclusion, Dustin! You’ve listed some great resources here that I wasn’t aware of!

  • LiviuX says on July 17th, 2008 at 11:39 am

    Hey, they are more than 50 :)

  • Aileen says on July 17th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    I pick and choose the ones that look interesting and I often get little things from each.

    I just started a new blog on personal productivity and achieving your goals even when you have too much other stuff going on in your life at http://www.aileenjourney.com/SneakUpDreams

  • Dereks says on July 18th, 2008 at 4:11 am

    Actually I did hear about half of them, even though I’m not that much into productivity stuff.
    Linking to Zen Habits… common???

  • Lisa Gates says on July 18th, 2008 at 1:23 pm

    Dustin, thanks for the list and including me in it. Sorry about the trouble finding Design YOur Writing Life archives. Gone…

    It’s a powerful community of folks to be connected to.

    Hi there! Fabulous list, thanks. BNet recently launched a productivity, teamwork and collaboration blog called Team Taskmaster (blogs.bnet.com/teamwork). I’m helming it, so in a shameless spot of self-promotion, I encourage you to check it out. Hopefully your readers will find it useful!

  • Charlie Gilkey | Productive Flourishing says on July 20th, 2008 at 12:40 pm

    I suppose it’s bad form to include one’s own blog…but I’ll do it anyway.Productive Flourishing joins productivity and flourishing to move beyond hacking life and towards living it – I also produce free planners and aids to help bring order to what can be an otherwise chaotic and overloaded life.

    I think you may also want to check out . Andre presents very insightful and thorough information, fusing GTD paradigms with others. It’s really a great blog for higher order thinking about productivity.

    Lastly, Duff has some great interviews and thinking about personal development and productivity at . He even has interviews with David Allen – whoa! – not to mention some of the authors of the blogs already on your list.

    Maybe I’ll make the cut next year? We’ll see.

    Hey Dustin – thanks a bunch for the honor. I’m in great company. Speaking of good company, I noticed that you and I are listed as contributors to Tatsuya’s “Overcoming Inventoritis” book, along (with others on this list) Steve Wozniak, Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki. I’m thinking of having a get-together ;-)

    For years I’ve been using a little single page paper planner. It has been the single most important item I have to boost productivity. It is very handy and I carry it everywhere. I’ve created:

    Chinese version
    8.5 x 11 sizes
    A4 sizes
    A Variety of backs

    for others and they each love them.

    Check it out here.

    I know 50 is quite a number for some but I would still prefer this list growing. I never knew these many sites and now I can come back here again. Great work keep it up.

    Hi,

    I know most of them, it’s a great list.

    I’ve also started a blog on productivity a couple of month ago (http://productivebydesign.free.fr) and I hope to be on such a list in the future.
