I wanted to write a post about how we are wasting valuable time. But when I read it I decided to delete it in favor of this:

What we call wasting time is good for us.

Taking a long walk. Looking out the window. Listening to music without doing anything else. Reading a book about an odd subject that has nothing to do with work. Learning a new skill just for fun. Having a conversation about nothing important at all. Not wondering if the day was well spent.

If we did something along those lines, it secretly was.
