National Nothing Day

National Nothing Day is quite simply… a day for nothing. This January 16 holiday is an “un-event”. The expectation is that we do not create or otherwise promote this day. In other words, we do nothing. And, to say anything more would contradict the purpose of this day. Why, those who literally follow the theme for this day cannot even get out of bed. 

Celebrate this day by doing….nothing. Of course, that assumes that doing nothing is okay with your boss.

When we first documented this page, we thought about creating a page with just the title “National Nothing Day” on it…. nothing else. There would be nothing to see, nothing to do. You would be unable to navigate backward or forward….. nothing. Then, our sanity returned. 

How to Celebrate National Nothing Day

Get into the spirit of this special holiday. DO NOT DO HOUSEWORK!

• When you get up in the morning, do not make your bed.
• After meals, leave the dishes in the sink Note: You are allowed to put things into the dishwasher. After all, you have to set them down somewhere.
• There will be no vacuuming, dusting, mopping, or clothes washing and ironing.
