When you work, work. When you rest, rest. When you play, play. If any of these mix you end up just dinking around. Often times we find ourselves resting while at work. But for the majority of us our jobs are not as hard as they could be. We go into them half-ready because we aren't rested. Our rest isn't rest  - it's finishing errands or staring at Facebook or watching TV. We confuse our rest with our play. Playing has some physical or mental effort that goes into it. Our brains our stimulated.  I don't think anyone would describe Facebook or at least the wasteful part of TV time as fun. But it costs us some rest.  It's not really fun but it costs us our play time anyways. So we never play. We don't ever play so we try to do it while we rest and it doesn't work. That costs us our rest so we try to rest while we work. Things don't go well at work so things don't get done, we make mistakes, and then we complain. How much can we complain if we are really just dinking around?
