Life Is About Recapturing Lost Freedoms.

I Originally Welcomed The Mobile Phone As It Seemed To Me That It Would Enable You To Work From Anywhere. On The Mobile, Who Was To Know If You Were Sitting On The Branch Of A Tree Or Sitting In An Office? But It Instead Had The Opposite Effect: Instead Of Freeing Us From The Office, It Allowed The Office To Take Away Our Freedom.

A Conclusion I’ve Come To At The Idler Is That It Starts With Retreating From Work But It’s Really About Making Work Into Something That Isn’t Drudgery And Slavery, And Then Work And Life Can Become One Thing.

There Are A Lot Of Little Tricks You Can Do To Inject A Bit More Time Into The Day. Most Important Is Limiting Yourself To A 40 Hour Week, Not Working 50 Hours Or 60 Or 70. It's Just Crazy. It's Actually Irresponsible To You And Irresponsible To Your Family And Friends. Why Should Your Employer's Profits Be More Important Than Your Own Family? You're Not Even Going To Get Any Of The Profits - All You Get Is Not Losing Your Job. It's A Very Negative System.

Idleness For Me Is Not A Giving Up On Life But A Spirited Grabbing Hold Of It.

Life Is Becoming No More Than Staring At The Screen.
