In keeping with a request for information about my favorite blogs, here are three more that I keep in my Feedly stream and try to read regularly.
Barking Up the Wrong Tree: How to be awesome at life.
Eric Barker writes for Wired magazine, and he also publishes a blog that’s all about how we can use the science of human behavior to improve our lives at work and at home. Here are a few of his most popular posts:

They offer simple, practical advice. Some examples:

Storyline Blog: Create Your Life Plan Online
I don’t remember how I found them, but I ended up reading a couple of Donald Miller’s Books, which are written in such an accessible style that I really enjoyed them. He also has a blog (although he isn’t the only one who writes posts), and a company that assists people to make plans for their lives: to turn their lives into a better story. I use (part of) his One Project-Two Project-Three Project idea for structuring my day. Here are a few posts from his blog:
