- SamBam 6y agoYou keep saying this like it's an objective fact. It's not. Running a bandsaw 20 times might sound to you like the epitome of boredom. To me, a (poor) woodworking perfectionist (i.e. I'm always trying to make my work furniture-grade, but usually failing) it's an exercise in constant concentration and error-correction. To a master, it can be the epitome of mindfulness.
- CyberRabbi 6y agoAn activity being “mindful” is not the same as an activity being “intellectual stimulating.” I do not consider software engineering mindful in any significant way but I do agree with you that repetitive manual labor is quite mindful.
