This is a great article, by Peter Bregman, that appeared in The Harvard Business Review: “Two Lists You Should Look at Every Morning.”

On writing
You might enjoy these two interviews with Ian Morgan Cron on the life of a writer. See part 1 here and part 2 here. Be sure to see the notes on each page. Cron is the author of Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me, which is an excellent book that explores in particular the relationship between a boy and his father.
Thinking about ministry
John Fry has written two good posts in which he offers some very insightful comments regarding pastoral ministry. See “Are ‘Pastors’ The Problem?” and “Is ‘Pastor’ a Volatile Word?”
Critical situations in the world
While I was away, I read Jeffrey Gettleman’s startling piece in The New York Times on the thousands of children who are fleeing Sudan. Oh my goodness.
I also read this sobering piece about a 13-year-old Afghan girl who was forced to marry and then was tortured. Fortunately, some sought justice.
