The Simple Dollar Weekly Roundup: Making It All Work Edition
Earlier this year, I did a very popular series on David Allen’s book Getting Things Done, one that’s still generating a fair amount of email.
Given that I personally found at least as much value in Allen’s follow-up, Making It All Work (which approaches GTD a bit more philosophically), I’m wondering if there would be interest in a similar chapter-by-chapter review of this latter book as well. Here’s my review of that book.
I really like the “book club” format for deep discussions about particularly strong books.
Five Surefire Ways to Strengthen Your Willpower Willpower often makes the difference between succeeding and failing at something challenging. The stronger your willpower is, the more likely you are to get what you want. (@ dumb little man)
How to Replace Six Vital Documents These are just good things to know, because countless things can happen to our key documents. (@ get rich slowly)
Moving On Seth is no longer going to publish books in the “traditional” fashion. I’m actually going to attempt this with my next book, publishing by myself primarily in an electronic format with a print version available, too. (@ seth’s blog)
Diving Into Our Emergency Fund – Again When I read stories like this, I’m reminded how easy a well-stocked emergency fund makes our life. If a person went through this kind of stuff without an emergency fund, it would have been a very rough patch, indeed. (@ blogging away debt)
Why personal-finance “experts” continue giving worthless advice This article hits on why tiny individual personal finance bloggers have a larger monthly audience than many huge “prestigious” personal finance publications. We focus on actual problems that people have, not “financial literacy.” (@ i will teach you to be rich)

It’s Monday and Time for a Giveaway
Some Mondays I wake up and think, “What a beautiful day”, but then there are Mondays that I get up and think, “Why am I even up yet?”.
Do you ever feel like that? Since today is a Monday and to keep everyone from feeling like they should just go back to bed, I am doing a giveaway on a new product I recently discovered!
I am loving my new Warmables lunch pouch. The plastic bowl is the perfect size for a good bowl of soup or leftovers from last night’s supper. The cool thing about this is that you don’t need a microwave in the lunch room to warm your soup or leftovers up.
Before you leave for work or school, put your heated food in the bowl and place in the bag. Warm the cherry pit bag and place in the warmables pouch. Your food will stay heated for HOURS!
Would you like to win a Warmables lunch set?
Simply answer the question below:
What is your favorite back-to-school lunch?
A winner will be chosen randomly over the weekend (contest closes on Friday), and will be announced on Monday.
~If you are reading this post on Facebook or Twitter, you must come to the original blog post and leave your comment in order to be eligible.
Good luck!

Home canning safety guide at foodsafety.gov
My co-worker Charles Slat posted a link to this site on his blog, but it’s also appropriate to my readers: The FoodSafety.gov blog has timely tips on how to keep your home-canned vegetables “delicious and safe.” The advice pretty much mirrors what I heard last summer at a Monroe County Michigan State University extension service [...]

Coupon Sherpa’s 9 tips to avoid coupon scams
Have you ever seen a counterfeit coupon? A couple of months ago, someone showed me one. It was sent by a friend, but she didn’t know it was counterfeit until it was refused at a supermarket. I’m very particular about how and where I get the sales and deals I post on my blog. As [...]
