Play + Work = “plorkâ€.
Why the word?
I hate this notion of always having to be “workingâ€in order to be virtuous. To me, to play is more virtuous than to work.
When I’m “workingâ€, I’m really playing.
To me, there is no difference between work and play. When I’m blogging, I’m playing. When I’m teaching my workshops, I’m playing. When I am talking with others, I’m playing. When I’m lifting weights, I’m playing. When I write, I play.
“Gamificationâ€
The notion of gamification is interesting:
Transform our work into a game, or play.
But the opposite:
Why not turn our play into our work?
Treat life with fun and play
Don’t take life too seriously. Have fun, play, work— plork!
