Fun Work: How to Add It to Your Everyday
No matter how boring your job is, you can include fulfilling work in your day-to-day
Your nine-to-five is dreadful — as in, going into the office actively fills you with dread. Or you’re at a dead-end job that you know won’t go where you want to go. Or you’re so overworked that you feel like you have no time for fun anymore.
I have been there. In every one of these situations. You’re like me, and you have a desperate need for creativity and joy in your work life. And guess what? Even after I launched a freelance writing business, I still felt much of this.
The good news is that you don’t have to blast your life into outer space to make a change. Small steps make a big impact. Here are my top tips for starting to include fun work in your day-to-day.
