I do think the anarchists have the right idea with this one and everybody should rotate like 2-3 months of the year doing critical hard labor like this. No, your ordinary work is not "too valuable" for you to be exempted from it. If you don't experience the work that goes into maintaining the basic conditions of your modern existence it's easy to become ungrateful and alienated from the material realities of your society.

This is a pipe dream to even try to figure out how you would coordinate it but I've thought for a long time it would be cool to do office work half the week and actually work a trade thenother half.

Would deffinitly help with burnout to not be doing the exact same job every day for decades.

The challenge would be making sure everybody got a decent wage through it which would basically require getting rid of wages.
