Work Is Play

What if work was play?

In his novel, The Humans, author Matt Haig gives this piece of advice for humans: in your mind … change the name of work to play.

Too simple?

An unserious take?

Or, is this getting us to the heart of things?

After all, work is a made up construct. And, if we were to admit it, we might realise that we’re really only playing at the game of work.

I wonder how switching our own mindset — at least — might allow us to hold all of the stress and intensity of work a little lighter. I wonder how it might even be a little more enjoyable and fulfilling.

As the new working week begins, I wonder if we should try it and see?!
