Take a break for half a day - read "Guide to Fake Busyness"

The purpose of Dimao writing the book "Guide to Fake Busyness" is to remind the world to slow down and savor the beauty of life. Indeed, in today's fast-paced lifestyle, anxiety, tension, Depression threatens us all the time, and we cannot relax for a moment. With endless things to do and things we can’t get away from, it’s no exaggeration to describe us as exhausted both physically and mentally.

I often compare our current living conditions with those of our fathers. They dealt with heaven and earth, while we travel among people. At this time of year, it was time to harvest peanuts. They took the hoe and went to the fields to dig them out. Then they picked off the golden and plump peanuts and put them away. There were dark clouds rolling over from the northwest. They looked at the sky and felt that it was going to rain. , hurriedly ran to the courtyard to pile the corn into a pile and covered it. Looking at the sky and the ground, we spent the spring, summer, autumn and winter in this world day by day; I ran to the office with an umbrella. I didn’t mind if it was cold or hot. The air conditioner kept us at a comfortable temperature. However, my body was only temporarily comfortable. I was bored by the endless complicated work and endless reports. It was unusual. The leader was urging me so hard, but I just couldn’t write anything. I felt like there were countless needles on my seat, my heart was crawling with ants, and there were countless lice on my scalp. When I looked at what my parents were doing, I felt so good. , and told her mother, "I also want to go home and farm." The mother exclaimed, "You can't farm, you will suffer. Do you know how much you can earn by farming one acre of land for a year? It would be great to sit in the office."

People of my parents’ generation have no concept of the word “leisure”. When they are tired, they take a break, sit for a while and drink tea, and then go back to work. I always thought that the word "leisure" belonged to high-end people, or it might be called "vacation" in a more fashionable way. The purpose is to relax the body and mind and clear away the unhappiness and depression that have accumulated recently.

Nowadays, we are too obsessed with doing useful things, doing things with a high input-output ratio, and doing things that can be monetized. There are a lot of software on the Internet that push courses and useful information, and there are also many people who are very careful with their time. Software, I admit that the current era requires continuous learning, but seeing these, my heart is almost burned. Maybe, sometimes we really need to slow down. Some people do this, break out of this circle and find the beauty of life. "The quality of life is related to usefulness, but it is also closely related to uselessness. The time spent walking, the time spent savoring delicious food, the time spent taking care of flowers, plants and pets... will become another kind of nourishment in life. Don't Afraid, some time can be wasted. And where you choose to waste it is what the author said. The author's choice is: eat seriously, have an afternoon chanson time, have a cup of afternoon tea in bad weather, send a gift to a friend far away, raise a cat, make a pot of soup... just steal it like this You have to spend half the day free, but when you have free time, you can't lie down and scroll through your phone. It's too boring and boring. Doing something will always fill your heart with some touching and enriching things.

I am quite retro and full of curiosity and yearning for the way of life of the ancients. What did the ancients do when they were free? Zhang Jian in the Song Dynasty wrote a book, which also specialized in studying leisure time. It was more leisurely and elegant than people today. "In the forest of Yusaorail, I don't know how to age... Every time I wander in the small garden, I almost feel that the scenery and people are one and the same. Visitors bring wine glasses or scarfs and sticks, and come and go with whistling and singing, forgetting to return. Because of the parallelism, it is February. The order of Yan's travels is called "Pleasant Things"... If it's not for a reason, you should try to do it. "He made a plan for each month, and he should do something that is the most enjoyable in a certain month. Take October as an example. The arrangements he made were to "show the warm stove in the music hall, the dense orange pavilion in the frost-covered pavilion, watch the market in the mist, appreciate the small spring flowers, pick the shepherd's purse in the apricot flower farm, and taste the fragrance in the poetry meditation hall." After such a comparison, we can see the huge difference between the past and the present. Let us arrange something like "watching the sunrise at Mount Tai, watching the tide at Qiantang". The ancients would write an interesting poem every time they saw a scene, and when we go to scenic spots, we would "get on the bus to sleep, get off the bus to pee, and when we arrive Taking photos at scenic spots, by the way, that’s all.”

Whether you raise a cat, make soup, or enjoy the scenery, you can always relax your body and mind, slowly savor the ups and downs of life, and slowly let your heart accept these free times. No matter how tight the house is, You need to open a window to see the afternoon sunshine and listen to the refreshing breeze.
