"This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realise it is play."

Thinking about work/play labels too much recently. Curiously powerful frames. Have fully embraced classifying the hours I spend in as indulgent play, which amplifies the whole experience. Best enjoyed with no end goal and productively equivalent to a Netflix session
Would be curious to hear more about those work/play labels. You may/may not remember that that was my conversation starter at the BASB meetup in London as it applies to second brain principles - the split between work and home brains.

Oh yeah definitely remember the (slightly horrifying) picture you painted of your work restrictions on accessing note apps! Should certainly chat about it next weekend. More of a wider political/philosophical debate but that’s obviously half the point of BASB chats 😁
