Labor, Work and Activity
toil is the active force that sustains life, the labor of the body closely linked to metabolism and consumption, leaving nothing behind as a product.
work is an active force that leaves behind as an outcome an object of relative durability, as indicated by the fact that work is both a verb meaning to do work and a noun meaning a work.
activity is speech and action between people, an active force that absolutely needs others, a response to the fact that humans are plural.
Kumiko Yano, "Hannah Arendt.", Chuko Shinsho, pp.146~147

I don't think MECE.
There can be activities to earn a living by conversing with others.
