Doing Nothing — A Quiet Rebellion Against Always Being On

Illustration with the text "All day I dream about doing nothing" in black on a background of blue and pink clouds

This five-part blog series explores the idea of doing nothing—what it means, why it matters, and how we can practice it.

In Part 1, we start with boredom: how quiet moments open the door to creativity. Part 2 challenges the “lazy stoner” stereotype and makes the case for rest as something we all deserve, with or without cannabis.

Future essays will explore how different cultures embrace stillness, the real health benefits of unplugging, and ways to turn your next high into space for reflection and daydreaming.

Whether you’re here for a mindset shift, a moment of calm, or a new way to connect with your ritual, this series is a chance to slow down—with intention.

A personal reflection on boredom, ritual, and how intentional stillness creates space for creativity to take root from Esther.

Part 2: Let them Call us Lazy.

Part 3: What the world can teach us about unplugging.
