August 10 is not like any other day where you need to battle with yourself to get up from bed and reluctantly go to work. It is a special day dedicated to doing nothing but relaxing and not feeling guilty about it. It is “National Lazy Day,” honoring the people who want to goof around and chill.
History of National Lazy Day
This day’s origin is still unknown; the only thing we know about it is that it falls on August 10, and people do nothing during this day. An additional piece of information is that the World Day of Laziness was launched on August 11, 1984, in Columbia to symbolize the end of the festival of industry and trade. This indicates that the world needs a break from the routine. Hence, the origin of National Lazy Day might also be something like this.

National Lazy Day reminds us that we need a break from our routine and spend a day just for ourselves. People feel stressed and overworked, so it is essential to take the day off and recharge. When people don’t relax, it leads to stress, depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, etc. But when people relax from time to time, it can make a person healthy. It will also help in enhancing one’s efficiency in all tasks. Sometimes, relaxing and letting our minds wander will help in focusing on our goals. Being lazy is not bad; it can actually make us productive. Hence we all deserve a day like that.
