Seems intuitively obvious to me to the point of being a fluff piece.
The article is effectively saying that if your job needs to not be pointless in order for you to do it.
If you go to work every day, don't achieve anything in the wider world, don't save for the future, don't have any plans in general, then you're going to have a bad time.
That's a completely natural response to, well, wasting your entire life if left unchecked.
You can be paid very little but if it allows you to support your family that can be fulfilling.
- tokyodude 8y agoit's not enough for me (yet?) for the job to be useful for society at large. quit a job because altough it was useful I was bored
- Piskvorrr 8y agoGreat qualification in the first sentence: many things that have seemed obvious to me have been hailed as innovative by others - just given the limitations of human mind, this is inevitable. (Could have been summed into one sentence, that much I concede.)
- perfunctory 8y ago> The article is effectively saying that if your job needs to not be pointless... What the article is also saying - work less. And this is not so obvious I assume for most readers.

- pojzon 8y agoAfter 6 years of egineering, ive had to stop and start to learn this skill. I lost the ability to rest without thinking about what i could be doing now.. Having a good life/work balance is very hard in modern age. Team hates you because each time you have to go out to LIVE, they feel like they have to do your job too.. Feeling guilty also sux. But what can you do.
