Optimistic Life — Tips to Help You with Positive Living 50+ Personal Productivity Blogs You've Never Heard of Before (and about a dozen you probably have) The personal productivity niche on the Web has grown by leaps and bounds since Lifehack launched only a few years ago.

7 Ways to Be More Interesting Than You Ever Thought Possible Since I’ve arrived at my school in Morocco, I’ve had the opportunity to meet a wide range of people. Because it is an American school, the faculty is primarily composed of Americans, but there are still a lot of countries represented through many of the teachers and students. This means there are a lot of differing viewpoints and personalities to interact with.
