A few quotes about nothing. I tend to plan to be always doing something. Feeling guilty about wasting time or missing out has a lot to do with it.

Any thoughts?

ReplyDeleteHere are my two favourite quotations on this topic --
ReplyDelete"Time is precious. Waste it wisely."
and
"How lovely it is to do nothing, and then rest afterwards."
I am on the other end of the spectrum, John - I have to make myself do the things I need to do. Too bad people couldn't trade bits of their personalities with each other until they were more balanced!
