Dolce Far Niente: Why you should drop everything today and do nothing

Sometimes doing nothing is much needed to just take a break from everything else, and give our minds a rest. As they say in Italian, “dolce far niente”: the sweetness of doing nothing. Giving the mind something to think about through a good movie or a good book can be what you need to just let things go for a while. Especially if you do love what you’re doing there’s a big risk of always working, and that will just a quickly burn you out as working in a job you didn’t love. Take care of yourself, and allow yourself some “me time” regularly, with no emails, phone calls or other unimportant distractions.
Whatever you’re working on – forget about it for the rest of the day, and create something. Something useful. Something you care about.
P.S. No pressure, but if this post helped you in any way, please consider buying me a coffee to keep me going. Thanks!
