If there's no reason to impress and I don't find intrinsic value in a task, I will do nothing.I will do nothing all day and easily convince myself that I am doing something. When I know I'm doing something important, it convinces others that I am dealing with important business. I mean, I'd enter numbers into columns all day long if it meant that I could zone out in my head wondering about how dust happens or why people are careless with words. (It'll make it easier to write those same exact numbers down on an index card some day in the future). I'll watch my cat groom on the windowsill. I'd go back to junior high and run the pacer. I'll choose not to take action and convince myself I'm doing something important the entire time. I'm not saying it's a bad way to live, though.
