When Did Fun Become Something You Had to Earn?

Episode Summary

When did fun become something we had to earn? Somewhere between responsibilities, productivity, and taking care of everything else, fun can start feeling like something we’re only allowed to have after everything is done. But when exactly does that happen? In this episode, Kristine talks about why everything we enjoy doesn’t need to be productive, useful, or turned into an accomplishment—and why “that sounds fun” might be a good enough reason to do something.

Episode Notes

When was the last time you did something simply because it sounded fun?

As adults, we can get so used to measuring how productive, useful, or worthwhile something is that even fun starts needing a purpose. In this episode, Kristine talks about what happens when enjoyment keeps getting pushed behind responsibilities—and why fun doesn’t have to be something you earn after everything else is handled.
