Today's tip is to reimagine happy hour. Any fun activity that you do to signal the end of the workday can be a happy hour.
And hanging out in a bar is far from the only option.
So this summer, we finally got the pool in our new house working.
So some days around 4 p.m., I end work, at least for a while, and take a kid or two into the pool with me.
Especially with the older kids, this can be kind of relaxing.
And it's nice to get outside and enjoy the summer weather.
It's something to look forward to. and a motivator to finish up work as quickly as possible.
It's a happy hour, just in a different sense.
Similarly, there are all sorts of ways to end work on a happy note, especially in summer.
Maybe it's a long bike ride just as the air is getting cooler.
If you bike to work, maybe you can take a slightly less direct way home. and enjoy a little recreational riding, even as you're going from place to place.
Maybe you and a few work friends aim to end work around 4.30 and go for a relaxing walk. before everyone needs to commute home to families and other responsibilities.
Maybe you could check local listings and find some outdoor concerts or fairs.
Stopping by a farmer's market would be a great way to transition out of work, see some fun sights and smells, and pick up something that will make dinner A lot more fun.
Even a regular workout could change up for the summer.
If you are a member of a gym with a pool, you could go swim laps around 4.30 or so as a way to wash away the day's stresses. and still make it home in time to cook dinner.
Convince a few friends to meet you at a board game cafe. and play something with more of a time limit.
I'm not thinking Monopoly here. And you can have a little fun without staying out late.
Life is better when we are intentional about it.
Many people do have some control over their work hours.
And by being organized about getting the big stuff done early and leaving space for things to come up, it is often possible to end at a reasonable hour.
If that is the case, then you might be able to buy yourself 30 to 60 minutes before you need to get started on the rest of your day, at least on some days.
If daycare pickup is at 5.30, you could work right up until 5.20 and race over.
Or maybe you could plan your workday very well, at least on occasion.
End at 4.30 and get over there at 5.20. still earlier than you were going to be there.
And you can enjoy 40 minutes or so for whatever leisure would make you feel most relaxed.
And of course, there's nothing wrong with a more traditional happy hour either.
It might be fun to have a few friends meet at an outdoor space like a beer garden for some summer fun.
The point is intentional socializing and enjoying time.
Summer is a great time to reimagine happy hour.
But the most important thing is to have some happy time after work. whatever that happens to look like.
In the meantime, this is Laura. Thanks for listening.
