1. Are You a WorkaFrolic?

(Boy, do I wish I had thought up this term myself.) Richard St. 
John, author of “Stupid, Ugly, Unlucky and Rich,” coined the
phrase “WorkaFrolic™” to describe one of the key ingredients 
in the formula for success. After more than 10 years of 
research and interviewing more than 500 wildly successful 
people on the topic of how to create success, St. John says 
that one of the keys is having fun. Successful people, 
St. John suggests, “Work their butts off. But they love it, 
so it’s not work, it’s fun. They’re not workaholics, they’re 
WorkaFrolics!”

2. Mike’s Fun at Work Tip 

If you want to have more fun, then take time to not only stop 
and smell the roses, take time to pause and play. One of the top 
excuses I hear from people for not having enough fun at work is 
this: “I don’t have time to laugh!”. Of course we have to get 
our work done - that’s the reason we’re, you know, paid and all 
that. But as we’ve said before here at the old Hump Day, if you 
don’t take time to break. . .you’ll break! Taking even a five 
minute time-out can help you mentally floss your brain and relax 
your body so that you ultimately accomplish MORE work. 

If you want some great tips and ideas on how to slow down in 
an ever speedier world, then surf on over to my friend Patricia 
Katz’s website: www.pauseworks.com. You’ll find great articles 
and books, including “Press Pause. . .Press On: Bringing 
Balance & Perspective to Work and Life” and “Give Me a Break:67
Ways to Pause When You Absolutely Positively Do Not Have the Time.”

3. Deep Thought of the Week 

“Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.”

4. It's a Wacky, Wacky, World  

From the Rocky Mountain news, here are some comebacks to use the
next time the boss catches you napping: 
- “They told me at the blood bank this might happen!” 
- “Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution
to our biggest problem!” 
- “I wasn’t sleeping. I was meditating on the mission statement
and envisioning a new paradigm.” 

Happy Hump Day! Work hard. Have fun. Pause n’ play. Keep laughing.
