What is Advanced Task Stacking?
Advanced Task Stacking is the pinnacle of procrastination techniques. It's the art of taking multiple tasks, and stacking them on top of each other like a tower of Jenga blocks. The key is to create an unbalanced tower that's guaranteed to collapse under its own gravity.
