Niksen, 'nothinging', is a Dutch verb which means "doing nothing",[1][2] which can be roughly translated as "to nothing".[3] It has been explored as a method to combat work-related health problems such as stress and burnout.[4]
This concept is the focus of a book by Olga Mecking 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.[5]
