And although the necessity of being as sick as a dog started it all off, the realisation that actually I can spend the whole day in bed and nothing falls apart has definitely shifted my feeling that I *should* be doing something productive whenever possible.

I love this. Partly because one of my million ideas is for something, possibly a photo book, that is titled "A Book About Nothing". I just discovered Downton Abbey myself. Though I did not manage to finish the entire season before it was due, I watched 2 1/2 episodes. It was marvelous! Yay, Kylie!

Good for you. I wish you all the most relaxing activities, moments of staring out the window, and sleeping you can imagine. Mo: Great, great greeeeat job for taking a do-nothing day. I'm so impressed that as a "recovering workaholic" you recognized the need for that. It's an immense, wonderful, self-caring action. Woo! Ben: Yay! Good for you.

Love your thoughts on why this is so important and your tips on how to make it happen. ("Tie up your affairs in the World of Doing" is a BIG one for me.) Thanks for the great post!

I think one reason it worked for me the first time around (instead of having a couple not-so-successful tries before it worked out) is that I desperately needed it. Maybe you recognize that you do need rest, but you haven't gotten to that ever-so-lovely <em>desperate</em> point yet. And I don't want you to! Keep being gentle with yourself, even around the nothing-doing. I'll be cheering you on. Jeanne: Yay yay yay! I get that unplugging can be really key for getting rest (whatever "unplugging" means to you). I did open my computer a few times to watch Netflix, because that's what felt right to me. But I'm definitely open to trying a totally unplugged Weekend of Nothing. I also think it's great that you knew when your friends just might not understand. No need for them to have to know the details -- you <em>were</em> busy! Busy giving yourself the nourishing care you needed. Great job!
