Link love is a great way to tip readers onto helpful, informative, useful or simply hilarious information elsewhere. It is also a good posting strategy for when you’re lazy/efficient/effective/riding on someone else’s work/dedication/coat tails. So what if you don’t want to put in the leg work to achieve results that keep people coming back for more? Someone else does! Make them feel appreciated by pointing people their way.

Now, I’m going to send out some link love to Millionaire Mommy Next Door. I don’t know what my deal with Mommy blogs is; I’m in my 20’s and haven’t trusted children since my brief stint as a waitress at Red Robins, and a four year term coaching 5 to 11 year olds in ice hockey. Millionaire Mommy Next Door is more about Millionaire than Mommy, and lately I have been reading really insightful posts over there. The post I am referring to specifically today is How to Find Your Zingers. It’s a writing exercise which involves making lists of 100. I like making lists, and if you do too, I encourage you to make lists of 1000, or even 10 000.

Hmmm. If I’m so lazy, why and how can I make lists of 1000?

Well, maybe you should just listen to Jen Smith and try the exercise as she describes it.

I should have looked into it before I mentioned it, because I’m not following that theme anymore. I have instead decided to follow yesterday’s theme and do a week long series of lazy, yet (hopefully) helpful or interesting posts. To give a positive spin on the word lazy, I’m going to refer to it as The Effective and Efficient Posting Series.

Yesterday’s post has now been miraculously transformed into Effective and Efficient Post #1: Compilation of Quotes. Be sure to follow suit and quote yourself, like I did. If you’re don’t think you have something important to add to the noise, who will?

After that disclaimer, let’s continue on to Post #2 in the series: Using Holidays to Maximum Advantage

Do you remember checking into your reader on Halloween or Thanksgiving and finding a whole slew of posts dedicated to wishing you a Happy [Insert Holiday Here]? I sure do. Did it fill you with a warm and glow as you received their wishes? Maybe you did … Maybe you didn’t. Either way, utilizing holidays is a surefire way to save time and energy year round.

A quick googling of “comprehensive list of holidays” led me to the Interfaith Calendar. It’s safe to say that there are more holidays than not, so go to town and don’t be afraid to get far fetched, either.

For instance, today is the birthday of Guru Nanak Dev Sahib. Who knew? Well, anyone who is Sikh, because it is a Sikh holiday, that’s who. A quick wiki led me to learn that he is a central figure in the Sikh religion, and the first of 12 gurus. Now, I’m no guru (or am I?) but I would have to say that that is worth a hearty Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Guru Nanak Dev Sahib!

So, are you feeling that warm and happy glow due to my thoughtfulness yet? I thought so.

To make your wish appear more firm, and also give the illusion that you put a lot of time and consideration into the post, insure to include a heartwarming or hilarious image. Or make an excuse for their not being one, to give the illusion that you at least thought of including an image. As Guru Nanak has been dead for several centuries, I could not provide an image.
