Work Less, Have More Fun

Work Less, Have More Fun
So long as we can get our basic needs met, part time work, job sharing, and other means of spending fewer hours in paid employment can free hours for creative endeavors, family and community, and just plain fun. Instead of waiting for some future retirement, we can make space to do the things we love and care about now.

Instead of: ''fraying of our social fabric due to lack of time for family and community and a stagnant economy pairing burnout of some with unemployment and enforced underemployment of others. ''
