"Civilisation has reduced the workman to such a skinny and pitiful existence, that he scarcely knows how to form a desire for any life much better than that which he now endures perforce. It is the province of art to set the true ideal of a full and reasonable life before him, a life to which the perception and creation of beauty, the enjoyment of real pleasure that is, shall be felt to be as necessary to man as his daily bread."
William Morris
Art brings pleasure to the person who purchases the goods and the craftsman who makes them.
Outsource/mechanize the unpleasurable, but do as much of the entire process yourself at least once.
Orchestrate things so that you do what you like.
