Embrace the faff. Stare out of the window. Bend paperclips. Stand in the middle of the room trying to remember what you came downstairs for. Pace. Drum your fingertips. Move papers around. Hum. Look at the garden.Go to the shed with the intention of tidying up and instead fall asleep. Make mental notes. Read every single word of the newspaper - even the job ads - before getting down to work. Lose yourself in erotic reveries. Pat your pockets. Resolve to be more organised in future. Be useless.

Sounds like a good plan. Doing nothing sometimes can be very productive. I daydream and come up with some good plans, some not so good. No harm done because I'm not doing anything anyway. And, faffing, what a great word.

Hmm...I don't know about this. This sounds like nothing but pro-faffing propaganda to me!

Oh how excellent. It is productive isn't it !!! i find i am doing it more and more as i get older.Makes me feel good . Em maybe not'- then again.Oh who am i kidding. Think I'll write a letter -after i have had a snooze and maybe a bite to eat zz zz zz
