Procrastination Techniques

Welcome to the Doing Nothing Research Center, where we've been working on this report for years. We're almost done... just a few more minutes... or decades.

Our research has led us to develop several groundbreaking techniques for doing nothing.

Technique #1: The Ancient Art of Staring Blankly

Our team spent 37 hours studying the art of staring at walls, floors, and ceilings. We've made a breakthrough! It turns out that staring is 99% effective in achieving maximum nothingness.

Technique #2: The Power of Binge-Watching YouTube

We've discovered that watching an entire season of cat videos in one sitting is a surefire way to achieve maximum productivity... of doing nothing.

Technique #3: The Art of Playing Video Games

Our research team has found that playing video games can be a highly effective way to achieve a state of nothingness. We're not saying it's not work, we're just saying it's not real work.
