Doing Nothing

Quote for the Week

Sometimes, it's good to have a day in which one days nothing. Nada.

Doing nothing has been the subject of interest for centuries. Go back several centuries to Pliny the Younger who said: "That indolent but agreeable condition of doing nothing."

Move forward to one of my favorite movies Office Space. The oddball hero Peter says in the beginning that he wants a day when he does absolutely nothing. After he has had such a day, he tells his friends: "I did nothing, and it was everything I thought it would be."

Have you had the luxury of a day in which you had no demands on your time and energy? If not, maybe you should plan such a day.

Takeaway Truth

Try doing nothing today. Bet it makes you feel relaxed and unwinds the stress.
