Fun to function is something that I like to think about when I am running low. If I make the mundane tasks fun I will be able to do them better. An easy one is with my daughter, who is 4, we both do not like cleaning up. But if I make it a race we both clean up faster.
I like to hack my system for doing the not so fun things to get them done. I do not do this every time but most of the time I do. For me, this even works in other areas of life. This could be from housework, work, and our business. With most things in life, there are aspects of it I like and I do not like. It is more about making the things I do not like better.
Fun To Function… But I Do Not Know How
So this is something that is interesting because there might not be a way to make everything more fun. That is the first thing I try to do. However, if that does not work then I will plan something after that is fun or enjoyable. This would be like a reward if I complete it how and when I need to. Such as, if I make 3 client calls I will get ice cream. Also, it does not have to be food. It could be to watch a movie, read a fiction book… whatever it is for you.

The best way to implement this would be to just give it a try. If you do not know what will motivate you or will be fun? Try something and see if it works. If it does that is great and if not try something else. This is about trial and error. Because at some point you will find something that will work and will help you.
I would love to hear what the “fun” is for you and it might help us all find something else for us. Drop a comment below or head over to the Contact Us page.
