I think we need to find a new word. I think the concepts of labor/work/effort are too tangled in English, and they all tie to the Abrahamic "by the sweat of your brow" ethic, wherein activities are difficult to "test our spirits" or some such, and therefore we're not supposed to overcome or avoid the difficulty.
Making a word would be okay too, but making new words and getting them used is hard; there's a lot of inertia to overcome.
