And I do feel that there is a reason behind this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s been about six months since I joined Spacebar as a content writer in Mumbai. I remember my interview taken by Alpana wherein we talked for a long time about the job requirement and my qualifications and other stuff. Then she went on to tell me <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious-old\/blogs\/What-its-like-to-work-at-Spacebar\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how life is at Spacebar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. She explained the flexible timings, the holidays, the work requirements and then finally she mentioned something about how the Fridays are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fridays at Spacebar is when we have our weekly activity. Now you may wonder that as a content writer, the activity will have something to do with content writing, marketing, social media, etc. But you are mistaken! Our Friday activities are anything but work. The whole genius idea behind our Friday activity is to forget about work for that one hour and enjoy each other\u2019s company without discussing work. This results in more focus on work and a refreshed thought process to\u00a0work better.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1686\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1686\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1686\" src=\"https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Work-Fun-meme-2.gif\" alt=\"content writer work fun\" width=\"640\" height=\"266\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1686\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fun with work<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3oEjHCjgw4XMxXNLYQ\/giphy.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3oEjHCjgw4XMxXNLYQ\/giphy.gif<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these few months, I have seen a variety of Friday activities hosted by each employee at Spacebar, every week. The fun part is that the person who hosts the activity will tag another person to host the activity next week, giving a whole week\u2019s time to the other person to come up with a crazy activity. From funny movie charades to quizzes, from quick skits to decoration making, we have done some pretty nifty activities over the past few months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it may seem like a task to remove that one hour from your busy day of work to do something silly with your colleagues, I feel that this one hour of activity is what is making the whole team of Spacebar a strong one. It is not only enhancing the communication and relation we have with each other but also giving us an outlet to let go of our work worries and come back with a rested brain pace to work even better.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1683-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Christmas-2.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Christmas-2.mp4\">https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Christmas-2.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious-old\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spacebar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we believe in bringing fun to our work and enjoy it rather than looking for ways to run away from work. This is one feeling which is mutual among all of us. And why not? Writing is something that all of us at Spacebar love and adding fun in writing with Friday activity definitely makes work non-existent. Eventually what remains is our love for writing, which every content writer in Mumbai craves for.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you wake up in the morning and feel like going back to bed?
