Embrace LAZINESS

In school, my friend always walks into my dorm during peak scroll mode. “You’re not even studying,” he says. Classic rookie mistake. Wasting time is an art—and I’ve perfected it.

• Step one: look busy doing absolutely nothing.
• Step two: convince yourself it’s part of the process.
• Step three: when judged, say, “You don’t know what I do when you’re not around.” (Mysterious. Powerful.)

Truth is, maybe I do read when no one’s watching. Or maybe I’m just giving my brain the break it didn’t know it needed. Not everything has to be productive to be useful.

So yeah, I waste time. But I do it with flair.
