Making work fun is not an easy task. We need to consider the fact that certain colleagues can make or break whether or not your day-to-day is something you won’t complain on Facebook later. And alcohol at the workplace is definitely a no-no.
The best analogy I can come up with is that work is like the treadmill sitting in your living room collecting dust. You know it’s good for you. You don’t necessarily love it. You might stub your toe on it and acknowledge it with a 4-letter word vocabulary. You’ll avoid it. Make excuses to do it later.
However…
Once you put your head down, determined to take on the day, and you run three miles on it - you’ll probably feel the greatest you’ve felt in a long time.
What I’m saying is work is a means to an end. My advice to making work fun isn’t having a crazy hat day - it is to simply do it. I believe we are all inherently fun-loving. The fun in work should just come naturally.
You just need to take that first step.
