TheSlackerMethod.com Featured With Top 100 Productivity Blogs
Posted by Jacques - February 6, 2009Well some of you may know that Chinese New Year’s just passed. On their astrological calendar, I would be an Ox, and this is the year of the Ox, so hopefully, this is a good year for me and for the blog.
Things are looking up but just wanted to share with you a post that features our website along with 99 other productivity blogs. Some of my favorite blogs are listed there like Zen Habits and Lifehacker. There seems to be a trend where Lifehacker and Zen Habits are mentioned, I get a mention too! Guilty by association. =)
Breaking News! The Slacker Method is Popular, like Lifehacker!
Posted by Jacques - February 2, 2009Once in a while I come across something that makes me feel good inside, like the world is right. It’s no secret that I’ve been working hard to write quality content, build my subscriber base, and connect to the world. According to one blogger, The Slacker Method is a popular blog, like Zen Habits and Lifehacker.
Awesome.
It’s not exactly universal knowledge. It’s “a posteriori”, meaning, to some people this may be true, but it is not a universal fact that my blog is popular. Either way, I’m happy that to someone, the words I write and the ideas I share have meaning.
Life Changing Authors Meet and Free Book Giveaway
Posted by Jacques - January 16, 2009
1/19/09 The winners have been announced.
This month, two authors that have had the greatest influence on my life met together and discussed their basic philosophies. It is a pleasure and a treat for me to be able to witness them interact with each other as I have learned so much from both of them. Earlier in January, Tim Ferris author of The Four Hour Work Week blog interviewed Leo, and then just yesterday, Leo interviewed Tim Ferris and posted the audio on his blog Zen Habits. Again, this was a treat for me, and I was excited to see them recognize each other for their great contributions. Leo for showing us how wonderful it is to live our lives simply, and Tim for how much we can accomplish if we focus and streamline.
Today, I am offering their books, The Power of Less (Hardcover) by Leo Babauta and The 4 Hour Work Week (Hardcover) by Tim Ferris. Also another author that has inspired me to do more with my money is Suze Orman. I will be giving away her book too, The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke. These books will absolutely change your life.

Merry Christmas and some gifts from Zen Habits
Posted by Jacques - December 25, 2008Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays to everyone!
Times are difficult this year, and if you’ve survived Christmas without bankrupting your finances and your emotions, you are one of the lucky few. For those of you who are struggling, Leo Babauta has decided to give out his free ebook called Thriving on Less. It is especially relevant and much appreciated that he is willing to present his work at this time. His gift for us this Christmas, is to show us that debt, bling, and material possessions are dated, and that there really is life after “things”.
For those of you who don’t know, Leo is the author of Zen Habits, one of my favorite blogs on productivity, self improvement, and spirituality (in a sense). I have pre-ordered his new book called The Power of Less and highly recommend everyone check it out.
Take Care!
