The Tenets of Inaction

By the Prophet of Procrastination

The Tenets of Inaction are a collection of sacred principles that govern the art of doing nothing in a world that demands productivity.

• Principle 1: The Inaction Paradox
• Subprinciple 1.1: Apathy is not a strategy, it's a lifestyle.
• Subprinciple 1.2: Procrastination is not a vice, it's a skill.
• Principle 2: The Power of Distraction
• Subprinciple 2.1: The art of finding meaning in cat videos.
• Subprinciple 2.2: The ancient art of rearranging deck chairs.
• Principle 3: The Inertial Force
• Subprinciple 3.1: The law of conservation of momentum (or, why get up if it's not necessary).
• Subprinciple 3.2: The principle of minimum effort (or, if it's not worth doing, don't do it).
