social media tools and the war against stress: potluck

In the beginning social media was very different:

• People were more friendly• People were more ... open• People liked to interact with strangers• Less barriers or restrictions

Now social media has gotten way out of hand:

• More and more unfriendly• More and more time-sucking• More and more stressful • More and more restrictions

It doesn’t have to be this way.

We can remove the stress

from our lives and business.

Let me introduce you to Potluck

“A potluck is a gathering of people where each person or group of people may contribute a dish of food prepared by the person or the group of people, to be shared among the group.”
