Here’s a post not really about doing nothing, but the opposite — taking time off to do even more things than you could do if you had a day (ha!) job and deadlines to meet.
The Power of Time Off, by Stefan Sagmeister filmed in July 2009 at the Ted Conference in Oxford, England.
Not everyone has the luxury of being in a line that affords a practice like this. (Will our clients kindly not advertise their shampoo for a year?) Not everyone has the wealth and means to do something like this. (“Yeah, you see, on that rent cheque/mortgage payment/…”) And I wouldn’t even go near how one would broach a topic like this with one’s spouse…
Then again, not everyone is Stefan Sagmeister.
Still, one dreams. And buys a lottery ticket.
(That said, if anyone would like to contribute to my sabbatical fund, please feel free to drop me a line below. Thanks.)
