How to Pick a Funny Motivational Quote for Work

• Match the quote to the day. A Monday quote fits Monday, and a deadline quote fits a busy week.
• Keep it kind and clean. Skip jokes that mock a person, a job, or a team.
• Pick a short quote for a chat or a card. Long lines lose their punch fast.
• Think about your boss and your team. A light joke works in most offices, but a sharp one can miss.
• Use one quote at a time. One good laugh beats ten lines that no one reads.
