What is the day today?
No Interruptions Day – Last Work Day of the Year!
No Interruptions Day is observed annually on the last work day of the year. This is a day set aside for getting organized for the new year by cleaning up your work space without interruptions.
No Interruptions Day arose in response to a world where everywhere we go information and noise is blasted at us from every angle. Visually the world is full of flashing screens and pop-ups and outlandish things determined to draw our attention from what we’re doing and make us LOOK LOOK LOOK for a moment. Whether it’s the man spinning a sign in a Lady Liberty outfit advertising a tax service, or a pop-up on your phone from the latest twitter post, everything wants your attention, right now.
