I found a great article, How to Manage Overachievers through LifeHacker The article explains how to identify, understand and lead overachievers, how to integrate them into your team, and how to identify warning signs that they are burning themselves out. In addition to helping managers, overachievers can use this article to help them understand themselves and to identify probable problem areas in their work.

Below is an article from the New York Times published February 5, 1898.

My husband and I purchased this book at Barnes and Noble this weekend and it is full of all the information we've always wanted to know. A number of interesting and useful topics fill the book such as how to throw a party and the items to stock in a guest bathroom.

I saw this video one day when I was bored and on my iPhone and thought it was really funny.
