work
My refusal to draw a distinction between the kinds of work I do may occasionally cause problems (insecurity about 'doing the right thing' or 'working enough' or feeling unnecessarily defensive, for example), but in the long run I find that seeing things holistically feeds my work (of all kinds), makes me more inventive, gives me energy, and shows me the way everything is, in the end, connected.
More new places I'm looking these days--
I've been writing some words for my dissertation, wandering around town, making more small watercolors, reading books and articles and poems, and making many plans. All work. All good. All useful.

I wish I could come up with a way to work holistically. My different pursuits seems to be so opposite, though.
What about when you think holistically and your brain doesn't work properly? When I get ill (like the past two weeks) I can't work. But, I think I agree that holistic thinking is generally more productive (at least that's what I have to believe too).
Hope everything else is well.

yes, when i get sick (or hormonal) i tend to find i don't do certain kinds of work as well. but for me part of the holism thing is being able to say, oh, okay, THIS is the lind of work i need to be doing/my body and brain are asking me to be doing right now. not so much always-doing-everything as being aware that all the things i do are connected and interweaving and mutually useful. and knowing there's a time for everything and being aware of those cycles.
