I don’t think necessity is the mother of invention – invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.
~ Agatha Christie

What a fantastic quote.  Long live laziness!  Embrace idleness!

Come on – you know, I know, we all know that we’re all working too hard.  (I am, at any rate).

As if busy-ness was something to be proud of.  I ask you:  what a dubious badge of honour THAT is!

=> What would you stop doing if you had to stop being Busy?

=> How is being busy keeping you safe?  Keeping you small?  Keeping you doing Good Work not Great Work?

=> What’s the easiest thing you could do right now?
