The Epicurus Strategy: A Guide to Doing Nothing
By following the Epicurus strategy, you too can achieve the perfect balance of leisure and productivity. It's simple: just do the bare minimum, and then take a nap.
- Step 1: Wake up, stretch, yawn.
- Step 2: Check your phone for 2 hours.
- Step 3: Eat a snack.
- Step 4: Take a long, hot bath.
- Step 5: Repeat steps 2-4 indefinitely.
def strategy():
wake_up()
check_phone(2)
eat_snack()
take_bath()
repeat()
def wake_up():
print("Wake up, stretch, yawn")
def check_phone():
print("Check phone for 2 hours")
def eat_snack():
print("Eat a snack")
def take_bath():
print("Take a long, hot bath")
def repeat():
print("Repeat steps 2-4 indefinitely")
Don't forget to include plenty of breaks for reading, napping, and browsing cat videos. The key to success is not doing anything.
