Facing burnout? Sleep deprived? Fine Jewelry Artist Jacqueline Stone gets it. And recommends an antidote of FUN!
—
Scrolling through Instagram the other day I came across Mashable’s call to action about #AFWD2015. I was immediately intrigued.
Right now it’s 12 hour days (all you fellow entrepreneurs can relate) of sketching and creating as I prepare to launch a new jewelry collection. This was a much welcomed reprieve! A call to action that requires fun?! It was perfect timing since my dear friend Amy had recently asked, after patiently listening to me complain about burnout, “Where is time for fun in your schedule? What happened to fun?” I couldn’t have said it better myself.
So I went in for some fun. Here’s my round-up of my favorites. The hashtag is currently trending. I’m so excited to see what next year brings! I’d like to give a huge thank you to Randall Ham. Thank you for reminding us all not to take ourselves so seriously.

*Take Your Action Figure to Work Day was started in 2014 by Randall Ham. Ham inadvertently created the holiday by posting Instagram images of his Variant New Teen Titans White Raven action figure doing various tasks around his office. — Photo: Author’s own #AFWD2015 Composition
