Links Roundup (Reading Lately)

I have to admit, I spend so much time glued to a screen and read as much as I can to keep up with the world. Here's what's caught my eye lately:

The WSJ on the Queen Bey: "The Houston-born singer’s business savvy goes back to the late 1990s, when she was managed by her father, who taught her the music business." I remember totally jamming to Destiny's Child when I was a pre-teen and I continue to be in awe of the empire she's built. May we all remember, we have just as many hours in a day as Beyonce.

The Missing Piece - oldie but a goodie from Shel Silverstein on what to remember about love and relationships. Maybe all the life lessons we need, we learned as children.

Also on relationships: The Divorce Lawyer's Guide to Marriage. Interesting to see it from the perspective of someone who's seen the failures.

I watched this movie a couple weeks ago when I was feeling some New York nostalgia, but I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to pull off a Margot Tenenbaum costume.

Online privacy: cancelling forgotten accounts and seeing what Facebook's got on you.

Newsletters (the email kind): I've mentioned a couple before, but I also enjoy Another Round, The What, and Of a Kind.

Habit

Self-improvement - I'm a little obsessed. I'm continually trying to form good habits and stopping bad ones (or at least, forming more good habits to outnumber the bad ones!). They might be habits that aren't visible/obvious to other people but still have an impact on my productivity and well-being.

Here's an article to stop a bad habit, and an article to start some good ones:

I love how it's called "The Itty Bitty Shitty Committee" ha! Amy Poehler also had some great stuff to say about quieting "the demon voice" in her fabulous book.

inspiration / depressing fact

What would you do before you get a double mastectomy? Deborah Cohan dances to Beyonce at her hospital in San Francisco. More power to you, Deborah, and best of luck with recovery.
