There’s a lot of talk about “passive income” and working less. But if the short task was completely soul-crushing and the long task made you feel alive, which would you actually choose? Let’s talk about the value of our time versus the value of our passion.

I’d prefer working for 10 hours doing the job I love. Because 2 hours on a boring work feels like forever, but doing something that you derive joy and happiness from will make you want to work even more harder

I’d lean toward the 10 hours on something I love—but there’s a twist. Loving the work can make long hours feel rewarding, but 10 hours is a lot of time, and burnout could sneak in if it’s non-stop, even for something you enjoy.

I would most definitely prefer to work ten hours a day on a job that I love. I don’t mind putting in many hours of my valuable time, for something that I really enjoy.

Depending on my gain. If the boring task pays more I’ll do it. But if the 10hours is better I’ll go for it
