Simplify for Joy #2: 'Do Nothing' Days

This week's tip is no challenge for me at all. Maybe Marli, who is almost always doing something, might find it a bit harder because Erica's second proposed method to simplify your life is to have regular days on which you do nothing.

Do. Nothing.

Well, I must say, I don't think it means you have to lie in bed literally doing nothing all day. I believe you just have to schedule regular days (each week/month) on which you don't have any plans to follow or tasks to perform.

On my 'Do Nothing' days (Saturdays, Sundays or Public Holidays), I am very selfish with my time. All day long, I ONLY do things I enjoy, and preferably in my pj's or sweatpants. Usually, this means vegging in front of the TV, napping, reading, or pinning.

I have a very understanding and accommodating partner, so this is one simplification technique I really have no trouble with. How about you? Do you give yourself non-productive breathers? And if so, how do you spend your time doing nothing?
