Are We Having Fun Yet?

from The Mental Offload Podcast · host Shawna Samuel

Fun. 3 letters that strike fear in the bones of most high-performers.  We're told that fun is fluff. Fat to be trimmed from your schedule.  So any fun that we do have in our work days leaves us feeling guilty and unproductive. Unless it's having fun with our kids, in which case we feel guilty for not having enough of it. Eliminating fun seems like perfectly rational advice for getting more done.  And it does work in the short term.  But in the long term? It backfires spectacularly. In this episode, we'll explore why fun is necessary for more productive days, and a more balanced life.   What You'll Learn:  Fun has a broad definition: try these 3 types of activities The devastating long-term impacts of the pressure to eliminate fun from our weekdays How to let go of what you think "should" be fun and embrace what actually *is* fun for you   Featured in this Episode: Get The Mental Offload's Shut Down Ritual template Sign up for the free Reclaim Your Time Masterclass on Oct 10th
