Mother Jones has this article up on their website titled: 'How To Be Idle: An Interview with Tom Hodgkinson' which is "on the insane hustle of modern life and the virtues of kicking back."
It's a v.well written article. It's not about lazing around, but more having time to think about what you're doing, to have time to be creative, and to enjoy life and to spend quality time with your friends and family etc.
It's an article worth reading anyway.
