Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

This is not my... Highlight

We come across so many incredible things that we decided to highlight our favourites here.

The Idler

The idle life. Not only better and simpler but good for the planet too.

Genius...

www.theidler.co.uk

We work all day but are still in debt, run about but don't feel satisfied and feel guilty about spending as much time as possible merry making.

Idlers wonder why?

Surely a bottle of wine with friends is more fun than a business dinner, growing potatoes more satisfying than jostling for them in Tesco's and - from an environmental perspective - living simply better for the world around us.

Not convinced?

Well - ignore your boss, put your feet up and have a potter about the Idler site anyway.

Regardless, it's got to beat spreadsheets and deadlines!
