Do you find that as the weather continues to get warmer, your motivation switches from finishing that project on time to dreaming about warm sunny days at the cottage and backyard BBQs? I do!
It’s no secret. We all have an internal countdown throughout winter to the first nice days of Spring weather … unless you are a ski bum. We are cooped up inside all winter and we can’t wait to get outside and enjoy the nice weather again!
I also find that I might not be as highly motivated in the office as I count the minutes until I can get outside again. So how do we overcome this? Put some SPRING in your workday!
Why don’t you try…
Moving your office outdoors on a sunny afternoon. If you have a laptop and mobile phone you have all the equipment you need.
Put a vase of fresh flowers on your desk. It will brighten your day and everyone else who stops by.
Put a fan on low in your office and pretend it’s the cool breeze coming off the lake at your cottage. It may also help to have a photo of your lake as a screen saver.
Bring in popsicles as a treat for your co-workers. These are the ultimate warm-day delight.
Run your errands at lunch so you can get out of the office and drive around with the windows down.
Or, grab a friend and take a walk at lunch. You can be outside in the great weather and get a little exercise in.
Please share your tips on outing some SPRING in your workday!
