Value is contextual. My Macbook laptop has a lot of value to me while working.
But has very little value when I want to enjoy time in nature.
Where, when, what I am doing, who I am doing it with, all seem to matter a lot.
Some ideas on creating value
Take what is unenjoyable and go through the process of making it enjoyable.
The process of making an unenjoyable thing an enjoyable one is the process of creating value.
Your job is to transform context. What matters is the shift in context.
Where the old context is lost and a new one is created. An enjoyable one! A valuable one.
