Seems simple enough. Why would you do something that serves no purpose? Yet it is easy to fall prey to meaningless activity or inactivity. When you don't know what you're doing, it doesn't really matter what you do anymore than when you don't know where you're going, it doesn't really matter which way you go.
Utility implies purpose. Something is useful inasmuch as it helps you obtain a goal or arrive at your destination. A lay over may be a calculated stretch of inactivity in getting to the final destination, but it's not simply loafing. It is on purpose and with purpose. You have to wait there in order to get to where you're going. It is the fastest way to get where you want to go. You could be bicycling all night in order to avoid inactivity, but the one with the jet engine is better equipped for long distances.
Pursue assiduity. Do everything on purpose. Be intentional. Know Who made you and what He made you for; and then give everything to doing that. Let your action, your rest, your spending, your saving, your appointments, your free time, your talking, your listening, your living and your dying be for that one great purpose.
Do nothing which is of no use.
