Smart Ideas for a smart December

As you probably remember, Ubuntulook hosted a nice interview with Chris Guillebeau last week. If you missed it, you can immediately check it now before letting you inspire by some different ideas and articles. I’ve been thinking about the life designer mentality I’ve been talking about at Millionclues, in a guest post I wrote. It is important to create a consciousness about change: changing is possible, even if it is not easy. So, while proposing you links to the most interesting and inspiring articles I’ve read during the last few weeks, I will also write about the goals I’ve accomplished during this wonderful 2010, eventually giving you tips on how to optimally calibrate your focus towards their achievement, also during the 2011. This week’s ideas are the following:

 Stay up to date, the positive way

“Worldwide good news”, only publishes useful, good and overall positive news to keep you up to date with the world (and to keep you smiling through the day!)

 Get Inspired

One of the latest posts by Leo Babauta, on his Zen Habits, Get Inspired. For those users who are in a constant struggle with their creative self, this is for you!

 Downsize your digital life some more!

If simplifying your digital life is what you’re still looking for, this wonderful article on Becomingminimalist is what you were expecting to read! You can also find valuable guides and articles on how to Downsize your digital life here at Ubuntulook. Plus, if you want to put your netbook to good use, you can check my guide about Simplifying your digital life with a netbook

Challenge Yourself

If challenging yourself is what you’re looking for, you could enjoy the idea of joining the Zen Habits forum, where you can participate to monthly challenges! There, you will find nice people and inspiration! I have been personally challenging myself with bodybuilding for the last 2 years.

 Get more out of your Christmas time!

I’ve also read interesting articles about Christmas, especially the ones written by Leo Babauta and Everett Bogue, who also wrote an interesting article about Destroying our Past Lives I really suggest you to read. You will find so much inspiration is such nice and realistic words.
