When I saw that January 29 was National Have Fun At Work Day I thought, “Why not?”.
Now, I have fun at my work almost every day but sometimes the days can get pretty packed and I am tired by the end of the day. Also, I am a sole entrepreneur so no co-workers to goof around with. I started brainstorming about how I could stir things up and end the week with a bit of fun.
My first thought was that I could post a silly quiz on Facebook and twitter and see who would join in for a fun Friday. That will be fun if some people will join in.
Then I added that I could ask everyone who saw my Fun Friday posts to share a funny video that related to their work. I intend to post one of my favorites - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmohanMEufw.
I also thought it would be fun to go live and share some celebrations and wins and ask anyone watching to list their wins.
And since I can’t chat around the water cooler, I thought it might be fun to call up a friend to chat for a while – no business allowed!
Then at the end of the day, before I clear off my desk, I will do a mini-vision board that shows how much fun my work can be.
Yep! This looks like it will really be a Fun Friday. I have been working hard and I deserve it!
I am really hoping that others will join me in celebrating National Have Fun At Work Day!
