What are your favorite things to do on a lazy day? This question was the writing prompt for my 7th-graders today. As I was writing along with them, a lightbulb went off – why wasn’t I using my in-class writing as my slice? So here it is – my favorite things to do on a lazy day.
- Sleep in until I awake on my own. I enjoy not setting an alarm.
- Linger over a cup of tea and the NYT puzzles while listening to coffee house jazz or Baroque strings.
- Binge-watch something on Netflix while snuggled in a comfy blanket. I am too tired most days to watch TV after dinner.
- Eat a leisurely lunch with my husband. Lunch at school is usually at my desk while multitasking.
- Read for pleasure – our latest book club pick or one of the books in my ever-growing TBR stack.
- Take a nap or not. Having the option is a treat.
- Light a scented candle (no flower scents) and write in my notebook in longhand, accompanied by a chai latte.
- Order take-out for dinner. Since my husband cooks every night, I would give him the night off. š
- Go to bed feeling calm and peaceful.
This makes me want to schedule a lazy day soon. What are your favorite things to do on a lazy day?

Love your list, Rita. You would think that I had many lazy days now that I’m retired. That is definitely not the case. However, scheduling on is a great idea. I’m going to slice about that, thanks to you!

I bet the seventh graders enjoyed this activity. I can’t wait to create my own lazy day list.
