The Mary Poppins Principle: Find the Fun and Snap! the Job’s a Game
By Dr. Scott Zarcinas, Founder 818: Unlocking Your Life
Let me share something surprising I’ve noticed in my coaching practice:
The most successful people aren’t necessarily the most serious.
They try to find the fun in work by reframing challenges as games.
They enthusiastically embrace ‘The Mary Poppins Principle’:
“You find the fun and snap! The job’s a game”.
But The Mary Poppins principle isn’t about trivialising important work;
It’s about finding that playful perspective, just like a child who resists walking but will happily race you to the corner.
When you find joy in the process, you transform work into play.
Why not try The Mary Poppins Principle for a day and watch it bring joy to your work?
