productivity blogs you read

Who do you read to inspire you to grow as a person?

Here's a short list of some of my favorite productivity and personal devel blogs:

Steve Pavlina -- the granddaddy, the guy who got me started thinking about personal development.
Zen Habits -- love love love the bullet pointed tips format, and there is always something new on the homepage. Good for a quick helpful read any day, every day.
Lifehacker -- always good for the latest hack or web app. Ironically, LH provides more distractions than anything for me.
Steve Olson -- if I'm in the mood for a long, thought-provoking article, Steve O. is a good source.

Dumb Little Man -- because it is the perfect title for my life.

Ask Metafilter. Because 10,000 programming nerds can't be wrong.

Lifehack.org and 4 Hour Work Week are great resources.

I love Zen Habits and Lifehack.org as well. LifeHacker is about 50% useful for me.

I also advocate Cal Newport's blog for academic productivity, Study Hacks. It's been extremely helpful for me this past semester!

In addition to Steve Pavlina, Lihack.org, Lifehacker, and Zen Habits, here are some of my other favorites:

Self Improvement Blog - BrianKim.net
Personal Growth and Effectiveness at Life Optimizer
Personal Development with The Positivity Blog

Liferemix.net is a mashup of the best personal development sites out there, including Wise Bread!

I'll read articles my friends forward me but I don't go to one place all the time.

Steve Pavlina gets forwarded around my circle of friends a lot.

43 folders, Lifehack.org, 4 Hour Work Week , ZenHabits are my inspiration.
I love Zenhabits the most
And strangely ennough, I also like "slow Down Now" - got to slow down first to be productive!

Great links everybody!

I can't believe I forgot to mention DLM. That site is always a good, interesting read.

Based on the multiple recommendations, I've also added lifehack.org to my feed list.
