The Break Pal Blog

Getting to know Liz Weaver

Mon, 02/01/2010 - 20:24 — Liz Weaver

Around Christmas I ran across a quote “Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful”. It spurred me into a cleaning frenzy. Cleaning doesn’t actually describe it. I have organized my storage, every tool every nail has been sorted and placed somewhere logical. I felt like Cinderella separating the lentils from the ashes as I went through numerous glass jars of mixed nails, washer, bolts etc. It was crazy, it took me over 10 hours but I got it done.

No New Resolutions

Fri, 01/08/2010 - 10:06 — Liz Weaver

Yes, you heard me. As I was sitting down to think about my 2010 resolutions (it's already the 8th)I glanced over at the book shelf and there was my 1996 resolution staring me in the face: Complete works of William Shakespeare. I picked it up and apparently I only made it 56 pages before I gave out on that one.

Prove Peter Wrong!

Just watched an interview with the amazing Peter Shankman.

This is the first I've seen of Peter on video but I read every one of his three emails per day (including the ads). I can say without a doubt I read his email newsletter more than any other email I get. Like Peter, it's straight to the point and awesome. If you want to get media exposure it's the best

Getting "caught up"

Wed, 12/09/2009 - 15:14 — Liz Weaver

All my community commitments for this year are done! I've been at my desk getting "caught up" for three days and all I can say is thank God for Breakpal, lol. I haven't been at my desk much the last few months and it shows.

It looks like we have some new users and some old users have recommitted. I'm looking forward to being around more, that means I'm in my office getting something done!

It's good to be back. I'll see you in 30 minutes.

Easy Fitness Tips for Professionals

Fri, 12/04/2009 - 12:17 — Phil Weaver

There are times when 24 hours a day are not enough to squeeze in all that you want to do and all that needs to be done. And when you’re a professional with responsibilities on the job that cannot be put off because you are not your own boss, life becomes that much harder because you’re juggling too many balls in the air. So with your personal and professional lives taking up all your time, you have hardly any to devote to health and fitness. But then, without health, you don’t really have a life.

Tim Ferriss, author of The 4 Hour Work Week says that you should work every day like tomorrow is Vacation. He's right it's amazing how much you'll get done when you want to get out of the office.

Working off that theory we should all be super productive today!

A good question to start the week.

Mon, 10/26/2009 - 08:00 — Liz Weaver

Happy Monday everyone!

I don’t know about the rest of you but I have some serious paperwork projects to do this week. It’s no secret that paperwork isn’t my favorite thing, FINISHING it is my favorite thing. O.K. someone else doing it for me would be my MOST favorite thing, but that isn’t going to happen.

Here is a healthy question taken form a book I love, The 4 Hour Work Week written by Timothy Ferriss:

Am I being productive or just active?

A Little Encouragement for Kat and Gina

Tue, 10/20/2009 - 21:27 — Phil Weaver

How do you do at helping others?

Do you generally lend a hand when it's needed?

I can say with certainty that most of you out there using Break Pal can honestly say yes. I know because I've emailed or conversed with most of you in one way or another. I know in general it's a very positive group. (Oh and it might have something to do with how quickly I delete an account when I sense someone who's a real downer :-) )
