### "chore", "job", "task", "labor" vs. "play", "entertainment",
"amusement", "hobby"? Note the connotations of seriousness and
possibly usefulness with the former and the association of the latter
with frivolity. There are occasional diversions that are useful and
lots of jobs that can be useless but overall if you want usefulness
and productivity you are talking about jobs, not fun and games.
