Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time
— Marthe Troly-Curtin

Spending time in enjoyment is good for you and a good use of your time.

These words have been waiting on a wall for you.

This poster carries one of the most quietly powerful thoughts ever written about time. Not a productivity hack. Not a system. Just a single sentence that reorients everything — the future is not something that happens to you later. It is something you begin now.

Designed in the No Hands Art style: antique-inspired, warm, considered. An ornate clock face sits at the top — our signature motif, a clock with no hands, because your time belongs to no one but you. Below it, the quote in deep walnut serif type. A Victorian flourish beneath. The attribution in an elegant italic hand.

It belongs in a home office. A study. A kitchen. Anywhere you need a quiet, grounded reminder that the gap between intention and action is always smaller than it feels.

Why No Hands Art

✦ A reminder that doesn't need willpower: the wall remembers for you, every time you glance up.
✦ The words are checked: quotes are correctly attributed, never pinned on the wrong famous name.
✦ Your choice: printed to order and delivered worldwide, or an instant download to print at home in US LETTER or A4.

Framed or unframed?
Both options print to exactly the same standard — the difference is simply whether you want the work done for you and ready to hang.

Choose unframed if you already have a frame you love, if you want to match your existing décor exactly, or if you prefer to frame things your own way. Your print arrives protected, and ready to go straight into a frame.

Choose framed if you want it on your wall the same day it arrives — no extra trip to a framing shop, no measuring twice. Our wooden frames come in oak, black or white, arrive ready to hang, and are designed to complement the antique warmth of the print without overpowering it. Framing in oak, black or white is available on both sizes.
