Are you wasting enough time?

One thing highly underrated by our society is wasting time. Not being productive has it’s own merits. This is one thing I can say out of pure experience because I have myself wasted a lot of time.

When you waste time, you essentially do something unimportant to your goal. When you browse social media, watch the same news over and over again, procastinate on your tasks. All of this can be counted in as wasting time.

This time that you waste actually helps you in more ways than you can imagine. It gives you the freedom to do whatever you want, because whatever you do will be better than wasting time. It allows your brain to wander off to places where it would never go otherwise.

One day while I was wasting time, a weird thought hit me ie why are we letting our poop go down the drain? Is it of no monetary value? If it is then why aren’t we using it?

Another day I started pondering on why am I expected to bathe regularly when our early ancestors rarely bothered. We brush everyday but how did they manage to avoid that foul smell and yellow teeth? This intrigued me a lot.

Then another thing I was thinking the other day, can my hair be made into noodles. If not, why?

I agree these are all very cringeworthy thoughts but what makes them cringeworthy is that we never think about these things. These things aren’t inside the box that our thinking is trapped in. To get these thoughts, you need to let your head to wander off.

The only way to let your head wander off is to waste time. The best ideas come to you when you waste time.

Newton would not be newton if he didn’t observe carefully the falling of an apple. That would clearly qualify as wasting time if you were to do it. But it was something that introduced us all to gravity.

The best ideas are ideas which most can’t think of. Most can’t think of them because they don’t fall inside the box of our thinking.

So to get these ideas you need to go out of the box. To go out of the box, all you need to do is-

WASTE A LOT OF TIME!!
