Even better (imo) is going beyond the maximization maxim and realise the “beauty” of the analog, a world you directly see, hear, touch. Just existing without a specific goal, which is indeed similar as a vacation / holiday. However people seem to reserve the “no goal” mindset only on vacation, but you could also integrate it into your life.

I’ve been practicing no-goal vacations daily and hourly.

Like, a 30-min vacation sometime after work and 2-3 minute vacations hourly.

The key is to drop all goals and switch to a sense of complete freedom, even for a short period of time.

I have no goals, it’s great!

Absolute freedom. I do as I feel most of the time and I’m very lucky to be able to do so.
