You Gotta Have Some Fun Once in a While
I’m normally the kind of person who works his ass off everyday.
I believe in putting in more effort than the other guys. Grinding it out to get on top. Just a raw higher number of hours of blood, sweat and tears.
But you know what?
Sometimes you just gotta have some fun.
What are you working for? The sheer purpose of work? Or is there actually something you enjoy, that you’d like to do more often?
Why not… you know… just do it sometimes?
All work and no play makes Billy a dull boy.
I love playing League of Legends. I’ve been playing for years. It just never gets old. (I’m trying to learn how to play Jhin — it’s going pretty well so far, just went 12/4.)
Video games have been a huge part of my life since the first time I clicked a mouse back in 1995.
Some people have the problem of not working enough. For you, I recommend working more. But for those of us who work non-stop (how many hours did I work again? 80? 100?) I’d tell you to chill out with a TV show, video game, guitar, or whatever else you love and just enjoying yourself for a while.
I played League for 3 1/2 hours today. Normally I’d be really down on myself for slacking off so much, but today an old friend of mine was playing. I splurged a bit and had a blast wasting a few hours I could have spent writing. And I’m OK with that.
Taking time out of the day for yourself is crucial to staying happy. What’s the point of working, if you don’t ever get to experience the fruits of your labor?
Just make sure you get right back to it when you’re done!
