There’s an aspect of Taoist philosophy called Wu Wei, which is about “doing by not doing.” And, strangely enough, it’s the secret to getting things done!This philosophy says that, when nothing is done, nothing is left undone. When I first encountered this stark contradiction I became seriously worried about my brain cells short- circuiting and melting. In fact, the more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that I was starting to smell smoke coming out of my ears.
