The Official Procrastination Guide

Declare a Holiday in Your Mind

Step 1: Invent a fictional holiday with a vague, yet intriguing name.

1. "International Day of Doing Absolutely Nothing" - a day where productivity is not only allowed, but encouraged
2. "National "Me Time" Day - a day to prioritize self-care and binge-watch cat videos
3. "Galactic Relaxation Day - a day to pretend you're floating in space, while actually just lounging on your couch"

Step 2: Create a fictional backstory for your holiday, complete with fake historical events and figures.

1. Create a fake "Holiday Committee" to govern your holiday celebrations
2. Invent a "National Anthem" and a "Holiday Song" to be sung during celebrations
3. Develop a "Holiday Symbol" to represent your made-up holiday (e.g., a stylized letter "D"

Step 3: Celebrate your new holiday with reckless abandon, using the following activities:

1. Watch cat videos all day
2. Binge-read your favorite books
3. Play video games until your thumbs fall off

And, of course, take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of your holiday:
