We all have different ways to get through the day at work. No one can work like a robot for 8 hours a day without giving themselves a mental break, so we must come up with perks that help us break the routine and lift our spirits.
Many rely on food for that purpose. We plan what we're going to eat for lunch the second we step into the office, and we treat ourselves to snacks and candy throughout the day to give ourselves little energy boosts. Some rely on their coworkers for a much-needed gossip session or a simple friendly conversation that has nothing to do with work. There is also music, texting friends, and even looking at pictures of your pets; all wonderful ways to get out of the work mindset for a little while and spice up the day.
The most clever employees, however, find ways to sprinkle the whimsy right into the work itself. They don't need five minutes to forget about work when they have ways to make work fun on its own. That is obviously not an easy task to undertake, especially if your workplace is not keen on adding silliness into the schedule, but there are plenty of clever ways to do so and still get away with it, as shown in the example below.
This employee shared his brilliant idea on TikTok, which immediately took flight and inspired others to give it a go themselves. All you need to do is get a little creative when it comes to the titles you give the meeting you schedule. Before you schedule yet another meeting with your team called "Team Meeting", think about how you might name it if it were actually a YouTube video you were trying to get strangers to watch. There is no end to how funny these titles can get, and we honestly don't think it hurts the business whatsoever. So, if you're looking for ways to refresh your workday, give the list below a scroll, and you might find yourself inspired to name your next meeting something with a little more whimsy to it.
