Weekly Learnings & Findings
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time
Marthe Troly-Curtin
Like most people, my days are jam-packed with work and responsibilities (for me this would be: shooting and editing videos, writing, researching, planning, coming up with new ideas, etc). While I’m grateful that I get to do the things I love for work, I often feel guilty when I sit down and ‘do nothing’. This could be just sitting down on the deck with a cup of tea, watching movies on a work day, or hanging out and doing nothing with friends or family.
Curtin’s quote made me realize that my ‘wasted’ time is not truly wasted, as long as I enjoy spending them, intentionally. The reason here is three folds:
We’re not a machine - While I value being productive, we’re not a robot in an assembly line working for maximum output. There’s much more to life and it’s also hard to be creative and see the big picture when our mind doesn’t have time to decompress.
The ‘Long Game’ is about staying mentally and physically healthy in the long run. Our health and mind are at the foundation of everything we do, so I figure it is a good idea to treat it as such.
Expanding my universe - For this to happen, I also have to expand how I spend my time, it can’t simply be to-do list A & B. Watching random movies, going on a road trip, walking around my neighborhood, growing tree in my garden, trying new recipes, read new books, the list here is endless. Be open to things and you’ll often be surprised at how it can impact your life.
