Some would say that surfing the internet for a few minutes between articles will do the trick. Others profess that getting up and going for a walk fills the time nicely. While these ideas may seem on track, that’s not entirely the case.

how to take a break, how to go on a break, when to take a break, how to have a break, ways to take a break, how to take a rest
Getting productive – and awesomely so – isn’t easy by any means. Some people use music to get them going; some people use a combination of the aforementioned with a Diet Coke.

With today’s privacy “simplification” announcement over at Facebook which rolls out to all users over the next few weeks (unless you’ve recently quit…or you may not see if you are going to) , it rekindled an old argument: Is there is any productive merit to the web service?
A lot of users use the site to promote their blogs (WorkAwesome included) as well as to keep touch – and regain contact – with old friends. This can result in new opportunities and can be effective in keeping communication easy and centralized. Certainly birthday greetings have become simpler to send (and remember)!

Last week, Google announced that its real-time collaborative service Google Wave would now be available to all. No more waiting for invites.
