Why should it be work?
Work is what I am paid for. Anything else is either your human needs or hobbies.
I prefer a colleague's response to my question whether he has side projects: I don't like to do the same as I do (at work) here when I am home.
It's an incorrect answer, but at least it doesn't imply side projects are work.
- blub 7y agoNo it's not just what you're paid for, I've already clarified this for two other commenters. Grab a dictionary and you'll see something along "activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result". Unless your side projects have no purpose or goals, they are a form of work and they require effort.
- mk89 7y agoHow is it different from playing music, reading books or DIY hobbies? I don't get it.
