I was thinking, wouldn't it be nice if your job was your hobby. It would be great to just spend my time doing things that I just really enjoy doing all the time. Unfortunately in the world of work this just doesn't tend to happen.
I bet you are wondering why I came up with this. Well I have been sat in the office this morning and was thinking, it's a lovely sunny day and I wish I could just go out for an hour and come back later without everyone asking where i went and what I was doing. Get some fresh air and then go back to my work. Unfortunately things like this aren't looked kindly upon. Personally I know i would be more productive and would be more alert as a result.
If I had my own company I think I would try to employ people who find their work as more of a hobby than work and to have a very informal work environment where results are expected but they can do the hours they want whenever they want. At university as a student I tended to find that the majority of good students with high grades worked in this way and i often wonder why businesses don't adopt it. I am guessing there are too many regulations around working times and being in the office on your own (health and safety risks). It is such a shame really.
