Why Accomplish Nothing Well?

I used to do things. Useful things. I had a title, a paycheck and benefits. Yet, I never found what I was doing all that satisfying. I was like a windup toy that couldn’t wait until the key stopped spinning so I could get lost in my thoughts again.

Ten months ago, I quit to write. It turns out, I am not writing anything. I just quit. So what do I do? I distract myself. I am the Queen of Distractions. This ability may be my greatest accomplishment – forever to be written into the annals as “The woman who doesn’t do anything.” I dislike when people ask, “What did you do today?” or “What do you do with your time?” This blog is my attempt to share how I accomplish nothing well. I am never bored.  My life is quite fulfilling, and I am not going to apologize for it. Welcome to my story.

  1. Thank you for starting a blog that doesn’t cover all the other asinine stuff that every one is already blogging about. I plan to add this to my daily list of accomplishing jack crap.

  2. I like your resolve.” Accomplishing nothing well’, has an aplomb to it. It sounds cheery & almost dignified. It certainly beats the paradigm of drivenness versus guilt saturated procrastination. Doing versus Being. Let’s face it, the world is statistically extroverted and there is always a certain leeriness & mistrust expressed towards those of us who aren’t enthusiastically pole vaulting themselves into the next great thing. Truly we are seen as a rather unwholesome bunch. Ironically, do we ever really care all that much when people gush over what they’re doing currently? Do we , really, not just deep down but unless it’s absolutely riveting, even superficially care? Sad too, because some people give off a perspiration of need for validation you could almost smell when they inform you that they are in fact legit in the world bc they’re doing shit. Hallelujah.
