The Phantom Paperwork Burden

Chapter 1: The Art of Doing Nothing

In a world where productivity is king, we've managed to create an entire industry dedicated to making nothing. And we're not talking about the art of procrastination, we're talking about the science.

Avoiding actual work is a skill that requires finesse, patience, and a healthy dose of apathy. It's a delicate dance between appearing busy and actually doing nothing.

Here's a step-by-step guide to master this ancient art:

• Step 1: Create an impressive-sounding to-do list.
• Step 2: Spend 5 hours making the list, and only the list.
• Step 3: Use the list as a crutch for actual work.
• Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3, ad infinitum.
