“Today, I’m doing nothing because I started doing it yesterday and I’m not finished. And I’m certainly not a quitter.”
First of all, let’s clear something up:
This isn’t laziness.
This is consistency.
Somewhere along the way, society decided that rest had to be earned, exhaustion had to be glorified, and productivity meant being visibly overwhelmed at all times. Meanwhile, this monkey with his coffee understands the assignment better than most humans.
Because sometimes “doing nothing” is actually:
Recovering
Regulating your nervous system
Avoiding a burnout-induced meltdown
Choosing peace over performative hustle
Or simply minding your business with caffeine and vibes
And no, you’re not quitting.
You’re continuing — just at a pace that doesn’t require caffeine IVs and emotional support spreadsheets.
The funniest part?
The same people who shame you for resting are usually the ones who:
Haven’t finished anything themselves
Confuse busyness with importance
Think burnout is a personality trait
Doing nothing isn’t giving up.
It’s pausing with intention.
It’s knowing that progress doesn’t always look loud, fast, or Instagrammable. Sometimes it looks like a monkey, holding coffee, staring into the void, silently choosing not to spiral today.
So yes — you started doing nothing yesterday.
You’re still doing it today.
And honestly? That’s commitment.
Finish what you started.
Sip your coffee.
Protect your peace.
Because quitting would be rushing yourself for people who don’t even clap when you succeed anyway.
