Scientific Study: Doing Nothing

Published in the Journal of Pointless Research (Volume 12, Issue 4)

Abstract:

Our study aimed to investigate the effects of doing nothing on the human brain.

We recruited 100 participants who were tasked with staring at a blank wall for 8 hours a day for 5 days.

Results:

Our findings show that doing nothing leads to:

• A significant increase in brain activity, particularly in the default mode network.
• A 30% increase in self-reported happiness.
• A 20% decrease in productivity.
• A 50% increase in the number of memes created.

Conclusion:

We conclude that doing nothing is a highly effective way to improve mental health, but it's not a viable solution for meeting deadlines or paying bills.

Future studies should focus on the effects of doing nothing on a larger scale, such as in a national or global context.
