In this series, I post a tip that I do or have done to make myself live a happier and/or better life.
Tip #1 – Create a short, dorky activity to do at a specific time at work to get to know your coworkers better and to force yourself to take a break. Mine was water chug @ 2PM.
Short activity because nobody has time for anything.
Dorky activity because people like doing stuff away from the norm. Dorky is cool now-a-days especially when you have 18% of the office doing it (7 people including higher-level employees).
Specific time because everyone will be at the same schedule and come back daily.
To know your coworkers better because it turned out for me that going to work everyday was more enjoyable when you have friends.
Force yourself to take a break because it leads to better productivity and a healthier self (step away from the madness).
Water Chugging (know your water limits or you can die!) because going to the breakroom to refill and drink water is never inappropriate.
2PM because you’ve had your lunch and you need to wake up from that food coma now.
