Contemplation is Pointless, And That Is The Point

Whereas goal-directed activities get their value from culminating in an achievement—crossing the finish line makes the painful marathon worth running—goalless activities have value apart from how they end.

Goalless activities are valuable just because you’re doing them, and they continue to be valuable as long as you do them and aren’t diminished in value because they don’t culminate in some big accomplishment.

In this category, we can put things like sitting on a quiet dock to watch the waves come in or playing with our kids until we lose track of time.
