I’m currently reading “Feel Good Productivity” by Ali Abdaal. In chapter one, Abdaal talks about how having fun is likely to make you more productive and happy at work. He suggests that, when approaching a task we’re less than enthusiastic about, we ask ourselves a question:  

“What would this look like if it were fun?”

I really like this idea. Fun, however, can be hard to come by in the first week of January. After all, it’s the week when we take down the Christmas decorations, come back to work and eat only vegetables after what is for many a fortnight-long cheese and booze-fest. The party’s over, so where’s the fun in that?
