Striking a balance between work and play is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. PSFK.com understands this system, and they do an amazing job of reminding us to stay creative day-to-day. But if we're not fortunate enough to be reminded to stay playful, to exercise, or to go out on the weekends, we can easily fall into a monotonous rut.

Every day, we take on the roles and act out the duties required by the particular time and place, switching back and forth between our playful, goofy selves, and the busy working person that puts the food on the table. Making sure we get the best of both worlds is a way to stay sane, healthy, and motivated. But what if we reframe our thinking, and incorporate these two worlds- the playful and the working- into one, integrated existence?

We live in a multi-dimensional reality. One filled and manipulated by different social forces, physical structures, and individual experiences.

We live in one world. One that has the potential to be productive, meaningful, and fun all at once.

Let's blur the lines between work and play, and drop the restrictive ways of thinking that all to often blind our own creative, and fruitful potentials.
