Lesson 4: The Art of Doing Nothing
By now, you should have mastered the basics of procrastination. But what about when you need to do actual work? Fear not, dear student, for today we'll cover the advanced techniques of doing absolutely nothing.
Warning: The following methods may cause permanent damage to your productivity. Proceed at your own risk.
Method 1: The Art of the "To-Do" List
Make a to-do list, but instead of actually doing the tasks, just stare at it for hours, wondering how you'll ever get it done.
Method 2: The Power of the "Just 5 Minutes More" Technique
Tell yourself you'll just take a 5-minute break to check your phone, and then 5 minutes turn into 5 hours.
Method 3: The Procrastination Paradox
Do a task, but onlyประกassistant
By doing a task, you'll actually be doing the opposite of a task, thereby freeing up more time to do nothing.
Example: If you're supposed to write a report, just stare at a blank piece of paper for hours, thereby proving that the report was never actually due in the first place.
