So, it's time for the announcement of the most terrible and secret secret. Preparation: for the faint of heart to take a sedative, to take the children away from the screens, to close the curtains, to agree with the dog not to disclose secrets. If everything is ready, then this is an enlightening moment: absolutely all people are idle at work, when they do not know what to do at work.
Yes, it happens to everyone - with the worker, the boss. And even with the chief of the chief. This can not be changed, but you can spend your free time for something useful. In any case, will be what to write in the explanatory.
Improve physical fitness
Office clerks and everyone involved in sedentary work, with the help of exercises, will be able to restore normal blood flow and increase brain activity. Training for people who have agile work will help them evenly distribute the load on different muscle groups. This will reduce the chance of injury or chronic disease of the musculoskeletal system.
Classes are divided into three main groups:
- tonic;
- isometric;
- Exercises for a specific muscle group.
The first category is athletics - running, brisk walking, jumping. Also here you can enroll some static exercises - a plank, handstand, for example. If desired, several classes can be held. Another useful option is stretching. It’s still not a particularly good idea to sit on the splits in the office or make a “bridge” near your foreman, but simple hugs and turns of the hull will be useful.
Isometric workouts are counter exercises. Outwardly, they are similar to static ones, since all that needs to be done is to stand still. In fact, such a complex causes the muscles to strain as much as possible. A few examples:
- sit on a chair, grab onto the bottom of the seat and pull up, trying to “lift” the chair and yourself;
- to rest on a heavy (ideally - very heavy) tabletop from below, trying to tear the table from the floor;
- take a thick belt and try to break it, changing the position of the arms (above the head, at chest level, etc.).
None of these actions will not be fully accomplished, but muscle tension and the effect of training will delight.
The third group of exercises aimed at maintaining the tone of the muscles that are at work involved the least. For office workers, for example, this is the hip part and the back. It is also better not to forget about gymnastics for the eyes - it is useful for representatives of all professions.
Spend time with staff
Usually at work, several people are bored at once, and not just one. So you can try to rally the team. How to do it?
- To offer a joint game - verbal, logical, or to bring along a tabletop.
- Discuss the situation in the company, in production, the latest working events.
- Arrange tea, closing the sleeping chief in the office.
- Come up with a greeting for a colleague who celebrates a birthday, the birth of a child, the payment of a mortgage or ... dismissal. Joke. Who is able to pay the mortgage?
- To support a sad employee, to do something pleasant - take the documents instead, give a sweet.
- To offer a joint after-work rest or a fun event during a holiday holiday.
If the boss is too formidable and does not allow to talk during the work process, then you can invent your own cipher - written or gestural. Or learn real sign language. Or again close the boss in his office.
Do brain exercises
This is a great way to increase your level of intelligence and calm boredom. Can:
- pass an IQ test;
- solve a crossword puzzle, sudoku or rebus;
- find the answer to the puzzle;
- play charades, “Baldu”;
- download logic or intellectual game;
- practice memory or attentiveness.
All this can be found on the Internet and occupy yourself for several tens of minutes, and even hours. The main problem will not be boredom, but an attempt to stop and tune in to work.
If there is no computer or laptop in the workplace / facility, and the only thing left to do is dream of a wonderful Wi-Fi on your phone, this is a reason to buy a couple of prints in advance. Crosswords, magazines with tests, collections of logic games will help to cope with the infinitely stretching time.
To clean up
On the desktop, for example. If not for Feng Shui, then for the sake of their own physical and mental health. Slamming and mess cause depression - this is a well-known fact. Dust accumulating on the surface of an uncleaned table is harmful to the lungs, skin, eyes. The sad conclusion: you still have to clean.
To wipe a table, the monitor of the laptop, to water the ficus which dried up last year - paramount tasks. It would also be nice to sort the business papers, clean the folders on the desktop of the computer (and, finally, remove the photo compromising material from the past of the corporate party).
If the table is already cleaned, then you can start cleaning in:
- bag, purse or purse (preferably your own);
- personal bedside table;
- a locker with outerwear and removable shoes;
- pockets;
- notebook, telephone messages;
- work and personal mail.
It is still undesirable to clean up the whole room, washing the floors and wiping the window sills. First, the cleaning lady will be sad because of the selected bread. Secondly, with special diligence, the boss may be demoted. Before the cleaning lady, naturally. Third, seriously? Someone really wants to independently otdraivat office?
Recall a living corner
According to the legend, somewhere in the most stuffy and dusty corner of the workroom is a living corner. Animals may not be there (to their happiness), but potted plants are found. If you still have nothing to do, you can go in search of this jungle. Or create them, and not necessarily in the very, forgotten corner. How can I do that?
- Put small cacti near laptops and computers. They perfectly absorb negative radiation.
- Buy an entire office flower pots and plant the plants on window sills, special supports on or near the walls.
- To lead a live talisman in the working staff. Or a few. Hamster or fish, for example. Dogs are a double option. On the one hand, no one will be bored. On the other - work too. Yes, and meet customers wet rough tongue and barking will be somehow wrong.
The beauty of breeding "living creatures" is also in the fact that it has a positive effect on well-being and performance. First, the plants are pleasing to the eye, purify the air, and the animals are uplifting. Secondly, the care of the “wards” - timely ventilation, moistening, exposure to sunlight - has a good effect on the health of the workers themselves.
Quit
To the head is not fired, you can quit yourself. It is better to immediately accept the fact that the world does not revolve around one position. There are hundreds of others — analogous, contiguous, or radically different. If the thought of boredom creeps in at work too often - this is a sign that it's time to change something.
The question becomes especially acute if it becomes boring at work even at full load. A person who is engaged in an unloved, boring affair becomes:
- depressive, neurotic;
- chronically tired, in a bad or lethargic mood;
- more susceptible diseases;
- closed, alienated;
- just miserable.
And in this case, even creepers with a pack of puppies will not help. Terrible to accept change, scares the unknown? The truth is that the lost years of happiness and health are rather worse and worse than changing jobs.
It is possible that attempts to decide what to do at work, when it’s boring, will not save them from a statement of their own accord, but they will surely get rid of boredom. And then, who knows? Maybe the dismissal will be a huge step towards his true destiny and happiness.
