Idle time

I set my Monday itinerary yesterday only to leave no box ticked. I wanted to do desk clean-up and finalize the design for a brochure I’m working on for the upcoming social action committee event, but no, I spent the day idly exactly the way I’d promised myself I wouldn’t the night before.

But idle time isn’t always wasted time, is it? Idle time gives you time to think, think, think — evaluate things as they are now from what they were before, and plan a vague plan so as not to be to caught up in a meticulous design, rather be guided by a general objective. I guess that’s what I did yesterday…and today. A Tuesday. In hand a check list of things I need to get done, none of them ticked, as was the case the roughly twenty-four hours ago.

So I guess this is to say that in moments of being idle, there’s still some productivity to speak of. And now instead of the blur that is the future, I have a moist glass wipe-ready right in front. And now, in hand, I’ve a check list of things to do, and a trash bin four steps away from where I’m seated.

I have tonight to cram. I’d like to have the day, the “idle” time to think.
