Who do you read? And how do you keep up?
I’m going to put a list of useful blogs here (a blog roll) so I’m asking: who do you read? What blogs do you find useful as a self-employed woman? Comment here and let me know.
I know many of us feel too busy to cruise the internet for information. For me, I’ve actually had to schedule reading time. I need to stay connected and current, but if I don’t schedule it, it doesn’t happen. Often I’ll print out articles and put in a “to read” file that goes in my bag. Yesterday at my son’s swimming lessons, I pulled out this file. But I like to comment on blogs too, so I schedule computer reading time where I take my computer to a coffee shop. (I call it the Blog Shop.) I’d rather be reading books, but then I feel I’m falling behind in the world of the internet. Arg! And when I hear about all the social networking on the internet, my head spins. I’m alreay behind and I haven’t really started. And I keep wondering—with everyone writing, who is doing all the reading? What is your method? How do you keep up on your reading?

I subscribe to a couple of blogs that I love via FeedBlitz so I get their feeds on a daily basis. Among my favorites are:
1) WonderBranding: Marketing to Women. Michele Miller always offer fabulous food for thought and her new book, “The Soccer Mom Myth”, is really terrific.
2) I have also started reading Pam Slim’s Escape from Cubicle Nation which shares perfectly tempting ideas for all those yearning to flee corporate America and great insight for those that already have.
3) I love Roger Von Oech’s Creative Think blog. Von Oech is brilliant when it comes to getting you past writer’s block or offering a fresh perspective on an old or common situation. Always very clever and fresh.
