I despise the use of the word "work" here. Basically any activity that you find rewarding and that keeps your body and mind moving will have the same effect.

I.e. getting out of the bed and doing stuff helps you not to become a senile cretin. It doesn't have to be work



Indeed. But for some reason people connect work with self worth. I have that the same with my hobbies but apparently a lot of people do not; it needs to be work to get that same feeling.


The proverbial "protestant work ethic". It may not be codified, but it seems to exist to some degree.
