Even When They're Not Busy, People Hate Idleness

Even When They're Not Busy, People Hate Idleness: "Tim Kreider says that fancy-pants professional types spend too much time being busy and what people need is more idleness:

Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration — it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done."
