You know what, OP? Just-- you know what? I… You know what?
Rude.
Now I’m sad
Dude, if you needed to just do nothing for a day, that’s time well spent. You need time to recharge. Your value is not measured in how many tasks you can do.
The problem is if you end up doing nothing while being stressed the whole time. Some people need to do all the things that need doing before they can rest at all.
Then do the things. I’m not saying you’re not allowed to do the things. Just don’t beat yourself up for not doing them.
how about a small collection of weekends?
small… like between 2 and 30…
this neo liberal puritan bs
y’all deserve so much lazyness <3
kill the cop in your head
Apathy and exhaustion are more powerful than ambition.
My ambition is to do as little as possible.
There’s a whole world out there of things to see and feel and just enjoy being in. I want to do nothing at all there.
Not with that attitude
Sometimes doing nothing is all you need
This is my gf and me. I see the weekend as a chance to rest and recover, she sees it as a chance to do all the things she didn’t have time to do.
Same with my partner. We made a compromise that Saturday is a day to do stuff and Sunday I get to relax, while she continues to Get Things Done.
Sounds like you found your wife.
My wife and I are the exact opposite of this.
Oh, I know that conversation. I seem to have it every week.
There is basically nothing wrong with doing nothing and letting the day pass now and then.
That being said, if you don’t keep your mind occupied somehow, it’s not good for your brain in the long term. I’d say the biggest danger of just passing time is that it lets your brain degrade.
It’s especially good to do different activities that stimulate different aspects of your brain. Play a musical instrument or sing regularly. Solve different types of puzzles. Socialize a bit every day. Learn a new language. Exercise. Meditate. Get enough sleep and don’t eat too much trash. These are the things we know that you can do for your brain.
Agreed! I really think it boils down to what John Lennon said: “Time enjoyed wasting is not wasted”.
I interpret it as going beyond enjoyment, it is not beneficial anymore. Actual boredom degrades the brain, but it is also not enjoyed (as you are feeling bored, which is not nice).
I can’t help but see his open mouth and chin lines as a frowning Hitler stache.
Oooh it’s an open mouth!
Too much anything is not good but remember, resting is important. Take care of yourself.
Loved the concept of the angel and the devil agreeing on something <3
The artist forgot to draw him doomscrolling on his phone.
thanks, I’m seizing the day, spent the morning printi stickers and distributing them in cafes/community boards and now I’m doing mutual aid
I want to do nothing but there’s some seasonal event to drive to.
