What is Work?

Work — our ability to do, create, move and reconfigure things to our liking.

Why is the goal to “work more”?

“The name of the bow (biós) is life (bíos), but its work is death.” – Heraclitus

Ergon‘– the Greek notion of ‘work’. Generally speaking, it means to create. To do more. Even Pavel says:

What is muscle, but the promise of future (more) work being able to do?

Work capacity

Perhaps ‘productivity‘ should just be seen as your ability to do continued creative work, to do it with great zest and gusto with no exhaustion or disgust with what you do.
