lazes about

Does nothing much

To laze about is to spend time idly, doing nothing productive—lounging, relaxing without purpose.

The phrase suggests pleasant indolence rather than depressed inactivity: We lazed about the house all Sunday afternoon.

British English favors laze about; American English tends toward laze around.
