Niksen

Niksen is a Dutch verb which means "doing nothing",[1][2] which can be roughly translated as "nixing".[3] It has been explored as a method to combat work-related health problems such as stress and burnout.

This concept is the focus of a book by Olga Meching entitled "Niksen: Embracing the Dutch Art of Doing Nothing," published in 2021. Mecking has gained prominence in the Netherlands as an authority on this subject, based on this book. [4]
