10 Things I Would Rather Be Doing Instead Of Working!

Monday 18 May 2015



As this goes up, it’s just passed 16:00 on Monday afternoon, and I’ll bet my trusty afternoon slump has well and truly hit. At this stage of the afternoon my motivation disintegrates and no part of me really wants to be sitting in the office, staring at spreadsheet after spreadsheet after spreadsheet.

It usually goes away once I get some Green Tea, and maybe a wee Nature Valley bar, but until then I can think of a million other things I’d rather be doing…


1 – Laying in the sun. Preferably on a blanket on some grass near some water, a lake or river…nowhere near sand though.
2 – Eating ice cream. A wee tub of Maud’s would go down so well right now, especially if No.1 was real life.
3 – Reading a book. This goes hand in hand with Nos. 1 & 2!
4 – Walking through a forest. All quiet and peaceful and beautiful.
5 – Painting my nails. A summery shade, in the hopes of calling down some sunshine.
6 – Getting a haircut. This is a necessity rather than a fun activity, if I’m honest.
7 – Jetting off on holiday. Somewhere amazing & exciting, with all the activities!
8 – Going on a coffee date. It’s the simple things, but anything is better than a Monday in work.
9 – Catching up on TV Shows. Scandal, Chicago PD, Grey’s Anatomy, Criminal Minds…
10 – Colouring in. Yes, I am a child. No, I do not care. Colouring in is amazing, I talked about it here.

Okay, so maybe not a million other things, but those 10 sound like pretty glorious alternatives to me!
