The problem with modern work and the associated burnout is that it's so monoculture. This is fundamentally at odds with the natural human experience.

Work is typically performed to achieve some end result. Either an outcome or a material gain.

Until relatively recently in human existence the work performed to derive the output was varied and specific to the desired outcome.

For example: I want to eat carrots. I plant carrots. I want a shed. I build a shed. etc.

Now all work passes through the same point. Perform professional duties. Collect money. Buy outcome.

I get that it's not efficient to do many of these things but from a human fulfillment perspective there's a lot to be gained by doing them yourself.

The Task: "Variety is the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor."

~ William Cowper
