In the optimisation era, we forgot how to have fun. And when we did, it needed to be tracked, earned and made up for. I know I’m not alone in going through a strange & relieving period of de-optimisation lately. Of realising that actually when I treat myself more like the complex, multi faceted human I am who requires socialisation, play & adventure, I’m not only happier and more fulfilled, but I usually function better in a work capacity. Without fun, we dampen creativity, spontaneity & self expression. When optimisation is taken to an extreme, we lose sight of why we even cared about optimising ourselves in the first place…for a better & more meaningful time here for ourselves & humanity!
