From [[Four thousand weeks, Oliver Burkeman]] A-telic (or atelic) activities -- those are activities that aren't "in order to" activities. They're their own good. You don't have to read a book to become better, or walk around so that you can become healthier, or travel abroad so you're more interesting, and have these positive outcomes from every minute in your life. You can just enjoy the things themselves. #published 2025-07-13
