Slow. It. Down.

Yesterday was a good example of why this 'Do It Every Day' blog challenge is a bad idea - I had nothing of any worth to write about, but I was so determined to keep my record going that I just put up a shitty little paragraph about nothing. I wrote about what I was doing, just to do it, and I was only doing it, so I could write about it.
What a waste of everyone's time.

Strangely enough, I was chatting to someone the other day about 'wasting time' and what actually fits under that title and what doesn't. For her - whose name was Sarah - any minute where she isn't rushing around taking life head on is an example of wasted time. I said I understood that sentiment, but said that in my experience, racing around trying to do too much is, in itself, a waste of time, because you're not making the best use of the seconds, minutes and hours before you, you're too busy spending them chasing achievements and trying to 'do' too much. Sometimes, I concluded, simply doing nothing is the best use of time that there is.
She didn't agree, but that's up to her. She's far more likely than I am to end up with a duodenal ulcer or a breakdown, so good luck to her, she's entitled to her own opinion and her own way of life, and the consequences will be hers to deal with.

That was a load of old waffle, but has hopefully been more interesting reading than my efforts yesterday!
