Having fun at work?

Yesterday I wrote about charging batteries. I mentioned there that one of the way to do so is having fun. In my opinion it is the most powerful way. But probably even better way to keep your effectiveness and motivation up is having fun doing your work.

Probably less than a quarter (and I am quite sure that less than half) of working people really like their jobs. Most of us treat a job only as the way of earning money for living or even as a necessary evil. But sometimes it is possible to have at least a bit fun of your work. Of course it depends on the job you do.

Here are few tips that I use to be more satisfied with my job:

• Try to achieve the goals your way.


• Do things right.


• Not be afraid of new challenges.


• If you have a choice, choose tasks that require learning new things from you.

Of course it is not always possible to use these tips, but when it is, it is worth trying.

You can find a great example of having fun in the Queen Breakthru video. It is not related to the above tips, but it always crosses my mind when I think about fun at work. Every time I watch it, I think: “shooting this video had to be great fun for all of them”. The statement isn’t only about Freddie. Just have a look at John Deacon and Brian May in a take starting at 1minute 25th second. Each of them is showing it his own way. I like John’s best.
