Combating the culture of productivity by doing nothing. My definition of doing nothing? Literally doing nothing, or doing things that have no productive value to society. #donothing #anti-productivity #resist

I love this quote from Matt Haig: "The world is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn't very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? . . . To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act." #donothing #booksky #books #peace #contentment
