The importance of fun for fun’s sake
If anyone should read this, it’s me. I’ve always been a “work first, play later” type of person but I don’t recommend it. You need to fill yourself up each day with something you enjoy or things get old fast.
Having a hobby, or several, is a way to fill your day with a little bit of sunshine. Finding the time for it can be a challenge but if you make it priority, you’ll make it happen.
Ways to put fun time into your day:
- Wake up a bit earlier and fit 15 minutes of your hobby in the morning – birdwatching, anyone?
- Take a real lunch break and spend half of it doing something you enjoy
- End your work day with a treat: your favorite thing to do
- After dinner, sprint over to your workspace – or wherever you play – to get some hobby time in
Letting the work go
Depending on your age, you may or may not believe me, but life is short. Be sure you spend your days wisely. Have fun!
