60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday: TIP: What to Do When You Don’t Have Work to Do

60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday: TIP: What to Do When You Don’t Have Work to Do 2:31

Hello to you listening in Jablonne nad Orlici, Czech Republic!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Maybe like me you have spaces in the year when you are not overly busy. In fact, you might be underly busy.

Perhaps your reaction is to scramble to be productive.

But productivity is not always related to action.

What if there’s another valuable way to use the underly busy times?

Amos Tversky, an expert of decision making, wrote, “The secret to doing good research is always to be a little underemployed. You waste years by not being able to waste hours.” [Amos Tversky — An Amazing Man]

Practical Tip: Think about this for a moment. What’s the rush? There is time to devote to day dreaming or staring out the window while giving our wonderfully creative imaginations time to breathe, show up, solve a problem.

Question: What would be so wrong about giving ourselves permission to be a little underly busy? How might that notion play out in your world?

Remember the first time you rode a bike and took your hands off the handlebars? And then because it felt fun and scary you did it again until you were streaking down a hill with the wind blowing in your face and your hands up over your head screaming, “Look ma! No hands!” That’s been the story of Diane's life. Showing up - maybe scared but not afraid - because when you fall down 7 you get up 8.
