Picture this: I'd enter the International Championship of Absolute Stillness, a competition so niche that even the judges communicate only through interpretive eyebrow movements. My winning strategy? I'd achieve what I call "quantum laziness" - a state where I'm simultaneously doing nothing AND less than nothing. Here's how:
First, I'd train my body to enter a hibernation mode so profound that my metabolism would slow to match that of a particularly unmotivated sloth on vacation. My breathing would become so shallow that nearby plants would start complaining about the lack of CO2.
During the competition, I'd position myself in a beanbag chair that's been scientifically engineered to absorb all ambition within a three-foot radius. I'd stare at a blank wall with such intensity that the wall itself would become uncomfortable and look away first.
The judges would be astounded as I achieve negative productivity - somehow, by doing absolutely nothing, tasks in the building would spontaneously un-complete themselves. Completed spreadsheets would revert to blank templates. Sent emails would un-send. The coffee in the break room would un-brew itself back into beans.
My competitors would try to out-nothing me, but they'd make the fatal mistake of trying. I wouldn't even try to not try. I'd simply exist in a state of pure, unfiltered nothingness so complete that philosophers would write dissertations about whether I was actually there at all.
The prize? A trophy I'd never pick up, naturally.πΆβπ«οΈ
