If I could do any job I wanted for just one day, I would be a professional daydreamer, but with one twist. My daydreams come true. You’re probably wondering how that could be useful to the world, so let me explain.
For my actual job, I spend a lot of time learning about people’s jobs. I’ve interviewed people, visited where they work, searched the web, and had everyday experiences with workers when I go shopping or call customer service.
For a bit of variation in my job, I would be a professional daydreamer for a day. I would daydream of ways to improve people’s jobs. For lazy people and job haters, I’d devise tech to help them get tasks done. Poof! All they have to do is report for duty and work is accomplished. Customers and bosses are happy and there is an excellent safety record.
On the other hand, I’d daydream of ways to help overachievers and job lovers. They would accomplish tasks in their sleep and double their productivity with the help of tech and elves.
And of course, for people who like their job but don’t want it to take more than a certain number of hours per day, I would find similar ways to make their day go faster and easier.
For everyone on my daydreaming day, work gets done. In the end, it’s not about job satisfaction and getting finishing tasks. We want more than just to exist. So my dream job for a day would be to make everyone’s day go much more smoothly.
