Raise Your Voice About Poverty - Sign Up for Blog Action Day!

Raise Your Voice About Poverty - Sign Up for Blog Action Day! Posted: 15 Aug 2008 08:11 AM CDT Often the most uncomfortable things in this world don't get talked about, even if they're among the most important things in this world, simply because we don't like to talk about them. Poverty is one of those issues, and oftentimes it goes with little notice, despite its extreme effect on people's lives. On October 15, 2008, if you are a blogger, you have the chance to raise your voice about poverty, and join the voices of thousands and thousands of other bloggers speaking about poverty … on the same day. It's called Blog Action Day — go check it out. Last year, you might recall that I helped FreelanceSwitch's Collis Ta'eed start Blog Action Day, and it was an amazing success. Thousands of bloggers, large and small, united on one day to talk about one issue — the Environment. This year, the Blog Action Day topic is Poverty. If you have a blog, I highly encourage you to go sign up now. We've just launched today, and already there are more than 600 blogs signed up — as of this writing (there will probably be hundreds more by the time you read this). I expect thousands to sign up, representing millions of readers, within the next few weeks. What do you have to do to participate? Do you have to take a pre-determined stance on Poverty? Not at all. All you have to do is blog about Poverty on Oct. 15, 2008 … and do it in any way you like. If you want to talk about the causes of Poverty, feel free to do so. If you want to write about what people can do, or about the history of it, or about how it relates to technology or the environment or simplicity or happiness or business or whatever you like to blog about … please do so. You can write whatever you like … as long as you blog about it on Oct. 15. Already nearly 20 of the Top 100 blogs in the world have signed up, along with hundreds of smaller blogs. Participating blogs (as of this writing) include such major blogs as Lifehacker, Tech Crunch, Mashable, Problogger, Copyblogger, Daily Blog Tips, Smashing Magazine, ReadWriteWeb, GigaOm, Inhabitat.com, PronetAdvertising and more. As you can probably tell I'm super excited about this. This is yet more proof that there is so much good in this world, and despite there being so much suffering, there are people who care, people with compassion, people willing to raise their voices to do good for others.

The Six Key Steps to Healthy Finances in Your Relationship

If you've ever been in a relationship for very long, especially if you were married or living together, I can almost guarantee that you've had a money fight.

One of the biggest causes of problems in relationships is differences in values and goals and habits when it comes to money, and especially communication about money issues.

Money can't buy you love, but it sure can tear it apart.

And while I can't claim that my wife and I are perfect when it comes to money and relationships, I can say that we've come a long way, and we rarely ever have money disagreements anymore. It wasn't always that way, and we've had our share of fights along the way, but we're in a much more solid relationship these days because we learned how to talk about money, and how to align our financial goals.

That's the crux of this post, in two simple steps: learn how to talk about money, and learn to align your financial goals. If you can do those two things, you've done more than most couples, and you've done a lot to keep your relationship on solid ground.

1. Sit down and talk about financial goals and values. Many couples often neglect this step, even if it seems obvious and common-sensical. But because talking about finances can be uncomfortable, they leave these important things unsaid, and often don't even think about it individually. They have goals and values when it comes to money, but they're not examined. That's a mistake, as one person might want to be frugal in order to save for future goals, while the other might like to spend and enjoy things now, while the getting is good. The differences often come from different upbringings, and they can be emotionally charged (see next step for more on this). It doesn't have to be difficult, though. Just tell your partner you'd like to sit down and have a talk about the future — what your goals are and how you can work together, as a team, to achieve them. In the beginning, just start spitting out different things each of you wants — a house, kids, college education for the kids, a healthy emergency fund, nice cars, travel each year, nice clothes, gadgets and computers, etc. Then start to prioritize, and see if you can come up with things in common. If you want different things, it is important that you talk about why, and consider the other person's desires. If that's what makes the other person happy, you should want to make them happy — that's the basis of a good relationship. But relationships aren't one-sided, either, so you should be able to be happy too. The point is that both sides should be considered, and you should look for a win-win solution or compromise so that you can both be happy. It might take a few meetings to get to actual written goals, with a timeframe for each, but that's where you want to be eventually.
2. Remove emotions from financial talk. From your first meetings about financial goals to your subsequent weekly talks (see Step 5), it's important that the two of you stay calm, don't get hurt or angry over any of the issues, and try to look at these issues objectively. Often financial issues are tied up in all kinds of emotional issues, stemming from childhood, from issues of security to feeling like your way is better to feeling hurt if your way of spending is criticized in any way, and much more. These emotional issues are all tangled together with financial issues, and it's important that you untangle them and just deal with financial goals and habits. First, don't use emotional, accusatory, or inflammatory language. Don't blame the other person or even be negatively critical. Simply talk about your financial goals, developing a plan for getting to those goals, developing a system for dealing with finances, and so forth. Also try not to feel like you're under attack if the other person talks about your goals or habits — let this be an open discussion, and if you feel under attack, stop and take a breath and remember that this isn't a discussion about you personally but about how the two of you are going to meet your goals. Again, think of this as a team effort, not as a you-vs-me effort.
3. Come up with a plan to meet your goals. Once you're able to come up with common financial goals (a huge step — celebrate!), you need a plan to get you there. This will take into account your joint income, your debt, your savings, how much you can put towards debt and/or saving each month, whether you want to cut back on certain things in order to meet your savings goals, how long you want to give yourself to meet financial goals, and so forth. Start by having a definite timeframe for each goal, and then figure out how much you need to save (or pay towards debt) each month to get to your goals. Create a spending plan (if you haven't yet) for each month, and see if you can adjust it to meet that monthly goal. You might need to cut back on some things, or earn extra income, or both. Or you might discover that your goals aren't realistic and you need to cut back on them, reprioritize, or push them back a bit in order to meet them. This plan to meet your goals is how you will align your daily and monthly spending with your long-term goals. It's also a great way to resolve minor short-term disputes — you should definitely buy fewer shoes, and I should buy fewer video games, so we can buy that house in three years and travel to Europe in two years.
4. Develop a system for finances that works for both of you. In order to put your financial plan into action, you'll need to figure out how you're going to pay your bills, pay debt, deposit into savings, have money for various spending needs (like gas and groceries and eating out), and so forth. Someone will have to take responsibility for each part of the system (it's better if you're both involved, but you should find what works best for you as a couple). One person might go to the bank while the other updates your financial program (like Quicken or Money) or your checking register to make sure you're in balance, for example.
5. Have weekly financial meetings. This is very important, and it's a step that many couples overlook. Just because you have common financial goals and a plan and a system doesn't mean that everything is fine. If one person takes responsibility for the finances, for example, and the other is out of the loop, then there will likely be problems down the road. I've known several couples like this — one partner took care of the finances and the other was blissfully ignorant … until it was revealed that they were way behind on payments and would soon have to file for bankruptcy. That wasn't a good time in their relationship. To prevent problems like this, have a weekly meeting where you sit down and talk about finances. You can review your accounts, your spending plan, what is coming up in the next few weeks that you'll need to budget for, any problem areas, what to do with your annual bonus, where you are with your goals, and so forth. Make sure you're both caught up on everything, and that you're working well as a team.
6. Above all, stay positive and be honest. Remember: you're a team. You have the same goals and you want each other to be happy. Team members can help each other out and encourage each other, or they can rip the team apart by being negative, by blaming, by working against common goals. If you always stay positive, you'll succeed as a team. Be encouraging, stay focused on solutions not blame, and make sure love is the foundation of everything you do.

Living the Prolific Life: A How-to Guide

Living the Prolific Life: A How-to Guide Editor's note: This is a guest post from Clay Collins of The Growing Life. Pro·lif·ic (\prə-li-fik\) : Marked by abundant inventiveness or productivity. –Merriam Webster Online The prolific life has been characterized by abundant inventiveness and limitless creativity. Prolificacy has also been unnecessarily enshrouded in a veil of mystery and the sources of artistic inventiveness are too often viewed as out-of-reach for the average person. Perhaps it's for this reason that artistic inspiration has frequently been attributed to muses, the channeling of spirits, beelzebub, etc. In spite of perceptions surrounding prolific creativity, there are several documented commonalities that consistently appear in the lives of prolific people. Indeed, the psychological literature has some definite insights into commonalities of the prolific. My investigation into this literature has yielded these . . . 7 Common Characteristics of Prolific People Highly prolific people tend to: Be firmly settled in their creative identities. Prolific artists don't question their artistic identities. They own the title of artist, writer, musician, etc. This might seem like a no-brainer, but it's important. Prolific people aren't shy about what they do, or about their love of art. When they have corporate jobs they tend to view themselves as writers with desk jobs rather than a corporate employees who also write. Operate from a bedrock of stability. Despite the stereotypical image of the mercurial and whimsical artist, most highly prolific people have managed to pin down a lot of variables in their life; they aren't constantly rearranging the logistics of life and reconfiguring their life situations. As a result, they can bring their full attention to bear upon the creation process. Get "adopted" early by mentors or sponsors. Prolific artists tend of have received significant artistic mentorships at the beginning of their creative careers. Get an early start: Prolific artists tend of have developed the rapid production habit early in their careers. They tend to have developed the production habit very shortly after beginning their artistic endeavors. Be well adjusted. Prolific people tend to be sensitive, confident, open-minded, curious, intellectually flexible, willing to work very hard, and have a sense of humor. Have a habit of writing. Highly prolific people tend to work even when they're not inspired. They've developed the production habit. Intrinsic interest. Prolific people are intrinsically motivated, almost without exception. They love their work and, in general, would do it (in some form or another) even if it paid much less or not at all. [Note: Not all of these characteristics are present among all prolific people. These characteristics simply appear at a high frequency among prolific persons]. With these characteristics in mind, here are some tips for developing a prolific life: Ruthlessly guard your mind. Prolific people often purposefully take on mindless jobs because it allows them to devote their thoughts entirely to art. Prolific people own their own minds, and they're often found stocking shelves or parking cars, but all the while scribbling down notes during every free moment. They manage to engineer situations that allow their minds to be constantly creative even when they're not actively producing art. (People who engage in cognitively taxing jobs are often too mentally exhausted at the end of the day to be creative). Unabashedly take on your artistic identity. As Leo said in an earlier post, don't be afraid to call yourself an artist. Can you imagine a prolific artist who's afraid to claim an artistic identity? I can't. Don't be timid about telling yourself and others what you do. If you create art, then you're an artist. The dedication and seriousness required to consistently produce inspired art requires a singularity of purpose that can't be present unless you've come to own your own creativity. Realize the gestation period of creative ideas. Prolific people might be producing at regular intervals, but the gestation period for their "products" is often long. You must be giving birth to a steady stream of new ideas in order for those ideas to bear fruit in a year or two down the road. Realize that prolific people don't always have a shortened creative cycle; they often just have more creative cycles going on simultaneously. Keep your creative inertia going. Do whatever it takes to make sure that your creative inertia doesn't die. Require small outputs from yourself on a frequent basis and make artistic production a habit. Once you've strengthened this habit the floodgates of creativity are likely to open. One prolific writer I know has a timer that goes off every 40 minutes; with each alarm he writes down an idea. Create stability where it counts. If you're moving all the time and changing your life situation, the single-minded focus required for prolific output can be hard to obtain. Take care of as many external variables as possible in order to allow you to focus on your art. Attend to your mental and physical health. While there are some very visible cases of clinically insane but nevertheless prolific people, these people are the exception rather than the rule. Less stress = greater prolificacy. Get adopted by a mentor. Leverage any and all angles or opportunities available to find a mentor who's done what you want to do. If you want to be a bestselling non-fiction author then don't talk to the convenience store clerk, talk to a bestselling non-fiction author.
