Good morning and a very Happy Monday to you!

 

Can you believe that I pressed snooze not once, not twice, but thrice this morning!  Now I’m up and sipping my coffee, I’m quite mad at myself… not only am I now a little groggy, but it’s also meant I’ve lost a whole half hour in the lovely sun.

 

My emergency alarm clock (otherwise known as the dog) also proved spectacularly useless.  Two hours later and he’s still in bed himself… I might need to revisit the terms of his employment!

 

Now I’m up I’m just itching to get started!  I’ve got lots of exciting stuff to do this week, as well as preparing for a product launch in May.  I’ll of course share more with you as we get closer to the big day.

 

Anyway, I hope you – unlike me – managed to leap out of bed like a happy little elf this morning 🙂

 

Happy Monday #53!

 
Happy Monday!!!
 
I hope you’re having an awesome morning and just itching to get your hands on this brand new week.  In fact, perhaps you even managed to leap out of bed like Mike this morning… I hope you did!
 

 

The creator of this video (Michael Kerr) is the creator of an awesome concept – humour at work – which you can check out on his website humoratwork.com.

 

Ask anyone who’s ever worked with me and they’ll tell you I’m much like Mike… a massive fan of having a laugh as you get the job done.  And why wouldn’t you?  It makes everything far more enjoyable and fun!  As long as you don’t embrace it at the expense of the work (which Mike refers to as taking yourself lightly as you take the job seriously), it’s by far the best way to enjoy your job, reduce stress, boost morale etc.

 

Here’s a list of benefits that Mike’s pulled together, which shows the benefits of humour at work: Introduction to Putting Humor to Work.

 

All that benefit AND the opportunity to have a laugh.  I’m in!

 

So arm yourself with pens to scribble on other people’s arms and go forth to enjoy this week laughing.

 

WARNING: please check your employment policies before drawing on other people 😉

 

Happy Monday!
