Do you ever feel unmotivated by the monotony of the work week and wish you could have a little more fun at work? Well, this episode is for you! Risa Williams talks to Dr. Alexis Hope, co-founder of Focused Space, about how to find the fun in your work week again. They discuss different tricks for getting yourself to focus in fun new ways when you're feeling unmotivated and stuck on what you need to do.

They discuss:

-Risa's Hats Method from Get Stuff Done Without the Stress: How to switch between roles you have to do intentionally to help you be more present in the moment

-Alexis' "Foot Bath Method" for focusing on computer tasks that sounds as funny/fun as it is

-How connection and body-doubling often help people focus and find accountability in finishing projects and tasks

-How working on things with people you like or in positive support groups can give you that fun boost to get through things

**Risa often partners with Focused.space to do workshops and talks, check them out for body-doubling sessions!**

**And if you're in Los Angeles this Saturday, come to Village Well Bookstore in Culver City on May 24th at 6 PM and say hi to Risa! She'll be part of a local authors' night book signing and she'll be signing copies of Get Stuff Done Without the Stress and her new kids' book, Max and The Imaginary Tree!**

**Congratulations to Stephanie Van Schaick, winner of the double book giveaway contest @risawilliamstherapy - Stay tuned for more giveaways soon!**
