Looking for some extra blogging inspiration?

TOP READ: Gamify Your Productivity: The Ultimate Geek Guide to Getting Stuff Done, Ryan McRae, Productive Flourishing

This fun post from Ryan McRae has some great suggestions on how to “gamify” your work life: essentially, there’s lots of solid productivity advice here, with a geeky RPG angle to appeal to those who geek out over things other than productivity tips.

Hope you enjoy these posts as much as I did! Make sure you’re on the newsletter list so you don’t miss out on my future roundups (and my regular posts too).
