I collect items on a Pinterest board regarding organizing. Here is a sample:

Does Your Job Stress You Out?

Job stress '“is just as much a risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, and cancer as other known carcinogens.” - Dr. Steven Lamm, New York University Mount Sinai Medical School, commentator on “The View.”  This was quoted years ago but can you imagine it's gotten any better?

PowerPoint Tip

When preparing a Power Point presentation, the time to change formatting is before you begin your presentation. If you attempt to change the formatting after you have created a presentation, only information that is still in the standard format is changed. If you have made manual changes to the formatting within a slide in your presentation, that formatting is maintained. - Debora K. Thurston, CPS, SPHR

What Does it Mean to be Friendly?


What does it mean to be friendly? The Bible tells us that a person who wants friends must first be friendly themselves. What constitutes friendliness? Here are a few descriptive words:

  • approachable
  • warm
  • interested in others
  • a good listener
  • not too internally focused
  • being kind for the sake of kindness, not to earn some sort of affirmation or privilege
  • discreet


I heard of an employee of a service organization that received a very generous tip (and it wasn't a food service organization) simply because the man was glad to finally find someone who would listen. That's a great definition of friendly.

What are some other descriptors of friendliness?
