How to Create a "One-Page" Plan for Your Life
By Jane Herman

They include burnout, health problems, stress-based eating, and weight gain, among other problems. Due to many years spent coping with on the job pressure, many busy professionals find themselves facing chronic disease and its precursors: high cholesterol, hypertension and insulin resistance.

WITI and ApplyWise - Supporting Higher Education!
ApplyWise
Online College
Admissions Program
Online System for Managing the College Application Process
Robin Raskin, longtime WITI member, has been working with a new startup called�ApplyWise. She was intrigued by the ApplyWise program, which was developed by one of the nations' top private colleges admission's counselors for two reasons. First, it's an equalizer. It levels the playing field between those who can afford private counseling and those who cannot. Second, it helps busy parents. Studies show that parents of juniors and seniors in high school frequently miss work days and are distracted by the demands of the college application process. Applywise can maximize their efforts but minimize some of the long hours. The program consists of 12 interactive sessions that use interactive lessons, multimedia, personal surveys and planning tools to help with everything from the letter of recommendation to figuring out what high school curriculum to take.
Go to applywise.com and take a tour. You'll save 10% and a percentage of all sales will be contributed to WITI to help them continue their education programs for women in technology. Use Promo Code WITI.

Upcoming Network Events
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
