Having fun when the topic we work on is... not. Easier said than done. We all faced to that kind of situation many times. And it may happen again. So it's all about how we approach those situations.
Albert Einstein said "Creativity is when intelligence having fun". It's more than a "cool quote" from the internet. Creativity really works that way, when you feel you... don't work. It's about to put youself in another mindset. I do believe, on most of projects, there's a benefit we can take away, a lesson we can learn from. No one can pretend to learn a new thing. So what ever our ages, what ever our projects, there's someting we can take away.
Sometimes, we might think it's not interesting at all, there's nothing to learn. Well, let’s remember Steve Jobs said: "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something, your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever". So, even when we don't see what we can learn, the version of ourselves tomorrow will.
In Thai culture, there's an interesting concept which is "Sanuk". It's about striving to achieve satisfaction & pleasure, having fun from whatever they do.
So, let's switch our mindset from "I work" to "I have fun".
