Give the time and labour you're paid for, don't give emotional energy.

Short term yes, but long term, life's too short. Pursue FI, especially if you're a craftsman, so you can work on what brings you joy, without an expiration date.

"Cattle, not pets" may be a good way to run a business, but not your life.

Oh on your own projects and personal passions absolutely, I think emotional investment should be high. Not for someone else, though.
