We all have the tendency to make things far too complicated. We allow ourselves to get frustrated when we really don’t need to stress about it. Kicking off this week’s speedlink, Marc Chernoff lists 18 ways that you are making your life harder than it needs to be. Stop looking to others for answers that you can only give yourself, don’t let toxic people get the best of you, and quit being so competitive with everyone around you. Give more and take less. And don’t expect your life to be springing up rainbows and unicorns all the time.
On this blog, we’ve discussed the trials and tribulations of working from home at some length. Over on Techvibes, they’re exploring an exact opposite phenomenon known as “homing from work.” People still commute to their regular offices, but they are allowed to conduct more “life” activities from that office, like online shopping or enjoying some random YouTube videos.

The Internet has been both a blessing and a curse. It has lowered the barrier to entry for those of us who want to get read, but this also means getting noticed among the crowd is that much tougher. As Nick Chowdrey points out, one of the best things you can do for your site’s search engine optimization (SEO) is to get on Google News. This naturally depends on the kind of site that you run. You’ll want to be extra careful not only about quality of content, but also about some of the technical requirements from Google to get listed.
And on the topic of getting noticed, Neil Patel has been working on the Internet for almost his whole life. He knows a thing or two about being successful, so when he talks about how you can get the most out of your guest posts on other blogs, we should all be paying attention. It’s not about necessarily improving your SEO or trying to land a spot on the blog with the biggest readership. Instead, you should be seeking authentic engagement and interaction with relevant readers.
They say there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. Buzz Bishop and his sons had to experience the latter recently with the death of their betta. Trying to explain death to young children is never an easy task. When Zacharie asked if he could simply get another fish, you feel proud that he can “move on,” but you also want to make sure he understands the mourning process. Losing a living animal is not the same as losing an inanimate object like a plastic toy.
