Is It Fun?

One of the most energy draining aspects of work is seriousness.  Don't get me wrong, there is a time and place to be serious, but it seems that it is becoming ALL the time and EVERY place!
How many times have you been in:

• Meetings have you had that have just dragged on while someone was waffling about the importance of so and so and you could tell that NO ONE was listening?
• Sales presentations where the sales person was so serious, it turned you off their product?
• Conversations with colleagues who sounded like they were running down a checklist of things to say?

The Minister of Fun at a conference I was at had one simple rule.  It is a rule I am liking more and more each day.

"If it's not fun, don't do it.  If you have to do it, make it fun"

That doesn't mean that you make everything an opportunity for stand up comedy.  You don't want to be disruptive, you simply want to make it fun.
So are you having fun yet?
