Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like you’re taking life a little too seriously? Wake up. Work. Hustle. Repeat. Somewhere along the way, we stopped playing—and started grinding through our days like machines. We were taught that being serious means being responsible. That fun is a distraction.

What If Play Is Actually the Most Important Work You’ll Ever Do?

2 months ago | chasejarvis.com | Chase Jarvis

Hey friends, Chase here. Emails. Deadlines. Chores. Repeat. Somewhere along the way, we traded play for productivity—and we’ve been tired ever since. From a young age, we’re taught that play comes after the work is done. But here’s the catch: the work never ends. So we keep pushing joy to the sidelines. Play isn’t just fun.

Hey friends, Chase here. Ever had that gut feeling—the one whispering that you’re meant for something more? Maybe it nudged you toward a bold move, a creative dream, or a life change you couldn’t quite explain. But then, almost immediately, fear kicked in. “That’s risky.”“What if I fail?”“What will people think?”Here’s the truth: Your gut is rarely wrong.
