Why do people feel they have to separate the realms of work and play? If you chose the right path and go down it the right way then you can ensure your work is your play. A lot of this doesn't even have to do with making the right decisions about physically choosing a path, but rather how you go about your work emotionally. Remember, you are your attitude. Find a way to cater your work ethic to what you enjoy. Does this mean working with people? Working outside in the fresh air? Doing your brainstorming on a whiteboard ping pong table? Setting up a basketball hoop above your rubbish bin? Make your work fun! Ask yourself if your work environment is really facilitating your drive to be there. Waking up eager to go to work is an aspect of life I have listed under my personal definition of success, and finding a sense of play within that is key to achieving such success. Not only will this make going to work more enjoyable, but your ability to do the work will soar because you are in a place where activities you would normally find distracting are actually combined with working. Only you can know how you work best, it should always be in your best interest to facilitate this. |
