Burnout Inducement Techniques: The Art of Doing the Bare Minimum

Warning: The following techniques are not actually recommended, but they're kinda fun to imagine.

Here at the Institute for Debunking Burnout Theory, we've compiled a list of the most egregious burnout-inducing techniques, because who needs productivity, anyway?

The Classics:

• 1. Over-Engineering: Add unnecessary features, complexity and features until the project is an unmanageable beast.
• 2. Procrastination: Focus on the most interesting, non-essential tasks first.
• 3. Perfectionism: Set unrealistic expectations and then beat yourself up over not meeting them.

The Newbies:

• 1. Analysis Paralysis: Spend an eternity researching and planning, but never actually doing anything.
• 2. Micromanagement Mayhem: Focus on tiny, insignificant details until the bigger picture is forgotten.

Remember, burnout is a choice, but so is being a functioning member of society. Choose wisely.
