22 Things to Bring Fun Back to Your Workplace

ADVERTISEMENT

The average Western guy spends around 99,117 hours at work during his lifetime, according to recent statistics. That”s the equivalent of 11 and a half years of solid slog. [1]

Your office is like your second home, so it’s probably a good idea to make it fun and cozy.

Some big and well known companies may have incredibly creative offices (remember Google Office in Zürich?), but not all of us have such good employers, so the only thing left is to create good working environment yourself.

To help you do that, we’ve picked 23 quirky and creative things which will bring fun and inspiration back to your workplace.

Oh, and don’t forget to tell us what you chose!
