How to turn every task into fun

By Carol Dodsley

Do you find yourself with things you just know have to be done but the thought of doing them fills you with a feeling of gloom, boredom or you just can’t be bothered even thogh you know you “should” do them?

When this happens, first ask yourself – why do I need to do this? what positive effect will doing this have for me?

It may be that you are about to peel a host of potatoes and carrots and you just don’t like doing that but the positive outcome is that you are going to have a fantastic meal – thinking of the fantastic meal as you peel the potatoes will make you feel much better and will give the task a postive reason rather than a feeling of boredom as you do it.

You can also turn a monotonous, boring task into fun! – How?

Make a game out of it!

For example, time yourself and keep trying to improve your time.

Let’s say you have to peel 30 potatotes and carrots to peel

See how many potatoes you can peel in 3 minutes. Then try to beat your own record.

Or you can time yourself to see how long it takes you to peel one potatoe. And beat your record again!

The good thing is you will always be a winner. ;)

You can turn any boring task into fun game, there are lots of ways to do it, just use a little imagination!

Making tasks fun and keeping the positive benefits of doing a task in yoru mind as you do it is proven to increase motivation and productivity by more than 125%!

Build fun and see the positive outcomes of everything you do throughtout the day and you’ll notice that you’re getting more work done in a less amount of time.

Have a great day and remember to smile and notice all the wonderful things around you!
