Word of the Day: Dawdle
Sundays were made for dawdling, or at least they used to be for dawdling.
These days, any day of the week could be your day off and a perfect day for dawdling.
“What does that mean?” you ask.
To dawdle means taking more time to do something than you should.
On your day off, you should not be in a rush to do anything. You can take your time and move at your own pace; that’s what dawdling is.
If you want to stop and stare at the view, you can. If you feel like lying on the grass and watching the clouds float overhead, you can do that, too.
There’s a time and place for everything; unfortunately, work is not the place for dawdling.
As much as dawdling is an excellent thing to do on Sundays, it is also a bad thing to do on workdays.
Dawdling at work could get you in trouble, and in a worst-case scenario, it could get you fired.
Take your time, move at your own pace on your days off, and be diligent at work.
