Hi- If you don’t know me my name is David Ajose. Prior to my current role I spend many years in recruitment. During this time I coined the phrase above when coaching employees who were struggling with the idea that their work could be a pleasure. Simply put, your work can become fun if you choose it to be so and you can do this by cultivating an attitude of play. You should memorize the simple rhyme “make work your play and you’ll never work another day” it will help you the think about your work in a different way in order to add fresh motivation and impetus to your activities and ultimately lead to greater pleasure and success at work.
Play is described by Wikipedia in the following way
In psychology and ethology, play is a range of voluntary, intrinsically motivated activities normally associated with recreational pleasure and enjoyment.[1] Play is most commonly associated with children and their juvenile-level activities, but play can also be a useful adult activity, and occurs among other higher-functioning (non-human) animals as well
If you cultivate an attitude of play in your work then you will find that you activities quickly become voluntary and intrinsically motivated and negative associations with your work will dissolve, evaporate and diminish.
Furthermore you will find that your skill level will improve and your productivity will increase. This will lead to your ability to add more value in your role ( and therefore in time become more valuable to your customers and employers)
It is no coincidence that some of the highest paid individual workers are sports people who spend most of time “playing” at their work.
So remember
Make work your play, and you’ll never ‘work’ another day
😉
