Techniques for the Utterly Inept

Chapter 1: Am I a failure?

Are you a human who has ever felt like a failure? Like, all the time?

Don't worry, friend, you're in good company!

Here's a technique for you: Technique 4: The Art of Procrastination - a delicate balance of doing nothing and doing everything.

It's all about creating a to-do list that's just long enough to be intimidating, but not so long it's actually worth doing anything.

Example:

• Make a list of 17 tasks to do before bed.
• Do 2 of them.
• Feel vaguely guilty and anxious about not having done anything else.
• Say 'tomorrow' will be better, but somehow it's never tomorrow.
