The Importance of fitting nothing into your day

If you want your day to end on a productive note. It may pay, to this poem about nothing take note, In order to take away something of note. A well planned nothing in your day, Will help you make something of your day, As doing nothing for 15 minutes minimum each day, Could help you complete all tasks for the day, As a mind that races through the day, Seldom has a body to match the pace on any day, With disasters and costly mistakes on the cards by the end of the day, With either mind or body no longer present the next day. Whereas a mind that can go blank once a day, Will take the body with it all day, And both mind and body will be in tune for another day. So next time you are asked by the boss at work or at home, "what are you you doing" You will be proud to say "nothing" And the wise boss will just smile and say Nothing, Knowing it will lead to something, That is better than nothing.

I am working on a follow up called when not to do nothing. Thanks for your kind comments. I am semi-retired and 71. Poetry keeps me young and sane. It is a gift, that should never be left on the shelf. Stay safe and sane greatful.David in NZ
