Deep dives
Understanding Life Maintenance Load and Autotelic Activities
Life maintenance load refers to the everyday tasks that consume time and energy, such as food preparation, commuting, errands, and household repairs. These tasks, while necessary, do not contribute to progress or enjoyment and can impede personal growth. Autotelic activities, on the other hand, are intrinsically motivated activities that bring joy and fulfillment, like learning, hiking, or spending time with loved ones. Engaging in autotelic activities drives flow state, enhances focus, and triggers the release of dopamine, leading to increased motivation and engagement.
