I am currently sitting in Davida’s bed in Toronto while Linley and Davida explore the town. Yes- I am that girl that “goes on vacation” and works. Life has been VERY unbalanced lately with my ridiculous travel schedule (5 weeks in a row Thur-Mon), and sitting down to just work has been uncommon. This morning I decided I was going to cross a HUGE task that has been on my to-do list for like the past 3 months —> Transition from Gmail to Google for Business. MAN – that was harder than it looked. I’m not 100% sure I did it right, but I’m glad I bit the bullet and went for it. Why?
Well Vids and I had a conversation this morning for the Blissful Bites Podcast with Nicole Culver…and Nicole asked me one thing that I admire about Davida. I admire that Davida works smarter not harder. Don’t get me wrong…Davida works her ASS off, but I feel like she is just on top of it when it comes to using technology and different tools to make her job easier. She’s extremely detail oriented and I feel like that is something I need to work on in my business.
THUS- Google for Business.
You probably don’t really care about Google for Business, BUT IT WAS STRESSING ME OUT…so I am glad I just sad down and did it. Usually when I get stressed…my mind goes crazy and all I can do is nap. I’m not even kidding…you would think that crossing things off my to-do list is what relieves stress, but it’s actually just stopping in my tracks and resting. Over the past 3 years, I’ve become a master napper and am like a child when don’t get my afternoon nap. WATCH OUT PEOPLE I GET CRANKY.
At least I know it 😛
Heyyyyyyy- you should make this smoothie. I promise you will love it. Davida is the Blueberry Smoothie Queen and obviously this is inspired by her. For you protein-loving bitties out there…feel free to add some protein powder if this is your post-workout grub or if you just need more substance. My favorite protein powder? Designer Protein — any of the whey variations, please!

Love smoothie bowls, can’t wait to make this one!
Yum! I’ve been all about the smoothie protein bowls lately. My favorite fruit combo for them right now is frozen banana with frozen raspberries… so good!
Blueberries are amazing. This smoothie looks fabulous. I don’t nap on a consistent basis but there are times I just need to take a nap! Working smarter and not harder is always a goal of mine. Have a great weekend. xo Lauren
I bring my laptop everywhere I go because I know I can be so productive on it! No shame 😉 this blueberry smoothie looks so creamy and sweet–definitely ready to dig my spoon in!
I heart naps… and Medjool dates!
What’s Google for Business?
I don’t understand people who don’t take naps.
Sometimes on Saturday afternoons after my workout and some food I like to take a quick power nap, before I get on with the rest of my day. It is a nice little routine that I have right now. It is a good way to just REST!
NAP IT ALL DAY ERRY DAY.
Hi Lee, congrats on finally crossing off a stressful item from your tod o list!
Could you tell me more about Google for Business, what is it, and why is it better/recommended?
Oh and the newsletter thing got sorted out, now I only receive 1
ps: When I was a kid I HATED napping. Threw fits, resisted and rebelled. Then once I graduated from high school and started life as a university student I discovered what a lovely thing they are. Since then I cherish every nap I can take, though sadly with an office job they are sparse :-/
What relieves the stress better than anything is being hugged by Boyfriend. A couple minutes and any stress or crankiness is taken care of 🙂
Awwwww you are so right about the hugs. It’s so true. I cherish those because we are long distance!
Google for Business allows you to have accounts as @fitfoodiefinds.com instead of @gmail.com. You still get to use all the wonderful gmail products, but your email address has a better chance of NOT ending up in spam. If you Google it….you can learn a lot more about it! You’ll see that my RSS emails you subscribe to are now from lee@fitfoodiefinds.com instead of fitfoodiefinds@gmail.com!
