Be Unproductive, Find Bliss, Save Dough

By Cornelius Nunev


Listen up, Type-A personalities. You don't have to demonstrate your worth to us. Unwind, and find your bliss. It can be free, or quite cheap to do so.

Keep the jokes coming

It is really important to laugh, and it will not cost you a thing. Make sure you are laughing and the people around you are enjoying themselves as well. It can come from anything, but the most significant thing is to stop taking the world around you so seriously. Just a little laughter can go a long way.

Do not forget about new things

If you do not want to do anything, you should pay attention to the activities of others. Other people do fun things such as playing the piano or rock climbing. Do not ever participate right now. You can do it again later. For now, you just sit back and watch other people do all the things you would love.

Next to look at the wild

You could end up really happy just by listening and observing the insects, reptiles and animals around you. Listen to the noises that they give, particularly in the mornings and evenings.

Free parks in summer

Think Chicago was not telling the truth when it sang about all the good things to do on a Saturday in the park? Think again. A free public park is a great summertime destination for sitting back and catching some rays. Bring a chair, or a towel. If you are going to be there at lunchtime, bring lunch with you and enjoy it there.

Spend time in the hedges

Check to see if your town has a community flower garden or arboretum. Even a greenhouse will do. Seeing flowers, trees and other plants is a pleasant way to enjoy an afternoon, and many facilities of this nature do not charge an admission fee.

There are clouds everywhere

You can look at the clouds and identify them with friends and family, or you can do it on your own if you need. You can just look at what the clouds look like or you can classify them. It is a simple thing to mix with your trip to the park.

Good books to read

While finding bliss with mindless television can actually be costly (it murders brain cells), reading a book that has nothing at all to do with being an upwardly mobile social climber is not quite so expensive. The same holds true for magazines and relatively long pamphlets, provided they aren't job-related. Read for pleasure, not for data.

Old photos

Keep your mind active by looking at old photographs. You can remember the stories linked to the photos and get personal enjoyment out of it.

Being unproductive tip No. 9: Get in the game

Playing pick-up soccer, baseball or basketball might be viewed as being useful - sharpening skills, improving health - but the element of simply enjoying a game is much less pointed. The joyous state of mind brought on by doing something other than working with a client or purchasing groceries is a vital part of building the balance between yin and yang in your life.

Take off your shoes

You can hold off on all your work by going on a little walk in the evening or by taking off your shoes and feeling the sand between your toes. There are rivers and oceans around or even walking trails you can go on.
