Techniques for Doing the Bare Minimum
The art of doing the bare minimum is a delicate dance of inaction. It requires focus, dedication, and an unhealthy dose of apathy.
Here are some of Bob's favorite techniques:
- The Procrastination Loop: Repeat the same tasks ad infinitum, never completing anything, but never actually accomplishing anything.
- The Bureaucratic Shuffle: Create an endless series of pointless meetings and memos to avoid actual work.
- The Passive-Aggressive Pause: Stare intensely at the clock, pretending to be busy, while secretly doing nothing.
- The "I'll Get Right On It" Deflection: Tell people you'll do something, then disappear for days, weeks, or months.
