The Art of Doing Nothing: A Committee's Guide to Bureaucratic Red Tape

Welcome, hapless employee, to the Committee on Inefficiency, Redundancy, and Procrastination! We're here to teach you the ancient art of doing as little as humanly possible, while maintaining a veneer of productivity.

Step 1: Create multiple committees to discuss the committee's goals and objectives. Make sure to include a 30-page report on the committee's mission statement.

Step 2: Write a 10-page memo on the importance of writing 10-page memos.

Step 3: Schedule a meeting to discuss the meeting's agenda, which will be discussed in the next meeting, which will be scheduled for the following week.

And remember, the key to doing nothing is to do as little as possible while making it look like you're doing something. Good luck, and may your productivity be as low as possible!
