A Productful Labor Day
I never exactly know how to answer the question “what are you doing this weekend.” The answer I think people want to hear has something to do with beaches, concerts, bars, parties or some other escape from work. I am afraid of the strange looks I would get if I were to answer truthfully that I am really looking forward to getting some work done. I am not talking about yard work or chores, the work I do on the weekends usually has to do with building a website and working through some of my crazy ideas. So rather than explain how much I enjoy working on the weekend I usually just say I am doing “nothing.” So it should come as no surprise that on Labor Day I am really enjoying my labor.
There is a good post on Seth Godin’s blog today that talks about how the definition of “work” has changed over time. He says “More and more people are lucky enough to have a gig like mine… work you’d do even if you didn’t have to, even if you didn’t get paid to do it.” I couldn’t have said it better. Happy Labor Day.
