Yes, we all have to work hard but if we don't play, our work and soul can suffer. What so many of us don't realize is that if we don't take the time out to play and be in our "childlike state" we can block some great opportunities for our subconscious to come up with great ideas & solutions for our work. How many inventors say their ideas came to them when they weren't "working"? So playing has a great by product of actually being more productive! We just need to trust that, let go and play... That's why I teach buffoonery! :) Thanks for your video! Am I happy to hear what you have to say! Yes, we all have to work hard but if we don’t play, our work and soul can suffer.

This post is especially fun for me as it is what I preach : humor in the workplace increases productivity. I have a blog carnival that is right on this topic. I wonder if you'd consider letting us include this post in our next carnival? (We've only done one, but it was pretty successful w/ traffic.) http://www.bradlaughs.com/2008/10/31/humor-carnival/ Thanks Chris. Brad Montgomery I love your blog, especially the videos.

I think you've made some good points here. We have to work hard, but work with some smart and fun mixed in as well. I think that you should enjoy your work as much as you can. Because of the type of work we do, we can work anywhere - so I regularly work at coffee places etc. It gives me different perspectives, a new environment for a few hours, and this boosts my productivity. I regularly go to the beach as well. My office is in the city, and the beach is 5 min away - but I bet I'm the only one in my building who does this. People get so caught up in their stuck-at-the-desk mindsets that they forget to have fun. I normally go there to have a break, lunch, or even just a coffee, other times I'll read, catch up on Twitter, but when I leave there, I'm totally refreshed and energised. I also believe in investing in the best work tools. Expensive wireless mouse that does a few neat tricks, etc etc. My work experience is a totally fun one. So it's 9.47pm now in South Africa and I'm still working - because I enjoy it. Who said hard work had to be dreadful? Hi Chris. I think you’ve made some good points here.

I think the difficulty is when "play" and "work" become indistinguishable because we are so passionate about what we do. That's when we need to stop and build some disciplines around this stuff so that we don't fry. Great point.
