I did an Amazon search for the word “productivity” and got back over 46,000 book results. Amazing… thousands of books on the very same topic and nearly all of them written by American authors in the ...
Last week I spent 70 bucks on 2 pairs of jeans at Banana Republic. I really like the jeans and the price was more than I usually spend, but nothing I’m worried about. In fact, the price is irrelevant...
A blog is just a simple way to share updates about your life. That’s what I love about it. When I write on my blog, it doesn’t have to be profound or earth-shattering or worthy of a Pulitzer prize – ...
Love wins. _
I love blogging. Blogging doesn’t have to be stressful or complicated or even time-consuming. You can make it as simple and enjoyable as you like. I know when I first started blogging I was caught up...
Its strange that we spend our entire lives in the present and so little time thinking about those minutes and hours as they pass. Seldom a moment slips when our minds aren’t busy planning, worrying, ...
My wife and I are finally settled into our new apartment, and we’re loving every minute together. I can’t believe that after all those months and months of waiting I am finally married to my best fri...
I enjoy the minimalist lifestyle. It works for me. I’m the kind of guy who thrives in a clutter-free, values-driven, human-scaled environment. Anything else stresses me out. I hate bloated software t...
One thing I’ve been noticing lately is how common it is for people (myself included) to label themselves by what they do or think or believe. It’s a very common practice, and it has been for some tim...
For the first time in history, people are facing the problem of having too much. Instead of asking “Where will our next meal come from?” we’re asking, “How can we keep ourselv...
What is a self-made man? In my opinion, it is a myth. It is a myth that has existed for too long, and caused far more harm than good. It is a belief that is not consistent with reality and caused man...
The book of Ecclesiastes is a sad (yet hopeful) narrative about the meaning of life. It records the inner dialogue of a man in a desperate, frenzied search for something worth living for. I fought ba...
For some reason, I’ve been drawn to social media and I haven’t quite pinned down why. Online relationships gravitate towards quantity, not quality, and they easily distract from the depth...
Everyone I know is looking for quick solutions. How to grow a blog audience overnight. How to graduate from college a semester — or even a whole year early. How to lose weight fast. I met a gu...
My dad is a realtor. If you type his name into Google you will not find a website or a blog that he runs. His name might show up a few times—but that is merely a coincidence. After almost 5 years in ...
You will find a curious thread that runs through all creative minds: they don’t think they’re doing anything special. They are merely going about their business fixing the obvious problems and doing ...
I am realizing that there are two types of people in the world: people who do things and people who think about doing things. I’ve come to the self-realization that I am the latter. There is nothing ...
On the internet, we are all looking for something. When I first started blogging seriously about 6 months ago, I wanted to earn a full-time income online. I also wanted a sense that I was in control ...
In just 6 weeks I’ll be a college graduate… 12 weeks and I’ll be married… another 200 and I might be expecting my first child. These are soul-stirring times in a young man’s life. There i...
Dear Fellow Humans, The world we live in is getting noisier and noisier. From technology to advertisements, from choices to information – we have more being thrown our way then ever before. I k...
What if we could unlearn everything? What if we could erase our memories (except for core relationships) and start over? You’d do things differently this time, wouldn’t you? I know I woul...
For most of us, paring down our belongings is an exciting idea. Like a new fitness membership in January – it’s full of promise and possibility. But in reality, there are many obstacles we must overc...
There was once a stone cutter who was dissatisfied with himself and with his position in life. One day he passed a wealthy merchant’s house. Through the open gateway, he saw many fine possessio...
So the big day is almost here! In one week I’ll be launching my first eBook, Rising Above the Noise. I’m looking for someone who knows how to do ebook design. Nothing fancy—just a clean, sharp-lookin...

Written by Mike Donghia | Follow me on Twitter or Facebook You wanna know my greatest flaw? It keeps me up at night when I’m trying to sleep. It gnaws at me every single hour I’m awake and keeps me f...
Written by Mike Donghia | February 15, 2011 | Follow me on Twitter Recently, I got an email from Karol Gajda. He’s an interesting fellow, so his email escaped my trigger happy delete finger. When I ...
Let’s say you’re a small business owner (or niche blogger) and your website is averaging 10 hits a week. And your Twitter account has 23 followers. That hardly counts as social media, right? It’s mor...
I’ve been thinking long and hard about what it takes to be happy in this day and age. With a million blogs out there on personal development, goal-setting, productivity and achieving your dream...
Like a nutritious food diet, a mental diet should be balanced and full of hearty goodness. Over consuming is wasteful and leaves you bloated and sloth-like. Have you ever stuffed yourself at an all- ...
