Stock Photos: Free and Easy

I found a site that will make your search for stock photos a breeze! Whether you’re short on time or looking for free images, LibreStock is a great place to go.

Simply type in your keywords and let LibreStock go out and search the whole internet for free-to-use photos.  The result will be several beautiful images,  from many different sources.  You can immediately download any or all of them at no cost and with no worries about whether they are licensed to reuse. It is very important though as a courtesy to give credit to the photographer by stating ‘photo credit by’ and then link it to the respective website. In addition, if you like, you can either make a monetary or share donation.
Here is their website: LibreStock.com

Another way to look for images is via Google images search. Make sure you select Tools and make a selection from the drop down menu called: Usage rights. This filters images respective to your selection.

Check it out and let me know what you think. I would like to read your comments.

Inspired Productivity with Metaphor Technique

Inspired Productivity with Metaphor Technique

Feeling overwhelmed at times? Yes, I know the feeling!

When I feel overwhelmed I use the metaphor technique. I think back to when I climbed the Matterhorn. I had to take one step at a time and persevere to reach the summit. There were places where I had to slow down to get my strength back. This technique worked and I reached the top! This memory helps me to step back and regroup so I can focus again on tasks or projects.

You can use a different metaphor, something that was physically very challenging for you such as hiking, running, biking, etc. Remember that moment, it was hard but you did it! Apply this technique when you are stressed or overwhelmed. Step back, regroup and start again. Perseverance is the key! In order to reach the goal, you have to take it step by step and slow down a little to get your strength and focus back.

Feel free and share your comments and experiences. I would love to hear from you.
