Why Playing Video Games is Good for Your Business and Your Employees
As it becomes increasingly clear that remote work will remain a mainstay of how we do business, maintaining a healthy work/life balance is becoming more difficult, and more necessary, than ever before. As the line between work and life continues to blur, it is becoming crucially important that people spend time doing activities outside of the office that keep them engaged and motivated at work.
Having a breadth of interests and activities that occupy your time is bound to have a positive impact on your wellbeing, whether it simply distracts from office woes or is genuinely joyful. We know there are well-documented benefits to maintaining a healthy and fulfilling life outside of the office, but there are hobbies and activities that go beyond improving this balance and actually help you improve your performance at work.
I’m not talking about an average hobby used to relax and unwind after a long work day like watching television (although the relaxing effect can help make you a better and more efficient business person). Rather, I’m talking about activities that present a challenge — ones that require commitment, perseverance and skill development to be properly enjoyed.
