Subsection 2.1.3.2: The Officially Unofficial Guide to Doing the Bare Minimum
Warning: This guide is not for the faint of heart. It is for those who dare to do the absolute minimum, who refuse to be bound by the shackles of productivity and responsibility.
Here are the key principles of this guide:
- Set your alarm clock 10 minutes earlier than you need to, to account for the extra 5 minutes you'll spend hitting the snooze button.
- Only check your phone for notifications every 30 minutes, to maximize the time spent scrolling through memes and cat videos.
- When asked to do something, respond with "I'm on it" and then spend the next hour playing Solitaire.
- When working on a task, only focus on the minimum amount of effort required to get it done, and then take a 3-hour break to "recharge."
By following these principles, you too can become a master of the bare minimum, and live a life of purposeful idleness.
