AUG 10, 24 .. NATIONAL TODAY .. LAZY DAY..

If 'blogspot' were a 'living being' it would be very VERY happy that all of a sudden he is getting some back to back to back daily activity!

NATIONAL TODAY..

Some 'Days' are good and some 'Days' are better and some 'Days' really fit. Todays National "Day" really fits 'Yours Truly'.

Here we go Loop De Loop here on 'blogspot' with our August 10th 2024 'Day'.

Do all of you see why this day fits for me? 

After all of the drama with out dotnet website I need a break!

Your Captain needs a lazy day and here it is IF only in name.

In today’s plugged-in world, we often find ourselves wishing for a day when we didn’t have to do anything.

Nothing at all. Not even the tiniest bit of work.

In other words, we long for a lazy day. And yet, when we set aside a day to do nothing, we find it difficult to actually be lazy — as if we’re hardwired to do something, even if we don’t really need to do anything.

Let’s put a stop to that. August 10 is the day to do it. Or not do it.

It’s National Lazy Day. And it’s glorious.

Lazy Day 2024 is the best day to celebrate your inner couch potato by just ignoring all your daily work routine and doing nothing the whole day long.

This day, just lay back on your couch, give your T.V. remote control some exercise, and do enjoy a well deserved rest.

Couch potatoes, lazy bums, and slackers, we’d tell you to celebrate National Lazy Day on August 10, but you can go ahead and be lazy about it.

The origins of National Lazy Day are unknown. We did our research but got lazy and didn’t dig deeper. Perhaps the creators of this holiday were too lazy to pen down the inspiration behind it. The only thing we know is that it is zealously celebrated on August 10 by not being overly zealous.

The whole point of National Lazy Day is to be a lazy good-for-nothing and just relax. Today is the one day nobody can call you out for staying in bed all day or lounging on the couch in front of the television, munching on snacks. We are not telling you to get out of your literal comfort zone but a few add-ons could keep you entertained, like playing the 2010 song by Bruno Mars, titled ‘The Lazy Song,’ or grabbing a copy of “The Myth of Laziness” by Mel Levine to better understand and debunk myths surrounding laziness and its impact on our productivity.

As much as it is frowned upon, laziness can actually be a blessing. At times it is not that a person is lazy, it is that they’d rather prefer to save their energy for things that are really important. Lazy people are usually well-rested and reap the benefits of getting sufficient sleep — this includes improved memory, decreased stress, a greater attention span, and decreased inflammation.

The best part about laziness is that you are less likely to experience burnout. Being lazy allows the body to rejuvenate and restore its balance and energy. Burnout can lead to insomnia, depression, and chronic fatigue.

National Lazy Day doesn’t have too many traditions, as people are too lazy to come up with any activity that can be made into a tradition. Take a break, laze around, and give your mind a rest. Many people glorify hustle culture, but it is good to be lazy once in a while and take the time to reflect and really think about things, otherwise, there is the risk of burning out.  

Lazy Day Tib-Bits..

Today can also be used as the ideal excuse as to why the dishes are not done, why the garbage is not taken out, or why any other errand has not been completed. For once, laziness is the answer!

2007 — the year after which people have been relaxing more and working less. 

78% — the percentage of Americans who don’t meet their daily requirements of physical activity. 

#3546783628876  — the figure that lazy people don’t read completely! 

Too too funny! Neither of us read the above number completely!

1 — the number of Google search results pages that lazy people don’t go beyond. 

2015 — the year when a study published in the Journal of Health Psychology stated that less active people are more intelligent.

Plan something (and by something — we mean nothing)

Don't plan anything. Be lazy. Wake up. Then go back to bed. Then get out of bed. Or stay there. Just don't do anything. It's National Lazy Day! Enjoy!

Find a lazy river upon which to float lazily.

Park yourself inside a cushy inner tube and let the river take you downstream.

Turn your phone off.

Although sitting around doing nothing but checking our phones for text messages or Facebook notifications may seem like a lazy thing to do, it's not. It's far too active a thing for National Lazy Day.

Smiling Ear to Ear!
