You do not have to earn your joy.
Tiny things. Silly things. Making things badly. Doing something because it feels good and for absolutely no other reason.
JOY WITHOUT A JOB
Somewhere along the way, even our hobbies became productive.
Track it. Improve at it. Monetize it. Post it. Finish it.
No thanks.
Unproductive Joy Factory is an experiment in doing things that have no point beyond I wanted to.
THE FACTORY NOTES
There is, somewhat hilariously, research behind this.
I explore play, creativity, rest, attention, capitalism, productivity culture, and what happens when adults do things simply because they enjoy them.
THAT’S PRETTY MUCH IT.
Make something useless.
Waste some time.
Follow a weird little impulse.
Be delighted by something embarrassingly small.
Joy does not need to become anything else.
