Justifications 4: Because Reasons

Chapter 4: The Art of Justifying Things

Justification is a delicate dance of excuses and rationalization. It's a tightrope act of convincing ourselves and others that we're not completely wrong. And in this chapter, we'll explore the 5 key justifications for doing absolutely nothing.

1. "I'm not lazy, I'm just conserving energy."

Because who needs a social life when you can spend 12 hours a day on the couch, binge-watching cat videos?

2. "I'm not late, I'm just on Pacific Time."

When the rest of the world is stuck in a time zone that's two hours behind, why bother trying to be punctual?

3. "I'm not arguing, I'm just passionately expressing myself."

Who needs facts when you can just shout louder and louder until everyone else gives up?

4. "I'm not procrastinating, I'm just re-arranging my priorities."

When you've got a deadline to meet, why not just re-prioritize it for later... next year?

5. "I'm not addicted, I'm just highly invested."

When you've got a problem, why not just throw more money, time, and resources at it until it goes away?

And that's it for today's chapter. Stay tuned for the next installment of Justifications 4, where we'll explore even more creative ways to avoid doing actual work.
