How to Beat Boredom at Work




From WikiHow

Sometimes work can be really boring especially if you are new into business and not many tasks are assigned to you.

== Steps ==
# Do your work. But, don’t rush through it. When you have finished, and still have time, you can entertain yourself if you are bored.

# Ask coworkers if they need help. If you are new, offering assistance will prove your worth in the office and you may make friends you can chat with later on.

# Do something constructive with extra time. You still manage to finish everything before time, have something to keep your mind occupied. Write or read articles on this website, read a book, keep a journal, there are a million and one choices.

# Interact with others. Most offices have a lunch room or cafeteria or even at the water cooler. Make acquaintances. You never know, you might meet someone that can help you along in your career.

# Learn a new language. Most jobs would consider it a plus. Also, if you know someone that speaks that language, you can converse with them to pass the time. Maybe play a few harmless pranks on your friends, but don’t over do it.

# Download a typing program (like typing master) and practice typing fast, it'll look as if you were working, but you are still being productive to a certain extent.

# Plan a vacation. Think of places you might want to go to on your days off. Camping with friends, going to the beach with family, romantic dinner, whatever tickles your fancy. You can even research it, it looks like you’re working, so why not.

# Set up a toy basketball hoop over your trashcan. Save up excess paper and whatever else you are going to throw. Practice making shots in your free time or in between work. Try coaxing your neighboring coworkers into a game of hoops.
