National Goof Off Day

Every year, National Goof Off Day on March 22nd gives everyone the opportunity to have a little more fun. The day is also known as International Goof Off Day.

It's a day to relax, enjoy, and goof off. Do something exciting and leave the office until tomorrow. Everybody needs to take a break from time to time. It's often so simple to get caught up in the activities and stresses of our lives. So stop, take a break, and try something new!

Any goofy suggestion will pop into your head. Make paper airplanes from seed packets. Poodles are seen in puddles in Peru's Doodle photos. Play a game of Jenga with randomly stacked spice jars. Or, do the obvious and spend the day in your pajamas doing nothing.
