1. Make a to-do list, but never actually do it. Write down everything you could possibly be doing instead, and then spend the next 4 hours playing video games.
2. Take a break, but not too long of a one. Tell yourself you'll just "just take a 5-minute break" and end up watching cat videos for 2 hours.
3. Use social media for research purposes only. Open 10 tabs on your browser and claim you're "researching" the latest memes and cat pictures.
4. Make your workspace look like a productive zone. Cover your desk with Post-it notes, empty coffee cups, and a few strategically placed pizza boxes to create an atmosphere that screams "I'm WORKING VERY HARD, GUYS!"
5. Blame your lack of productivity on the government. Tell your boss it's the economy's fault you can't focus, or that you're being slowly brainwashed by the government.
