no2DO

no2Do is a further development of the English term 2DO (2DO-list, to-do list, pending items list or task list). The prefix no suggests that quite often the most useful strategy confronting a problem is to do just… nothing – entirely in the spirit of Wu Wei (non-intervention).

In this respect, no2DO is first of all a play on words and refers to the exact opposite of 2do-lists and activism: there is nothing to do. Except perhaps to become aware of a situation in all its complexity and intricacy. Then, from this state of inner silence, to act spontaneously and in harmony with this overall situation, just a little, easily and effortlessly, without any effort of the will.

There is an expression for this attitude in Eastern philosophies: Wu Wei. Non-action. The exact opposite of a 2DO list. no2DO.
