How much fun should we be having at work?

And how much are you having right now? (A poll)

Hello everybody,

Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (seriously) by

Bree Groff

is our next Book Club read, and its central premise is that we should be having fun at the place we spend most of our time.

Yes, sometimes work will be hard. And sometimes work will be dull AF (and Bree shares an excellent Norwegian phrase to deal with these kind of not-so-fun days: oppe og ikke gråter - which translates as ‘up and not crying’).

She also shares a whole section on how to work out if your job is even funable (and what to do if it’s most definitely not).

Author Bree matching her nails to her book cover… fun!

BUT. On most days, most of us should be able to say; ‘today was fun!’.

And as we prepare to dive into this book and this topic, I’d love to get a handle on where everybody’s at right now.

Do you have fun at work? Let us know in the poll below…

(and if your answer is anything less then ‘quite a bit of fun’ tell me what your biggest ‘enjoying work’ challenges are and we’ll put some of them to author Bree at our live Book Club this Monday 8th - streaming here from Substack at 7pm).

All the love from SH HQ (where today’s fun activities include rewriting our website and trying to get Mylo to stay still for a BOTM shelfie 📸)

Toni 💛
