Is boredom pulling down your productivity at work?
Boredom in office is a challenge for anyone to defeat, but it`s your right to have fun at work. Sometimes, when you are bored, you may just feel like eating something that is a strict "no" if you are watching your weight. But if that`s the only choice to boost your mood, then go for a small piece of chocolate or a cup of coffee or a small scoop of ice cream. But remember to keep it in moderation!
- Read out jokes and laugh out loud: That`s the age old trick, but it`s worth being copied. With the internet at hand 24/7, you don`t have to hide those joke books in your cabin anymore. Just GOOGLE a handful of jokes that could wake your sleepy colleague up in a fit.
- Munch on a healthy snack: We are not talking about chips, samosas, namkeens and other fattening foods, but a healthy snack that can keep your mind alert and your body in shape. Choose from a variety of foods like cut fruits, Juice, oat biscuits, Dry fruits, dhokla etc.
- Walk: Get up from your seat and walk for 5 minutes or just visit your neighbor`s work station for a chit chat or just to get a cup of coffee or green tea.
- Listen to music: Everyone has a computer and a pair of earphones. So pick your choice of music depending on your mood and you could even add a few steps to it!
- Play Sudoku/Solve a puzzle: Internet is your savior again! Work can get stressful and monotonous. Try your hand at a game of Sudoku or a crossword that will help you get your mind off work for a while. It can be of great help and can be refreshing too!
