So, I just realized that both of the last two posts had to do with telephones and telephone calls. Completely unintentional on my part, and actually rather funny. The other thing I realized today is that I have been doing a lot of web reading lately on very few topics. Obviously, this would be because I have more than a passing interest in said topics. Now, I also seem to go through “phases” of interest in something, which means that I might not be interested in these topics in, say, a month, but for right now they are occupying at least some small part of my interest. Here is a list of my top five (or at least, the five I can think of first), plus some links just in case YOU happen to have an interest in these areas too:

1. Air transport– airline companies as a whole, what they are doing right, what they are doing wrong, customer service, airport/airplane/baggage experiences, “confessions of…”, etc.
- AOL Air Travel
- CBC: What Airlines are Doing Wrong

2. Related topic to the above: Smart packing for trips– the ‘one bag’ movement, how to pack smartly, how not to pack, what to take, what to buy at your destination, good bags, smart travelling.
- The Travelite FAQ
- OneBag

3. Decluttering and simplifying– clutter and Stuff, but life as well.
     – Unclutterer
     - Simply Stated: Blog
     - Frugal Babe
     - mnmlist

4. Personal Development– relationships, perspectives, healthy mindsets, healthy eating, exercise, viewpoints, advice, tips, etc.
      – The Happiness Project
      - Zen Habits
      - Tiny Buddha
      - Urban Monk

5. Personal Finance– On saving, and saving wisely (and getting rid of debt, loans, bad credit, etc). Also budgeting.
     - Get Rich Slowly
     – Dave Ramsey (author of The Total Money Makeover)
     - The Simple Dollar

I’ll add more links as I come across them. (This post has also struck me as a great jumping point for organizing a long list of links on Evernote. Maybe I’ll do this later). Other things I have been reading about: entrepreneurship, design, effective charities, and DIY crafts.
