Play is type 1 fun: fun in the moment.
People also love type 2 fun. It's not fun in the moment, but you're happy that you did it.
If your work is type 1, more power to you. A lot more falls under type 2's umbrella. I find writing to be type 2 more often than not. Making complicated designs is often not fun in the moment. I like exercise, but sprint workouts are type 2.
