175 Funny Cheese Puns for a Gouda Laugh

The secret to enjoyable work and sustained productivity is to find a way to make what we’re doing a little bit more fun.

Now, I fully stand by this approach (it’s even the main idea of my book, Feel-Good Productivity). But, there’s a problem. Some things are just boring. There are things at work that aren’t fun, and we just don’t want to do them, but have to anyway.

For example, once a year, I need to update the 6med website with our BMAT and UCAT course dates. This just takes a few hours of work each year, but because it’s boring, I always put it off. Then get frantic emails and phone calls from parents desperate to book their kids onto one of our courses.

I’m putting off a basic task that could save me and others a lot of stress, simply because it’s just too boring.

So, if you have to deal with tedious tasks, or your 9-5 is painfully dull, you aren’t alone. I’ve felt the same frustrations and dealt with the same mind-numbing tasks.

But for those boring things, there’s an answer.

Adding a sense of fun into our work can transform it from a mundane chore to a rewarding experience.

After years of research (and writing a book about it 😜), I’ve discovered some pretty cool tricks to actually make work fun.

In this article, I’ll share seven of my favourite strategies for beating boredom and bringing some enjoyment back into your routine.
