Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun

  One of the topics I cover in my workshop is work-life balance. Within that topic we use a life wheel to map areas in life that need more focus than others. One of those areas is "Fun/Recreation". While researching some information on this area I found a great web video on "Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun".

Check it out. It's a nice relief from some of the videos I'm finding at the usual video site.

The eight principles, by the way, are:

1. Stop hiding who you really are.
2. Start being intensely selfish.
3. Stop following the rules.
4. Start scaring yourself.
5. Stop taking it all so damn seriously.
6. Start getting rid of the crap.
7. Stop being busy.
8. Start something.
9. Don’t worry what others will think about you.
