National Nothing Day

National Nothing Day is an American holiday that allows you to turn laziness from a vice into a celebration. Why keep doing something? You can sometimes relax and unwind, which is why this holiday was created. It is annually on January 16th.

History

We owe the creation of National Nothing Day to journalist Harold Pullman Coffin, who proposed celebrating such a day every year on January 16th.

Everyone decides for themselves how to celebrate the holiday. The meaning of the day is to let people choose their own pastime without paying attention to work or any responsibilities.

Get rid of the routine on National Nothing Day and feel the freedom. However, this does not mean that you need to spend the whole day in bed or on the couch watching TV (although this option may seem attractive to some). Devote the day to your favorite pastime, engage in self-development, and so on. There are lots of options!

Interesting facts

  • Laziness at work usually occurs in cases where it is necessary to perform monotonous or uninteresting actions. Routine always spoils the mood and motivation.
  • The holiday established by Coffin is a great way to relax, be in harmony with yourself, and give your nervous system a rest.
  • The creator of this holiday has a “National Nothing Foundation,” but it will not be possible to find out more information, since there is not even a website.

How to celebrate

As mentioned earlier, you can devote this holiday to self-development and your favorite pastime. Plus, National Nothing Day is a great way to test your endurance. Try just lying around or not saying a word all day. See if you can manage it.
