The 5-4-7 Technique for Doing Absolutely Nothing

Also known as the "Doing Nothing Method" or "The Art of Procrastination through Extreme Focus," the 5-4-7 technique is a powerful tool for maximizing productivity by minimizing effort.

How it Works

Here's the basic principle:

• Set a timer for 5 minutes.
• Do absolutely nothing during those 5 minutes. No browsing the internet, no checking email, no making a cup of coffee.
• When the timer goes off, take a 4-minute break.
• During that 4-minute break, do something marginally productive, like stretch your legs or make a funny face in the mirror.
• When the break is over, repeat the cycle, incrementing the time by 7 minutes each round.

By following this cycle, you'll find yourself accomplishing nothing at an alarming rate!
