Why Fun Should Be at the Center of Everything We Do
By Richa Jindal Let’s be honest: somewhere between color-coded Notion pages, 8 a.m. lectures and pretending to have a “balanced routine,” most of us forgot what fun even feels like.

Merriam Webster dictionary describes it as “to enter a deep state of focus”, commonly referring to situations in which people need to study or get an important task done.
