對很多現代上班族來說，我們被困在辦公室的時間遠遠多于躺在床上的時間。但喜歡上班的人卻沒有幾個。那如何才能讓這個占據我們每天最多時間的事情變得有趣一點，或者至少不那么難過呢?下面是《大都會cosmopolitan》雜志給出的八大建議：

1. Get Yourself a Pretty Bouquet

放點花在辦公室

Not only is it way nicer to look at than a collection of multi-hued highlighters， but research has found that having flowers near their work area makes people generate more ideas (like， for example， creative excuses for working from home?) than when they‘re in plant-free zones.

花朵不僅能比滿桌的各色熒光棒更賞心悅目，而且研究也顯示，辦公區域附近鮮花的人們會較沒有花相伴的更加有創造力(比如說，想出些更有創意的請假借口?)。

2. Suck Up A Little

拍點馬屁

When you and your boss are heading to the parking lot simultaneously， make the most of that ninety-second face time and tell her how much you enjoyed working on a recent project. The flattery will pay off， in the form of career advancement and less risk of emotional burnout. The reasoning is pretty basic： If your boss likes you， she‘s not going to pick on you or tHRow you under the bus—and may even put in a good word when an amazing position opens up.

碰巧跟老板一起走去停車場的時候，應該抓住這90秒的面圣時間告訴他你是多么喜歡做目前的項目。這些好話都會有回報的，不是晉升的機會就是老板的歡心。這么做的原因很簡單：要是老板喜歡你，他就不會找你的碴或者拿你頂罪什么的，甚至還可能在有個好職務虛位以待的時候為你美言幾句。

3. Have a Post-Meeting Sext Session

開會后跟另一半來個短信調情

Obviously not on your work-issued phone. But the next time work‘s got you all hot and bothered—and not in a good way—do something pleasurable (like start a few frisky back-and-forth exchanges with your guy)。 Studies show that indulging in enjoyable behavior not only reduces stress—but the de-stress effects can last for up to a week. Hmmm …… maybe this is a daily-to-do on your calendar?

顯然這么做時不能用公司配備的手機。不過下次當工作讓你焦頭爛額的時候，你確實可以考慮做點別的有趣的事情(比如說跟你的愛人來幾條性福的短信)。研究顯示偶爾的放縱不僅能減壓，而且其減壓效果還將持續最長一周。這么看也許你該將這列入每天必做的事項哦。

4. Institute a Fun Lunch Friday

組織個周五同事午餐會

Or iced-mocha Monday， or wine-night Wednesday， or whatever， with your office BFFs. A study published by the American Psychological Association found that getting along with coworkers may prolong your life—and will totally make it more fun in the interim.

或者周一冰摩卡聚會也行，也可以是周三紅酒之夜什么的。反正只要能跟同事一起做點有趣的事情就行。一項發表在美國心理學會期刊上的研究發現，跟同事的良好關系甚至可以延長你的壽命，而且也會讓你生命里的每一天更加有意思。

5. Indulge in Your Angry Birds Obsession

盡量玩憤怒的小鳥吧

Research confirms the more committed you are to your job， the more your stress levels soar. So if you‘re used to all-the-time intensity， pulling back a bit may save your sanity. Just taking fifteen minutes to do something enjoyable will make you feel more balanced and chill.

研究證明越是專注于工作，你的壓力水平就會越高。所以要是你每分鐘都沉溺在工作中的話，偶爾走下神才能保證你不發瘋。只要拿出15分鐘做點有趣的事情就可以讓你更加放松。

6. Multitask Like a Maniac

一心多用

We‘ve all heard people work best if they focus on only one thing at a time—but if you’re the type who finds it easy to check Facebook while talking to your mom on the phone while making dinner， a new study suggests you may be less likely to suffer from job burnout if you bring the same MO to the office. Of course， if you‘re more of a single-tasker， stick to that method—the main idea is just doing the job in the way that feels most natural to you.

人們總是說專心致志才能做好一件事，但如果你是那種可以一邊上Facebook一邊跟你媽聊電話，還能同時做晚飯的人的話，一項新研究發現每天只在辦公室做一件事會讓你很是厭煩。但如果你本身就是一心不能多用的人的話，那就還是只做一件事吧。重點就是應該按照自己的性格來安排工作。

7. Watch Ridiculous YouTube vids

看點爆笑視頻

Sounds obvious， but worth remembering when you‘re tempted to bitch and moan about your assignments. Research proves that employees perform better when they’re in a positive mood. So the next time work‘s bringing your attitude down， spend a few minutes on funnyordie.com or whatever your humor poison.

雖然是個很顯而易見的建議，但下次你被工作煩得頭大的時候可以想想這個。研究證實上班族心情好時可以工作得更好。所以要是工作讓你心煩，就抽出幾分鐘來看看爆笑視頻吧。

8. Plan a Vaycay

計劃旅行

Studies have shown that people experience a bigger happiness boost before they go on vacation. So schedule a whole bunch of fun mini trips， and daydream about those when work is dragging.

研究顯示當人們去旅行時，心情指數會驟然飆升。因此當工作很頭疼時，你可以開始想想要去哪兒走走，在腦袋里旅游也有幫助哦。
