The Lazy Man's Guide to Getting Things Done

What if I told you that you could be totally lazy and irresponsible, and still accomplish just as much? What if you could slack off, loiter, and essentially do nothing and get more done than the average person. It's a bit of an art, but you can master this skill with some practice.

Some of these things may seem like a lot of work up front, but that's the price you have to pay to lounge around all day.

I've discovered that it actually doesn't work for me to complete projects too SOON. If I have a deadline, I work to the deadline and nail it instead of trying to finish something ahead of time. I know a lot of people, as soon as they're assigned something, they try to finish it off right away -- usually an exercise in frustration in my experience but to each his or her own....

My lazy mans way of getting things done is to procrastinate until I eventually do them.

Hey - I know that guy on the couch!

I recognize the type. I happen to have a 30-year-old example living with me right now. He promised that he wouldn't be back home, and that it didn't matter what we did to his room when he moved out.

He's baaaack, and apparently we have wiped out all vestiges of his being by changing his room into a computer room (according to him). Also, according to him, it didn't take us long to get rid of his stuff. Well, he's part of his stuff. My question is, how much longer. I don't need a guide on how to get things DONE; I need a guide on how to get things GONE.

By the way, I didn't read the entire article, the picture said it all for me.

Sounds like good management.

Good advice for the office maybe, but it ain't gonna' get your socks washed or clean out the cat box.
