Doing something you enjoy at times of your own choosing and making a living from it: now tell me, is that work?

Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.

Work is making a living out of being bored.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

A conclusion I’ve come to at the Idler is that it starts with retreating from work but it’s really about making work into something that isn’t drudgery and slavery, and then work and life can become one thing.

Labour-saving devices just make us try to cram more pointless activities into each day, rather than doing the important thing, which is to enjoy our life.
