How To Be Lazy

How To Be Lazy

Axes: positive or negative value, fun/not fun to do.

  • Don’t do what doesn’t yield value.
  • Tom Sawyer Land: Delegate what you don’t like to do yourself. Create options for that with coffee connections.
  • Ruthless Efficiency: Be the best here, make sure work doesn’t come back.
  • Paid Entertainment: This is where you want to spend most of your time.

This surely works for me. Thanks, Chris. Everyone: Go test it and: Enjoy!.
