首先,祝大家猴年快樂如意,大部分朋友寒假和年假都已經結束了吧,我們又要回到工作當中,肯定有小小的不適應吧。我今天特地準備了一個專題,如何快樂工作,希望需要的朋友從中得到有用的信息哦。


Many people spend over half of their waking days in the workplace. Though you may look at work as something that you need to get through in order to enjoy the rest of your life, if you make a goal of improving your happiness at work, then your entire life will reap the benefits of your positive perspective. If you find a daily routine that makes your mornings and working days more manageable, then you'll be able to find meaning in your work and in your interactions in the workplace in no time.



1. Wake up at least an hour before you need to leave for work.


 Enjoy some "me" time before the rush begins. Though your sleep is precious, so is your need for some time to be by yourself without feeling overwhelmed. Give yourself time to eat breakfast, read a little bit, go for a short jog, or to do whatever you need to do to get the day started off on the right foot. Nothing will make you feel better than knowing you already did something for yourself before walking through the front door of your workplace.



2. Dress for success. 

When you leave the house looking good and ready for work, then you are well on your way to having a good day. If you work in a casual environment or in a place with a uniform, then you don't need to add too many personal touches to your look, but you should shower, wash your face and hair, and look generally well-groomed. Not only will looking nice make other people treat you with more respect, but it will leave you feeling more excited about being at work.



3. Get to work at least ten minutes early. 

A rushed and bad start will minimise your chances of having a good day and feeling happy at work. If you get to work late, you'll feel like you're behind all day, and like you never have time to catch up. Instead, leave the house at least 15 minutes earlier than you have been, or even earlier, depending on when you normally get to work. You may think that you're winning by rolling in a few minutes late every day, when in reality, you'll be lowering your chances of being happy at work.


4. Greet your colleagues when you get to work. 

When you first walk in the door, make sure to greet as many of your colleagues as you can before you get to work. You'll instantly feel more connected to people and will feel your positive energy growing. You may feel stressed out, rushed, or just plain cranky, but isolating yourself is not the way to make yourself more excited about work. Instead, be friendly when you get to work, even if you don't feel very friendly.

Remember that part about getting to work early? One reason you should do so is to have time to connect with your coworkers a bit. If you get in late, you'll feel like you don't have time to say hi to people. But if you take your time, you'll have a few minutes to establish a connection with people without feeling frazzled.

If you don't greet people or rush off to your own office, you'll develop a reputation for being antisocial, whether it's true or not.




5. Have a welcoming workspace. 

Make sure to keep your desk organized and tidy so that you know where everything is and don't waste time looking for lost papers. You can have a filing system, or trays on your desk, that help you organize your tasks in terms of what has to be done today, next week, or by the end of the month. Taking just 10 minutes a day to keep your workspace organized can make a big impact on how happy you are at work. You want to feel comforted, not stressed out, when you enter your workspace.


6. Be as physically active as you can at work. 

Though you may feel like you're strapped to your desk all day, or stuck in one position, there are a number of things you can do to improve the amount of physical activity you can do during your work day; being more physically active will make you feel more energized and happier. This can start with your commute: you can try to walk or bike to work, or just to find a way of getting there that requires some physical exercise, even if it means walking a little longer to catch a bus. Once you're in the workplace, here are some things you can do to get more exercise at work:

Take the stairs instead of the elevator

Walk to a co-worker's office instead of sending an email to ask a question

Leave the office to walk across the street to get coffee

Go outside to eat your lunch

Get a standing desk to burn more calories while you work



7. Steer clear of cliques. 

It is especially important to avoid groups which target co-workers and management: negativity drains you of energy and blocks happiness and positive thoughts. Work on being friendly with everyone instead of joining a group of just three or four people and alienating everyone else. You don't want to join a clique and then find that the people in it turn on you. Instead, try to be on good terms with everyone without becoming stuck in one social circle; your happiness will grow as a result.



8. Avoid negative people at all costs

Colleagues who moan and whine about personal or work issues, will drag you down and prevent the workplace from being a happy one. Instead, focus on people who are positive, upbeat, and who have an optimistic attitude about their work. If one of your coworkers is complaining about work too much, then you will start to find a million things wrong with your job. Of course, it's important to be observant, but you shouldn't let other coworkers lower your happiness.

Avoid gossip. If you want to be happy at work, then don't get involved in office drama or idle gossip. Stick to talking about the things you care about and the things that make you happy. If you are known as a gossip, you'll soon be the target, and this won't help your happiness at all.



9. Find meaning in your work. 

One important way to feel happy at work is to find some meaning in the work you do. You don't have to be the CEO of a non-profit to feel like you're making a difference in people's lives. Whether you're a teacher, a waitress, or a corporate executive, you have to find a reason to do the work you do. You could be helping people, whether they are students, customers, or clients. If you struggle to find any meaning in the work you do, then it may get pretty difficult to be happy at work.

You may feel like a lot of your job is filled with drudgery, which can lead you to forget the bigger picture. If you're a teacher, for example, you may spend so much time grading papers that you forget that you're teaching children to love literature or to develop their powers of reasoning. Take a moment to remind yourself why the work you do means something and you'll see your happiness soar.



10. Reward yourself for a job well done. 

Though productivity is important, so is mental health. If you want to be happy at work, then you should periodically reward yourself for getting through a certain task or getting done with your work day. You can schedule a happy hour at work after a series of what you know will be stressful meetings. You can enjoy a sugar cookie after teaching two of your hardest classes. You can spend ten minutes reading up on your celebrity gossip after turning in a complicated report. Find whatever motivates you to get your work done and use it as a reward after a hard day.



11. Know when your work just isn't working. 

Though there are many things you can do to be happier at work, there may come a time when you realize that nothing you do can truly make you happy at work. Maybe it's because you're treated unfairly in your workplace. Maybe you're doing something you don't really believe in instead of pursuing your passion. Maybe you just feel completely worn down and uninspired. If you've come to the conclusion that nothing you do can really make you happy at work, then it's time to start looking for more meaningful, fulfilling work.
