In philosopher Søren Kierkegaard's Either/Or, the rotation method is the mechanism used by higher-level aesthetes in order to avoid boredom.
The inartistic and ordinary method prescribes to constantly change your surroundings and activities in order to escape boredom.
The artistic method truly prescribed by the aesthete, on the other hand, says to instead focus on changing the ways of conceiving, following the quote by Marcus Aurelius: "You can begin a new life.
With this method comes the necessity of a little extensivity in activity and surroundings, analogous to the fallow land needed in crop rotation, in order to intensively develop ourselves.
On this ground the aesthete develops a theory of social prudence, warning against the dangers of friendship, marriage, and official posts.
