Why Introverts Need "Creative Space"

introvertdear.com - It's happened enough times that I'm inclined to call it a trend: I start dating someone new, things go well, and then we reach a point — understandably, I admit — when this new person wants to spend every last bit of every weekend together.

Favorites from the Fall Pottery Barn Paint Collection

remodelaholic.com - Hi Remodelaholics, it's Cyndy from The Creativity Exchange back with this month's paint color palette. Last month, I shared my a few of my tips for choosing paint colors for children's spaces. This month, I wanted to share a few of my favorites from the fall Pottery Barn paint collection from Sherwin Williams. I love it when a home decor store like Pottery Barn does a paint color collection because it helps so much to know paint colors used in rooms in their catalogs. Envision colors in a space is so hard and seeing a color on a wall in a decorated room makes all the difference. By the way, some of the most popular paint colors over the last few years have came from colors in past Pottery Barn paint collections.

7 Rituals You Should Steal from Extremely Creative People

Angel Hack Life - "Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it; they just saw something and connected the dots. It seemed obvious to them after a while." ―Steve Jobs

Growing apart on Facebook: I moved out of my blue-collar hometown and left my friends behind

salon.com - I grew up in the 1970s in a pack of girls unmoved by feminism. In the Blue Ridge Mountains and green valley where we lived, we hot-rolled our hair, mooned over boys and spent our weekends tanning. I loved my girlfriends as much as I loved those hillsides of family farms and fields of wildflowers. Even then, though, I knew I would leave Roanoke, my blue-collar hometown in Virginia.

Read what happens when a bunch of over-30s find out how Millennials handle their money

Read what happens when a bunch of over-30s find out how Millennials handle their money

qz.com - This morning, one of us posted a link about the announcement of a new bluetooth-based payments app into one of Quartz's editorial chat rooms. We often use these chats to discuss how to cover news. This time, however, the result was a rather revealing clash of generational cultures about money, privacy, and over-sharing. We decided to publish a lightly-edited transcript (we removed the less-relevant comments and re-ordered a handful of them for the sake of clarity). Those people whose names are underlined are over 30, and those without an underline are under 30. We've dubbed this underline the "Venmo line," for reasons that will become apparent.

The Shortness of Life: Seneca on Busyness and The Art of Living Wide Rather Than Living Long

The Shortness of Life: Seneca on Busyness and The Art of Living Wide Rather Than Living Long

Brain Pickings - "The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today… The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately."

"How we spend our days," Annie Dillard memorably wrote in her soul-stretching meditation on the life of presence, "is, of course, how we spend our lives." And yet most of us spend our days in what Kierkegaard believed to be our greatest source of unhappiness — a refusal to recognize that "busy is a decision" and that presence is infinitely more rewarding than productivity. I frequently worry that being productive is the surest way to lull ourselves into a trance of passivity and busyness the greatest distraction from living, as we coast through our lives day after day, showing up for our obligations but being absent from our selves, mistaking the doing for the being.

Why Diet and Exercise Are Not the Key to Weight Loss and Health

mariashriver.com - What if getting healthy had very little to do with obsessing over what you eat or worrying about how much you exercise? What if you could make weight loss and health automatic? In fact, research shows that is the best way to lose weight and get healthy. You can design a life where health and weight loss are an automatic side effect of your environment.

Secrets of the right-wing brain: New study proves it

salon.com - "John Stuart Mill called it "commonplace" for political systems to have 'a party or order or stability and a party of progress or reform'" So begins a recent paper in the journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences. But is this "commonplace" observation rooted in our brains? Is it even true?

My Favourite Overnight Oats

radiantrachels.com - Muesli, overnight oats, no cook oats, refrigerator oats, so many names for this simple meal.

The key to perfect overnight oats is the ratio of liquid to oats; watery oats are no good, nor are super hard oats. After much trial and error, I have come up with a fool-proof ratio of oats to liquid and chia seeds to liquid, and it is as follows:
