“Doing nothing is very hard to do… you never know when you’re finished.”
Quotes about the Workplace are quite common. And, the range of people who participate in sharing their observations can be from our old buddy “Anon” (anonymous), to military leaders to entertainment personalities to authors, to “you name it”. IKR (Like Leslie Nielsen for the quote at the top of this page.)

“Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.” — Peter Drucker

Do you have any pithy (look it up) observations? Who knows, one or more of you could be the pithiest of the pithiest.
OK, I dare you. When you have a few minutes to do absolutely nothing, create some “Nothing wisdoms” of your own. It’s harder than you might think.
