IT'S A FUNNY OLD WORLD - 'There's nothing wrong with taking life slowly

Like many of us, I have got a slight obsession with achieving things. Sometimes, it feels like my brain is running 1,000 miles an hour, saying yes to everything, even if I end up totally frazzled as a result.

Pottering is enjoying not doing very much. It's spending time on small, often insignificant things and not feeling like that time is wasted. In the old days, if you were early for a bus, rather than typing messages or scrolling on your phone, you might chat to the person waiting next to you, or simply just sit. That is the mindset I'm trying to bring back - doing something relatively pointless, but still feeling content.
