Bare Minimum Technique
The Bare Minimum Technique is the art of doing the least amount of work necessary to achieve a goal.
It's like the old adage goes: "If you're not paying your rent, just send a nice postcard."
Here's how to implement it in your daily life:
- Only show up to 50% of the required effort.
- Use the phrase "I'll get to it eventually" as a valid excuse.
- Set reminders, but don't actually look at them.
- Blame it on someone else when things don't work out.
Sub-Techniques:
Side effect of using the Bare Minimum Technique: occasional existential dread, increased risk of being a slacker.
