Although the busyness of life snatches the essence of it completely, one can always try to stop in between and enjoy the journey so far. We have forgotten the essential completeness that we later start to miss them. Making time for friends, eating a delicious meal together for a long, long time, savoring the joys that went pass, pulling each other's legs and remembering those memories over a cup of tea can be such a blessing in disguise.

Knowing what happens in your professional line of work every single minute over the things that might increase your productivity by a marginal rate is by so far, the biggest time-waster. Cutting down on social networking web-sites and increasing more of actual social life would be more fulfilling. Having to bother about what next side-project to work on or to fix that code happening in my current project and not doing anything about it but procrastinate, is more devastating than spending that same time, surfing the net for boredom. Watching the same old movies on television rather than experiencing different experiences via a billion new others, a zillion books to read and learning via educational videos and documentaries would bring in more happiness. Don't you think?

Lazying around can be fruitful too. It helps to NOT think. Not to worry about various headaches going on. A chat with best of pals, not about anything to do with the usual world but of fascinating talks on knowledge, wisdom and experiences are a boon. A look into those old albums where you had the best days can soothe the mind.

Of course, work is important too. Only until it serves the purpose of providing you a means of survival. It can never be your life.
