A quest to untie us from "work-worship"

What's this all about?

A quest to untie us from "work-worship"

I write you these notes hoping to resolve two personal troubles:

  • My own workaholism

  • My dissatisfaction with culture’s depiction and approach to work, which I’d sum up as “work-worship.”

As I don’t have answers, we’ll figure this out together—I’ll share my notes, and you share yours.

My only “creds”:

  • I work in a notoriously invasive, workaholic industry,  driven by client-service (possibly the worst incentives for any healthy boundaries).  Until I finally break out, I shall continue taking daily swims in the densest waters of work-worship, to boot pretending that I love it.  Dispatches from that life could be of value to you, and a way to keep me sane.

  • A filmmaker in my personal time, I’ve been developing a web show that touches upon many aspects of our work culture, so for years I’ve been regularly reading and thinking about it.   Broadly, I hope to focus my creative energies toward countering all the work-worship assumptions that our media (including films and shows I love) incessantly beat into us.

These notes will initially focus on questions and theories before hopefully graduating into insights and, dare I dream, even practical suggestions for creating a less work-centered culture.

Thank you, and enjoy!
