Bored at Work? Create an Office Playground!

Doing things at a regular, everyday basis can be utterly boring, but that’s normal. We all experience that every once in a while. However, getting bored at work lessens your motivation bit by bit, until you eventually find yourself unhappy with your job. So, here are some quirky ideas you can do to create a more energetic, enthusiastic working environment, and inspire as well your work mates who are feeling bored like you.

1. Suggest a “Freaky Friday” Dress Code.

It’s doesn’t mean totally “freaky,” but at least try to impose a wacky dress code once a week. You and your officemates can come up with a weekly theme, such as hippie outfits, beach wear, or something ‘80s inspired. This allows the employees to come up with creative styles and do some catwalk as a form of fun. Your work mates also get to know more about each other, since it’s not everyday that all of you show your artsy-fancy side.

2. Play “Catch”.

With a help of a soft rubber ball, try to initiate a game of catch during the most boring hours at work. This helps relieve your officemates of the stress they feel while doing their scheduled tasks, as well as wake up their stamina for they are required to catch the ball. A little action would keep all of you from feeling sleepy.

3. Play some happy music.

Music generates a warmer, more enthusiastic atmosphere, especially in a boring workplace. There are kinds of music that help boost up one’s motivation at work, such as feel-good instrumentals. Hearing your officemates hum at the tunes means that they have become inspired to work, thanks to the music.

These are just a few ideas on how to relieve stress and boredom at the office. Not only do they make you and your work mates feel good, they also generate more socialization, and eventually, a stronger bond among the different personalities working on a common environment.
