Yay right, play…
Doesn’t seem like that’s what should be happening right now. Or is it? We’ve been hearing that you fall into one of two categories: You’ve either overworked and extremely busy, or you are bored and have finished Netflix. Both are frustrating, and both suggest the need to play.
Last week on our coaching call we talked about how to play at work. It’s a great motivator!
The inspiration came from an HBR article with a dog in the post (So of course, we read it!)
Play allows us to keep our spirits up when times are down. Play means fun, yes, but also collaboration and community.
Here are some ideas we shared:
Phone a work friend and leave them on the speaker while you work.
Add a scavenger hunt to the database clean up.
Post a mood chart in the office space or in a Slack channel. Have team members choose the emotion they identify with as they start their day and again later in the afternoon.
If you're taking turns in the office, build a puzzle together, separately.
How are you collaborating and connecting virtually with your team one day at a time?
Our coaching calls continue on Wednesday, April 29th. Stop by!
