Aye James, time is precious, and it is important to remember that time spent doing nothing is important too. It can serve as a rest and reset when we block off some time to just sit and literally do nothing; let thoughts wander where they will; there is no outcome-based aim for this practice, if anything the goal should be to accomplish absolutely nothing, except simply 'be'
I find this works best for me if i am out in nature, just observing the world around me, but to each their own.
