My Office Olympic Event:

I’d compete in the “Time Course Challenge” - where my goal is to finish every task and project right on time! ⏰ Whether it’s wrapping up a task in exactly 45 minutes or hitting that perfect deadline for publishing a post, I’m always racing the clock.

My secret strategy? I’m constantly setting timers and challenging myself to beat the clock, making sure I get things done before the assigned time. It keeps me sharp, focused, and just a little bit competitive with every deadline! 🏃✨

Now it’s your turn! What’s your gold medal event? Comment below! ⬇️

I’d go for the “Tab Triathlon” — juggling between Wrike, design files, and messages without losing focus or closing the wrong tab! 🥇 My secret? Organized chaos and a lot of coffee. ☕💻

Fabio Bartolini

I’d win gold in The Last-Minute Sprint! I always remember one more task right before logging off… and Wrike becomes my finish line as I rush to update it just in time ahah

Fleur Komen

Using GIFs solely as a way of communication

Heather Hernandez

I would win as the giver of gold stars - a monthly award I made up myself!

Ali Moses

Office chair races!

Anna Giacobbe

The Coffee Cup Relay

I'd win the gold medal for having finished the most coffees before 9 am 🤪☕

Gabriel Stangl-Riehle

Proud gold medalist of the “Reply-All Relay”!

In this event, competitors must navigate a confusing email thread, craft the perfect response, and—most importantly—avoid hitting Reply All by accident. Precision, dexterity, and nerves of steel are key.

Alyssa Spangenberg

Finding the perfect GIF in record time to achieve optimal comedic effect.

Dan McCullough

I would win some sort of "Where's Waldo" award for being able to find documents that other people have trouble locating. I don't know how but I have a special knack for finding specific requested files.

Danielle Wilson

I would take the gold in the "Cleanest Inbox." My folder skills are top notch! It pains me to see co-workers inbox with so many unread emails!

Daniel Añez

Taking gold for approving tasks, making it look so easy! Just clicking that approve button 10 - no emails needed 10 - automation sending project to next stage 10 - all images to review in one place 10 - no confusion about responsibilities.

Sherrie Besecker

For me - the Distraction Gauntlet - let's just say with as many cats as I have and a whole lot of crazy things coming at me from work - it's juggling all things to get things done right!!

Florian Kislich

Finding typos in publications

Kirsten Gross

Project juggling, for sure

Michelle Hammond

My event is the Balance Beam -- I walk that narrow line with travel mug, phone, and glasses in one hand; laptop and work bag balanced perfectly in the other. Never an item dropped, never a drop spilled. Somehow it always gets to the conference room on time, and I'm always BEAMING.

Elloa Davis

I would get the gold in Team Building (aka "mandatory fun.") I am a huge proponent of mandatory fun, laughing together, getting outside the usual routine.

Eric Fiero

PowerPoint formatting for sure. Folks come to me for reformatting their slides into proper alignment the most.

Jeffrey Bond

Email Drafting Under Pressure and Spreadsheet Gymnastics

Brian Bulthuis

If there were Olympics for office skills, the event I’d take home the gold medal in would be Gantt Chart Gymnastics! Shifting tasks and readjusting timelines to keep up with ever-changing project milestones—while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing Gantt waterfall—is my superpower!

Kelly St Cyr

If there were an Olympic event for office skills, mine would be the Marketing Multitask Marathon. I’m deeply involved in various facets of our marketing operations and collaborate closely with all of our marketing teams.

Steve Mruskovic

I'd enter the Scope Creep Taming competition. That's for those with the ability to quickly identify scope creep and negotiate reasonable deadlines and compromises on deliverables.

Shelly Erickson

The Great Color Code-Off ... as I color code it all!

John Egleston

My gold metal 🥇event: Tool Matchmaker Triathlon

I get to pair teams with the right productivity tools while navigating organizational politics. I win (at least sometimes) by maximizing value without overcomplicating things.

Amber Barber

I'd definitely win gold in Random Helpful Knowledge - my boss and entire team come to me when they can't find an answer or are stuck, regardless of the system. Error message? Amber knows what it means. Better way to do something in google workspace - yep, Amber already figured it out. Applies to personal life too, except my kids who never ask.

Sherri Smith

I would compete in the Streamlined Single-Touch sport by consistently identifying ways to simplify processes and keep teams focused on doing what they do best.

Florian Gascho

I'd also win a Coffee Cup Rally.

Most Coffees throughout the day

Nikos Taskos

I’d enter the “Force Reminder Relay” 🔔
Timed alerts that keep every task, meeting, and deadline in balance. No reminder escapes my watch!!

The Force is strong with this one 🌌🥇

Christy Flater

I’d go for gold in the “Priority Pentathlon.” It’s a five-event sprint through shifting deadlines, competing requests, last-minute surprises, and the occasional fire drill, all while keeping projects moving and communication clear.

Ryan Holmquist

It would either be finding the appropriate GIF to respond with without typing a response, creating a meme to make people laugh, or, the typing triathalon (typing an email, tabulating numbers in the calcuator app, and filling in fields in a spreadsheet)

Daisy Hibbard

I'd compete in a "Wheel Greaser" competition. You know, keeping operations running smoothly by cross-collab'ing with various departments, making sure everyone has clear requirements and understands the work, racing against the clock to get blockers un-stuck for teammates, and leading scope change negotiations to keep critical work on track.
