《The Lost Art of Doing Nothing》

Introduction:

Don’t you think it’s time for a break? Plagued – as we are – by non-stops pings and notifications, we have lost the knack of zoning out. Slacking off. Even when pandemic induced lockdowns forcibly cleared out calendars, many who I’m free! Filled their days with Netflix and doom-scrolling. How can we reclaim our free time (planned or not) to truly rest and reset?

The Dutch have it figured out: with niksen. Perhaps their-best kept lifestyle secret, niksen is the art of doing, well, nothing. It’s the opposite of productivity, and it’s incredibly good for your mind, body, creativity, and wallet.
