This is the sequel to our wildly popular "Techniques for Improving Procrastination Skills" guide. In this updated version, we'll cover even more advanced techniques for mastering the art of doing nothing.

Warning: the following techniques may cause dizziness, confusion, and spontaneous combustion.

Technique #1: The Art of Doing Nothing

Start by doing nothing for exactly 5 minutes. Yes, just sit in your chair and stare at the wall. Don't think about it, just do it.

After 5 minutes, reward yourself with a cookie. Not just any cookie, but a cookie that has been sitting on the counter for at least 3 days.

Technique #2: The Power of Distractions

Find a distraction that's not too distracting, but just distracting enough. Like watching cat videos or scrolling through social media. Do this for at least 2 hours.

After 2 hours, take a short break to do something else that's not too interesting. Like folding laundry or scrubbing the toilet.

Technique #3: The Science of Doing Nothing

Understand that procrastination is not just a skill, but a science. It's a complex interplay of neurons and hormones in the brain. So, don't just do nothing, study nothing.

Take a few minutes to read a book about the neuroscience of procrastination. Or, you know, just Google it. We won't judge you.
