For tech/dev stuff, I really like https://increment.com/

I have to be honest I don't read many blogs (I know that must sound shocking coming from me haha), any you can recommend, Mónica Freitas.

Mónica FreitasJan 6, 2022, 2:24 PM

Teri Eyenike, loved the first one. I immediately got tech from the design. How does he mix tech and travel? Can you share one of your favorite articles?

Mónica FreitasJan 6, 2022, 2:27 PM

Abeer, this one is organized by topics, very useful. I saw that there is a focus on programming and financial planning. Is there an article you've found really useful and that you'd like to share?

Mónica FreitasJan 6, 2022, 2:27 PM

Jack Boreham, how could you, content writer?! Let me make you a list.

Mónica FreitasJan 6, 2022, 2:30 PM

Hubspot is great for topics like web design, marketing, content management, sales and business in general: https://blog.hubspot.com/

Mónica FreitasJan 6, 2022, 2:31 PM

For travel tips, I usually rely on Nomadic Matt: https://www.nomadicmatt.com/

Mónica FreitasJan 6, 2022, 2:34 PM

Inc. is a great resource to keep updated on tech, business and social media trends: https://www.inc.com/technology

Mónica FreitasJan 6, 2022, 2:36 PM

PopMatters is great to get info on movies, music, books, etc.: https://www.popmatters.com/

Mónica FreitasJan 6, 2022, 2:39 PM

Gaming-wise, I'd suggest Polygon or The Guardian (not a blog but a good resource): https://www.polygon.com/

Mónica FreitasJan 6, 2022, 2:39 PM

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog

Jack BorehamJan 6, 2022, 5:25 PM

Mónica Freitas, hahaha, thank you. So what do you look for in a blog?

Sara PintoJan 7, 2022, 11:21 AM

Mónica Freitas, I usually don't follow blogs, but I like one about organization and study. I'm a sucker for planners, so this does it for me haha. But I have to say it's way easier to follow the other social accounts to get the information instead of following blogs.

Mónica FreitasJan 7, 2022, 12:22 PM

Jack Boreham, I'm a sucker for aesthetics, so one that appeals to me visually, immediately drags me in. Then, the content: is it clear and well written? Is it useful? If so, you've got a new fan.

Mónica FreitasJan 7, 2022, 12:23 PM

Sara Pinto, can you share that one blog you follow? I'm a bit of a procrastinator, so that would be helpful 😂

Sara PintoJan 10, 2022, 4:18 PM

Mónica Freitas, oh, I forgot to add the link haha. Here it is: https://emmastudies.com/

Sara PintoJan 10, 2022, 4:18 PM

Mónica Freitas, they have free planners of all kinds and shapes, free calendars, and even good tips on how to be productive!

Mónica FreitasJan 10, 2022, 5:55 PM

Sara Pinto, I like that they have a printable section. It makes it easier to navigate. Have you ever used any of their templates?

Sara PintoJan 11, 2022, 10:23 AM

Mónica Freitas, so far, only the calendars and I read all their posts. But I haven't had the chance to use one of the planners yet.

Mónica FreitasJan 11, 2022, 10:43 AM

Sara Pinto, do you find the blog layout confusing? I was checking it, but it was hard to find the "really important" posts that aren't just answering other people's comments.

Sara PintoJan 17, 2022, 11:47 AM

Mónica Freitas, I usually don't have an issue since I follow it on other platforms, and the creator shares the direct link. But if you click on "my posts" it might be easier.

Mónica FreitasJan 17, 2022, 12:10 PM

Sara Pinto, thanks for the tip!
