being idle

We are living in the hustle culture. We have to be always online, always doing something. We measure our blood glucose, sleep, water intake, and whatnot.

In the modern era of watching, Netflix has become the definition of being idle. Sitting silently, doing nothing, or getting disconnected from the world is unimaginable.

100 other similar inventions came at leisure not being on the go. Our brain needs to be lost time and again on its own.
