…it contains the word dead.
Maybe we could be a bit easier on ourselves and call it a finish line instead, with all the sports, racing, and success connotations that go along with it.
In like manner, instead of ploughing through a pile of reports, we could maybe just breeze through them.
Language is one of the many ways we create our mental model of the world and, as noticed in the linguistic arena, language is pliable and we can reframe our experiences through different uses of language.
With this in mind, we could stop insisting on ‘working hard’ or ‘doing the hard work‘ to achieve something and just work.
This might make things a bit easier, getting us to the ‘finish line‘ with a little less stress, a little more motivation and maybe, a little more fun and enjoyment along the way as the ‘working hard’ versus ‘work’ images linked above illustrate.
