The Kindness-At-Work Manifesto

This just in! We're here for just a little while. No one gets out of here alive. Not even Donald Trump. So while you're here, remember to be kind and go beyond judgment, blame, and impatience -- especially when things start getting stressed out. Like on-the-job.

100 Simple Ways to Be More Creative On the Job

Here's the deal:
You are creative.
Really. I mean it.
You are.
Maybe you know it.
Maybe you don't know it.
But the fact remains:
you are creative.
Unfortunately, your creativity
doesn't always
show up on the job.
Work environments
tend to subvert creativity
and make it hard to access.

not Groucho's cigar.
Just a blog.
