Have you ever noticed that we don't really have a positive way of talking about not being productive? In this episode I discuss the insidious influence our society's ideological obsession with productivity has on our psychological and emotional health, and how I've learned to counteract my anxiety about using my time "wisely" with an intentional practice of wasting time. I talk about when and how I intentionally waste time as well as the benefits the practice has had in my life. You'll also hear about a Japanese saying I really wish we had in English, and how I suck at brushing my dog's teeth. Plus, I answer a listener question!
