Doing nothing is a plan of action with three movements outward and downward.

Evidence

THE FACT THAT the “nothing” that I propose is only nothing from the point of view of capitalist productivity explains the irony that a book called How to Do Nothing is in some ways also a plan of action. I want to trace a series of movements: 1) a dropping out, not dissimilar from the “dropping out” of the 1960s; 2) a lateral movement outward to things and people that are around us; and 3) a movement downward into place. — Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing, 13

• DEFINE: Names the three redirections: dropping out, moving laterally outward, moving downward into place — exactly the three things the reader wants to articulate.
