10 Tips For A Happier Workday
If work’s getting you down, or you just can’t handle Mondays, the ‘hump day’ or waiting for for the weekend to start on Friday, try Brad Isaac’s 10 ways to a happy workday.
10. Be slow to react to other people’s “urgent” requests. When someone else asks you for help, to do a project or to meet some other urgent need, practice saying “what’s your deadline on this? or when do you need this done?” Then schedule that day. Most people when asked one of those questions realize it’s not as urgent and will set a future date. That way, you can go back to working on one of your top 3 activities.
Have you’re own tips to get through the day?

Here are my tips for a happier work day:
1) Talk to the phone only two times a day - between 10 am and 11 am and between 4 pm and 5 pm. In the other time stop the ringtones and forget about it. Phones are evil.
2) Avoid all meetings if possible. They will waste your time and will break your inner balance.
3) Work only on one task at a time.
4) Have a short 15-minutes break every hour. Get out of the office and just walk outside.
5) Outsource all tasks you can.
6) Do only these tasks which you like, others reject or outsource (see 5).).
Regards,
William

@William
I will not argue regarding copyrights, but your tips are the same as Tim Ferriss…
