Why do backbreaking labor outside when one can sit comfortably in a cool office staring at a screen? Because meaningful labor is invigorating, even in simulation.
- visakanv 11y agoYes. I have often surprised myself with how much I enjoy seemingly menial things like cleaning my windows and restringing my guitars, once I get over the initial pain of starting. Making a real difference to yourself, your living environment, your context, your peers, etc– can be incredibly rewarding. The equivalent at work would be when you can see a very clear relationship between your actions and the benefit your actions have on your customers and the rest of your team.
