Why I Love “Dumb Little Man”
December 15, 2009 by Alexis
A couple weeks ago, Amber Naslund (@ambercadabra) asked her followers what their favorite non-social media blogs were. So, I went to my Google Reader to see what I could come up with.
I couldn’t make a final decision after about 15 minutes, so I sent Amber Serious Eats (@seriouseats). It’s a blog I read religiously – even on weekends – so I figured it fit the bill. Looking back, however, I should have sent her a link to Dumb Little Man.
It’s hard to sum up what Dumb Little Man’s purpose is. Its tagline is “Tips for Life.” Its subject matter covers all manner of topics, from “How to say no to great opportunities,” to “How to use a colon.” Most helpful to me, however, are the articles about personal and professional development. These posts serve as an attitude check, often helping me take a step back from my busy days and look at the big picture.
Some of my recent favorites include “How to discover your life’s purpose – 7 questions to ask,” and “You’re not small, you’re just human (and so are the gurus)”.
Share some of your favorite blogs in the comments. I’m always looking for new stuff to read!
