laziness, work and time

OK, I'll admit it. I am a bit lazy. But that's not the reason whywork.org is one of my links. I would certainly rather sit around at home playing with the kids than working my ass off for $13 an hour at some mindless task, but that's because I hate mindless work and I love my kids. I am definately a homebody. I love my home, and want to spend as much time here as possible. But I'm also a little lazy. I'd rather sit on the Net or do some sort of intellectual task than go for a walk. I have to find more balance in that regard.

Maybe I'd feel differently about work if I had a job I was absolutely passionate about. But even working your (well paid) ass off to make someone else rich has never sounded to me like the Marxian paradise :) But I've just never been career focussed enough to ever get to that point anyway. And in many ways I'm paying the price for that. On the other hand I'm also reaping the rewards of that decision (or lack of it).

It's always going to be one of those issues isn't it. Money vs time. How to get lots of both is the goal as far as I can see. Or at least enough of both. I've got nearly enough of both, so I suppose in the end I'm not doing too badly.
