DO NOTHING, REST...
“Don't fall into the trap of thinking that doing nothing means doing nothing for you.
That being unproductive is unproductive for you.
We've become so accustomed to being busy, so accustomed to doing things with visible results, so accustomed to pacing and recording our activity and crossing things off our to-do lists, that we've forgotten the importance of rest.
"Doing nothing" and being "unproductive" are actually doing something productive.
They're helping you recharge.
Recover.
Reading a magazine or taking a bath or sitting in the garden with a cup of coffee are not wasted time.
Rest time is not wasted time.
We are not machines. We are not robots.
We're not here to work,
move, and do things constantly.
We are human beings.
And sometimes we just need to be”
- Hemsle, B (2023)
