Monday Madness: Mental Health Days

“You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.” – Neil “Casual Business and not vice versa” W.’s Yelp Profile

I had a boss who used to call these days “mental health days”. Mental health days were days that you could take off and spend in bed if you wanted or meet your colleagues at the nearby Chili’s for El Presidente Margaritas – which were normally two for one. We found these days motivating and good breaks from busy work schedules. Over El Presidente Margaritas, we usually came up with some pretty good business ideas, so they weren’t totally wasted days.

Do you ever get moments like these? What are they like and what do you decide to do with the rest of your workday? Why do you suppose you get them?
