I like to spend the first hour or so of my day reading up on the latest Flex Blogs. Anytime I find a blog or an interesting post I add it to my collection. I can’t count how many times I had a problem to be solved and had come across the solution just that morning or a couple days before.
If you want to see my Google reader Feed (a feed of all the feeds I read) click here. Another great place to start is Feeds.Adobe.com where you can create your custom feed of Adobe related blogs.
Here is a list of interesting sites and reads that I have collected over time all relating to Flex.
