Put a Little Play Back in Your Day

(ARA) - So when did life become all work and no play?

In the recent study No Vacation Nation (2007), the U.S.
Center for Economic and Policy Research found that among
the 21 richest countries in the world, the United States is
the only nation where paid vacation time is not guaranteed
by law. And when time off is offered, it is still usually
less than what other countries such as France, Australia
and Japan offer.

Before heading up to Human Resources to complain, however,
take a closer look at your own work habits. Similar studies
found that the average American only uses a portion of his
or her vacation time, and even then, many tend to take
their work with them. A shift in American work habits from
the 1950s is often cited as the cause, but this change in
attitude was not a subtle generational one; rather, it was
distinct, and, for most, happened sometime around the sixth
grade.

With visions of junior high and high school running
through young heads, reality crashed through with three
simple words, "no more recess." This rite of passage is
meant to signify a transition to adulthood. It is the time
when words like "playtime" and "fun" are pushed aside for
more mature words, such as "responsibility" and "deadline,"
and eventually, "time management" and "overtime." And so
with little resistance, Americans concede that playtime is
over.

But the desire to have fun on the schedule isn't just kid
stuff. According to a survey conducted by Nestle Crunch
Crisp, 70 percent of Americans wish they could have a
recess break sometime during their workday. And doing so
might actually be to their employer's benefit. An earlier
article in Fortune magazine confirms employee motivation
and creativity, sparked by activities such as "play," can
increase office productivity up to 127 percent.

Finding ways to put a little play in your day can also
increase the levels of satisfaction experienced at work.
Yet despite these benefits, the Nestle survey found that at
42 percent, almost half of Americans think their workday
contains no play whatsoever, and only 39 percent felt
their's was a fun or playful workplace.

It may be time for Americans to take recess back -
dodgeball is optional. Here are some tips for giving
yourself the work-day recess you deserve.

THE ONLY WASTED VACATION IS THE ONE NOT TAKEN.
Schedule your vacation time well in advance. If you end up
taking a trip, that's great. If not, even better - you get
to sleep in and catch up on all those things you've been
too busy to tackle.
PROPOSE A NEW TEAM BUILDER.
Did you know you can learn more about a person from
playing a game with them than from 10 interactions? A staff
meeting may teach everyone more about the next fiscal year,
but a staff game night could teach them more about their
teammates working styles.
PLAN FOR PLAY.
Keep some things in your desk that will help you relax
during short breaks. Maybe you like to spend a couple of
minutes with a crossword or cell phone solitaire. What
about a miniature Zen rock garden to take your mind off
things?
FORECAST A REWARD.
You probably can't grab a massage every afternoon, but you
can plan a reward for yourself every day - lunch with a
friend, an afternoon snack, or really leaving by 6:00 p.m.
SHAKE UP THE INTERVIEW.
Trying to find a new team member? Don't just sit there;
take applicants for a walk and see how quick they are on
their feet. They'll get to impress you with their best
qualities, and you'll get some exercise and fresh air.
TEST YOUR SENSE MEMORY.
Tastes and aromas can often be tied to memories, like
hotdogs and baseball games, or movie popcorn and a really
good date. Test this theory with new Nestle Crunch Crisp
and see what fun thoughts pop up with your love of
chocolate.

Whatever play means to you, understand that it is a
necessary part of a healthy work-life balance. No, you are
not being paid to play games, but if taking even ten
minutes to surf the Internet helps you come back and focus
more on the task at hand, don't you think your boss would
give you a permission slip to visit www.PlayInYourDay.com?

Flea Relief?

To determine if fleas are in your house, walk through it
wearing white socks. Should you have a flea problem, the
fleas will be attracted to your body warmth and the sound
you make while walking. You will be able to see them on
your socks. To eliminate fleas, vacuum carpets and
furniture which is where they most often live. Be
especially careful to clean pet areas and treat your pet.
