Achieving deadlines while having fun with work partners, or colleagues on those boring, dreadful working weekends. Possible?
We shouldnât be working on weekends at all. But thatâs an ideal world.
Sometimes, you give in and deadlines or excessive work takes over.
How do you actually make it interesting, or get past it, making it an event in your own right with your colleagues; your Hobbes?
Or simply, alter the way you perceive the situation.
Blending contemporary psychological research and flavoured with the power chemistry of Calvin and Hobbes (by Bill Watterson), this oneâs a super short episode to help you get past a working weekend.
Learn more about the self-determination theory and its 3 key pillars, namely:
1.    Autonomy
2.    Competence
3.    Relatedness
Note: Creative liberties taken to blend the comic strip with workplace situations.
