Start your week right! Every Sunday I post my favorite links from around the web and share my goals for the upcoming week.
Before we get to the links this week, reminder: Google Reader is going away TOMORROW. If you haven’t already, here are some steps you can take to ensure a seamless transition to whatever RSS service you select:
- Export the blogs you follow through Google Takeout
- Check out my updated comprehensive guide on how to switch over to Feedly.
- Consider using an alternative site like The Old Reader (I’m currently switching between Feedly and The Old Reader…love them both!)
Here’s how you can stay in touch with me and this blog throughout the transition:
- Subscribe to my blog via email. You’ll get new posts emailed to you when they are published.
- Add this link to whatever new RSS service you select: http://feeds.feedburner.com/jessicalawlor
- Subscribe to my #GetGutsy e-newsletter. It hits your inbox twice a month with exclusive content not found on the blog filled with tips, ideas and action items to get out of your comfort zone.
- Follow my blog with Bloglovin
- Follow me on Twitter– I share all of my new posts there regularly
