Rules
I used to live to work, then I just somehow lived but hardly enjoyed it, then I worked to live and I enjoyed it less. Now I live to find work and I also work and it's somewhat manageable, but I'm not happy.
I want to live to work again. I just need the right job.
Yeah, that's similar to my experience. The right job is important. At one point working, for me was so stifling that I even left my country of birth to look for the perfect job culture.
I never found it, but at least the balance has shifted from being depressed to being acceptable of my job no matter how disappointing or discouraging it can be occasionally. But the moment I know it's making me feel that it's nothing but just going through the daily mundane patterns just to live another day, it's time for me to look for another.
Work to live. I need to survive life's daily expenses.
Work to live. But work is draining the ability to live. I wish it were easier to cut back
I guess it depends on how one defines work. If you work with something that uplifts you everyday, would you still feel the same?
Bit of both. I like my job, so I want to do it well. Negative work experiences mean I don't live to work like I used to though
That's similar to my experience. I've reached a point where I need to feel motivated to work, but not for it to be such a chore that sucks my entire life down with it. I know also that not everyone has this luxury.
With work comes people, and with that comes experiences that can be both good and bad - even if the job scope seems to be ideal. So, while I live to work, I also give a reality check and concede that there are times when I need to work unpleasantly to live.
Work to live. I wish I didn't have to work.
I work very little, and am confused what the point is the rest of the time.
I live to block engagement-farming, open-ended question shitposts.
Good job! 😂
