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:

  1. Only show up to 50% of the required effort.
  2. Use the phrase "I'll get to it eventually" as a valid excuse.
  3. Set reminders, but don't actually look at them.
  4. Blame it on someone else when things don't work out.

Side effect of using the Bare Minimum Technique: occasional existential dread, increased risk of being a slacker.
