In this technique, you will learn the delicate balance of achieving nothingness while still appearing productive. It's like a fine art, really.
Step 1: Create a to-do list with an endless list of tasks that are completely unfeasible.
This will give you the appearance of being busy while in reality, you're doing nothing.
Step 2: Set up a complex system of notifications and reminders for tasks that don't exist.
This will make you feel like you're on top of things, even when you're not.
Step 3: Practice the ancient art of "procrastination by distraction."
This is a powerful technique that involves finding a distraction and focusing on it intensely, while pretending to work on something else.
Remember, the key to this technique is to appear busy, but not actually do anything.
