The Importance of Idleness in Life

The word idle reminds me of a book I read some years back almost a manifesto called How to Be Eitel. It's a whole long book that is both arguing the case for why this is a worthwhile way to spend time and then has a detailed list of ways to do nothing while seeming to do something. That was in many ways a tough book for me to read because I think I do come from that productivity is everything mindset somehow but I also think it was quite good for me for that reason.
