doing nothing is not something we would consciously do. But as the Dutch have pointed out, there can be great happiness in just doing nothing. They have also coined a word for this inactivity — niksen, which literally means just this, to do nothing. It means to be free of any purpose, to be completely idle. A period of niksen can act as a stress buster and help us regain focus. As has been said, niksen can make us more productive. Niksen is not the very antithesis of all that we are taught — to be focused, hardworking, productive, goal-oriented. Niksen is just an acknowledgement that there comes a time when we all need to take a break from all the running around. This is the classic work-life balance with a twist — instead of relaxing by reading a book or spending time with the family where again we are mentally engaged albeit in a good way, we niksen, just do nothing.
