Dead week is the week between Christmas and new Year. According to Helena Fitzgerald,
Dead Week… is a week off from the forward-motion drive of the rest of the year. It is a time against ambition and against striving. Whatever we hoped to finish is either finished or it’s not going to happen this week, and all our successes and failures from the previous year are already tallied up. It’s too late for everything; Dead Week is the luxurious relief of giving up. Quoted in Austin Kleon’s newsletter.
How are you spending dead week? What are you luxuriating in giving up?
