Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving by Celeste Headlee

reflective medium-paced

4.0

Probably one of my favorite "self help" books of the year (not that I read a ton). I really felt like I needed to hear and reflect on the idea of doing nothing. I chronically feel guilty for when I have idle time and am always looking for things to do. Even when being "lazy" I fill my time with completing shows (as a task) or reading books (to reach my goals). Turning these ideally fun activities into tasks has made it hard to enjoy my time that should be spent relaxing. This is likely something I will need to continue to work on but I feel like as the year is ending and I make plans for the upcoming year- finding time to be at peace and leisure is something I will have in the forefront of my mind.
