Downtime

I'm finding it harder and harder to find time to do nothing. If I'm not at work, I'm at home, and am unable to sit down and just do nothing. I know that downtime is a good thing; time to sit, do nothing but think, or read a book, listen to music or even watch a movie, but there's a guilt-thing involved. So why do We, Americans, think that this time isn't valued time. I'm going to have to re-evaluate my priorities and schedule in downtime.
