The only thing I care about is what you do outside 9 to 5
A good ratio of exploration and exploitation
Projects:
All the rest will come from that. I strongly believe that we are only what we do. And oftenly what we're doing outside 9 to 5 is what I define as holistic work.
Definition
Work : Activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.
Holistic : characterized by the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole.
Starting from those definitions, I define holistic work as any activity when the body, the mind, the soul and the results are interconnected without having the possibility to explain it. Some people will talk about the flow state to descrbe such a thing the japanes go sometimes with the kokoro.
Nevertheless, people have to pay attention and look at a lot of parameters to judge such work. Boys burning generational money in a restaurant look exactly the same as a women celebrating the opening of an hospital for children in a third world country. Life is full of bias and only looking at what the body is doing is not enough. Knowing the mind and the soul is key to understand the work. This is a quick introduction to my concept of holistic work. I will write more about it in the future.
