@MNicoleStephens Love this, Nicole!

My "Shoes" was the newest phone ☎️

My actual "shoes" or the physical things I actually need are:
🗒️ A notebook (plus pen)
☕️ A good cup of coffee
👞 Shoes, I do some of my best creative thinking when walking🚶

Bonus: A great bagel 🥯

[Neal Strauss @Neal_Strauss]

@MNicoleStephens I’ve been working on this too!

Waking up with natural light ☀️

Getting out of the house (fresh air) and moving (I walk for 15-20 minutes) first thing.

Going to sleep early is always helpful but even when I go to sleep late, still try to get up early to create a routine.

It's easy to lose sight of your business goals when prioritizing clients. I recently spoke with Jodi Daniels, the Founder and CEO of @redcloveradvsrs about how to set and achieve business goals during an @Upwork LIVE event.

Here’s what I learned: https://t.co/xlVw7orUSj

It's so easy for 'just one more email' to turn into working into the wee hours of the night.

How do you put an 'end' to your workday? #UpworkTips

[Upwork @Upwork]

How do you wind down after a full work day? Let us know in the comments and your thoughts could be included in the #UpworkTips campaign or on the blog.

[Neal Strauss @Neal_Strauss]

@Upwork I began freelancing as way to hold me over until I found my “dream job��.

Turns out freelancing was/is my dream job 😃

[Neal Strauss @Neal_Strauss]

I have a tie.

It’s the people and organizations I get to work with or the ability to say “I love what I do”.

What’s your greatest achievement as a #freelancer? #UpworkTips

@Upwork Working with some of the smartest people on truly incredible projects. #UpworkTips

And of course being able to pay for my search for the greatest bagel 😃 🥯

A social media manager’s job is to provide expertise, build strategy, craft engaging platform-specific content, and decide if that content fits into the current overall conversation on social media--not to just blindly post when someone says “post this.”

[Neal Strauss @Neal_Strauss]

@FullyThoughtOut B. Cleaner and simpler.

[Neal Strauss @Neal_Strauss]

It’s been a long while since in person meetings felt normal.

Thank you @CornerBakery for hosting us!

[SIMON'S Heart @simonsheartorg]

It’s been a fun week meeting in person with some of our favorite team members and volunteers!

@thelatashajames Congratulations 🎉

@_SydneeLogan Sometimes the line between procrastinating time and creativity time is hard to find.

[Neal Strauss @Neal_Strauss]

Remembering is not enough. We need tell the stories and share the experiences, especially on #HolocaustRemembranceDay

Please, take a moment to read @sweetteriberi’s powerful stories. #HolocaustMemorialDay

[Teri McGuire @sweetteriberi]

Today we commemorate #HolocaustRemembranceDay but my family doesn’t need a specific day to recall the Holocaust (the Shoah in Hebrew) because my Grandparents’ experiences have impacted them daily and in turn impacted us. My #dailyshoah shares a peak https://t.co/kREACDrjbg
