Where can I find blogs on how to do things excellently?

I know it’s human nature to want things to be easy and quick. But honestly its a little disheartening when you look up how to do anything, you name it, and all you can find is “for dummys”, the easy way, painlessly, etc…

It’s great when you can accomplish what you need to quickly and easily, but lots of times you can’t get the goals you want this way.

I would like to know where can I find some blogs that give how to’s about personal development, self improvement, the hard way?

I want to know about fitness, saving money, being a better friend and relationship-er(?), using time wisely, work your own way through college while getting high grades, etc.

There are some days I like to waste my time and sit on facebook, I understand that urge to be lazy. But I am ready to not be lazy, I just would love some guidance and communities from others who want to go after what may take hard work.
