Leisure Goals: “The Joys Of Not Working”

Are you still feeling guilty over the 30 more minutes you spent eating your lunch today? You could’ve spent it doing something more “productive”, maybe checking your emails or going through your calendar to update your weekly schedule.

But wait, please do find the time to read on this post!

“If you are losing your leisure, look out! You are losing your soul.” – Logan Pearsall Smith

That quote was pretty powerful, don’t you think so?

I found that quotation on page 95, fitting nicely on the page’s margin, in Ernie J. Zelinski’s book “The Joy of Not Working”. After a quick read through some of the chapters, the book has a strong message on work and leisure.

In the book, you’ll find out it’s all rather simple, really. We are so overwhelmed by our daily work schedule – punch in at nine, punch out at five – with the hours in between spent doing something we don’t really like doing. Well, of course, there are those who are just downright lucky to have a job which they enjoy, and so going to work isn’t a chore. But for the unlucky ones, it’s the same old thing, day in and day out. Never really had thought of setting leisure goals, did you? You’ve pretty much given in to your daily routine.

“The Joys of Not Working” provides provocative insights – denounces work, commend unemployment, and urges you, the reader, to live abundantly with less. You don’t have to work hard, you just have to work smart, and have all the time in the world to enjoy yourself. You have merely existed all these time if you haven’t managed to wisely use your leisure.

Learn to live, stop hurrying along, just stop and set your leisure goals now!

There’s more to life. Enjoy it. Love it. Live it!
