There are two cases for work. Either work has value or it does not. To understand this, we must know what the trade-offs or reasons are for working. Most people view work as the trade-off for income.
Work = time sacrificed/lost, which yields income
Less work means more time, but less income. And vice versa.
Let’s take the belief that work has value. If it does, then we would be more than willing to sacrifice the time. We no longer care about the results (income) of work, for we are passionate and believe in what we do. And since we are working hard, we would still typically receive the level of income we desire.
Problem solved.
Now let’s take the belief that work itself has no value. If this is the case, then we want to work as little as possible in order to obtain the income we desire. But why do we have to sacrifice our time? We value time, not work.
So what if we could determine a way to raise income, without sacrificing our time in what we would label work?
