One potential path is to redefine what we think of as 'work'. That word is almost always used to refer to the types of things you can attach a monetary value to. Truth is, though, there's an awful lot of work that gets left out of the definition. Raising kids is work - hell, being pregnant is work. Caring for relatives is work. Growing stuff in your garden is work. Learning new skills is work. Caring for the environment - everything from land management to rewilding to picking up litter - is work. Running social clubs, talking to your neighbors, and generally participating in society is work, particularly when it's so easy to just look at a screen.

Obviously, saying that we simply need to change the way everything thinks is a bit pie in the sky. But I think it's a serious tactic to try to employ. We're letting the capitalists define what 'useful work' is, and we're hurting for it.
