"Successfully Wasting Time" is your ultimate guide to mastering the art of workplace productivity through increasingly sophisticated ways of avoiding actual work. This savage collection of 100 quotes perfectly captures the chaos of modern work culture – where your Pomodoro timer mainly tracks coffee breaks, and your task management system has more layers than your morning coffee order.
Inside this efficiency guide (that you'll probably read while avoiding a two-minute task), discover how to:
Transform your digital workspace into a museum of abandoned to-do lists
Perfect the art of turning inbox zero into "inbox 126 new folders called 'Sort Later'"
Master workflow optimization by spending three hours automating a ten-minute task
Achieve peak project management by creating a fifth quadrant called "Tasks I'm Actively Avoiding"
Perfect for:
Productivity hackers who have more planning apps than completed tasks
Time blocking enthusiasts whose only consistent block is "reorganize blocks"
Task prioritization experts who excel at prioritizing prioritization
Remote workers whose focus time primarily focuses on focus tool configuration
Warning: Reading this book counts as "professional development" – technically. Side effects may include uncomfortable recognition, excessive nodding, and the irresistible urge to create a productivity system to track how much time you spend reading about productivity.
Note: This book pairs perfectly with your collection of unread self-improvement books and partially started habit trackers. No refunds, but feel free to add "buy refund policy template" to your ever-growing task list!
