International Institute of Not Doing Much - IINDM: Sophisticated life in the slow lane

How to slow down

[Slow mastery is demonstrated in the face of having lots to do.]

1.Put your feet up, and stare idly out of the window. Warning: Do not attempt this while driving.
notamused2.Do one thing at a time. Remember multitasking is a moral weakness (except for women, who have superior brain function).
3.Ponder, take your time. Do not be pushed into answering questions. A response is not the same as an answer.
4. Slowly learn our Slow Manifesto.
5. Yawn often. Medical studies have shown lots of things, and possibly that yawning may be good for you.
6. Spend more time in bed. You have a better chance of cultivating your dreams (not your aspirations.)
7.Read the slow stories.
8. Spend more time in the bathtub. (See letter from Major Smythe-Blunder.)
9.Practice doing nothing. (Yes, this is the difficult one.)
10. Avoid too much seriousness. Laugh, because you’re only alive on Planet Earth for a limited time.
