I've thought a lot over the years about what makes "work" feel like work for me.
Mindless/reasonless? Yep. Not a fan.
Repetitive? Sure. That's a chore.
Hard? It's better when it's easy, so I'll try to make it easier.
But I think by the far the biggest factor in whether something feels like "work" is when someone is telling me what to do. Suddenly, I don't feel so much like doing it.
Weird, right?
