Hey there — happy Saturday! 😄
Welcome to The Weekend Whirlwind. As a reminder, TWW is a quick weekend email with a few thoughts or articles or tips to help you out. Or just stuff to share, which may not even be business related. Short, sweet, and to the point. 😉
THINGS FOR THIS WEEKEND’S WHIRLWIND:
THING 1 — Helpful link: Are you an introvert? See how Noah Kagan of AppSumo deals with being one in this article.
THING 2 — Random fun fact: Gennaro Pelliccia has been employed by Costa Coffee since 1992 in various positions. As a coffee taster, his tongue was insured for £10 million with Lloyd’s of London in 2009.
THING 3 — TWW tips: Establishing boundaries can feel challenging, especially if you often prioritize others’ needs or aim for perfection in everything you do. However, setting boundaries is essential for protecting your time, energy, and well-being. Here is the third of five practical and empowering strategies to help you set boundaries with clarity and confidence:
Embrace Saying No — Saying no is an act of self-care, not rejection. Start with small no’s to build your confidence. Remember, every no to something external is a yes to yourself. If possible, offer alternatives — like suggesting someone else who might be better suited for the task.
This is the 3rd tip in the series of tips on establishing boundaries; check out the TWW Archives if you missed the last two weeks!
THING(S) 4:
~ Freebie of the week: from Charlene at Wellness with Charlene, get her Purple Poppies 2025 Calendar Template.
~ Deal of the week: from Piggy Makes Bank, get their Content Creation Bundle for just $9.
THING 5 — TWW Book Club: New rotating feature! Instead of TWW Wisdom, this week I’m featuring a book recommendation to change things up. 😁
Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. From the Amazon sales page: “Essentialism isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done.” This book helps you determine only what is most essential in your work and personal life. It’s an easy read and can be applied to any type of business. Definitely recommend!
That’s it for this time — let me know what you think, and have a great weekend! 😎
