How much of your activity is just soul destroying chores or external demands and how much of it involve doing something that engages you and that you like (even the challenging stuff)?

I read about the aristocrats of the past who were sometimes referred to as "men of leisure". But even today the term "person of leisure" is used.

It does not refer to a person who is lazy and only does easy things. It refers to a person whose wealth and privilege free them from the demands of daily survival so they can pursue things they enjoy.

Anyway, how do you deal with the stuff you simply have to do (that you don't like doing) so that you are free to do the stuff you like?
