Unleashing Your Full Potential: The Art of Strategic Slacking

Posted on by careyourpresent

Art of Slacking

Slacking is an art, not a science. It’s a mental exercise while taking physical action. One should learn to Let It Go like Elsa and only focus on things that really matters to you (What will you bring with you on last day on Earth). It’s difficult but it is essential for your better mental well being.

It’s difficult to Slack

Since young, I don’t know how to slack. I feel bad not doing homework, not following instructions of teachers.

When working, I feel bad to take medical leave, or even my own leaves even I have finished all my work. I tend to go and check emails etc.

It’s difficult to slack but it is important to learn how to slack!

Work from Home Trend

However, the sad truth is, no matter even one work at late nights, weekends, there are still colleagues, bosses, employers that suspect that you are working hard enough. Given the recent trend of some days working from home, people always suspect if you are really working when one is working at home.

Sadly, they don’t see that if they give more flexibility for people to work from home, people are more willing to take some time from their nights/weekends to finish the work that is essential to finish by certain time as they can plan their time better.

Like some need to take some time to cook lunch example for kids and parents and as a result they can’t finish work, they would squeeze time elsewhere to complete it.

Conversely if employers want an employee to be in office all the time from 9 to 6, only their physical will be here but mind is not here. After 6pm, they will ignore you. Productivity sure drop.

Strategically Slacking

The world is full of advice on how to be more productive. However, I think that the most important skill you can develop as a student or professional is actually learning how to slack strategically.

Strategic slacking allows you to rest and relax while still keeping up with work, which means you’ll be more productive in the long run. The below will show you how to get started with strategic slacking so that you can feel less stress and more focused on what matters most in your life.

What is strategic slacking?

Strategic slacking is a way to be productive and relax at the same time. It’s about doing the work that matters most to you, not just being busy so people think you’re working hard.

Strategic slacking is all about taking time out of your day for what matters most: spending time with family or friends; learning something new; exercising; reading; cooking delicious food; going on adventures (both real-world ones and virtual ones), etc!

Strategic slacking is about doing the work that matters.

It’s not about doing nothing, wasting time or procrastinating. Strategic slacking allows you to stay focused on what’s important, while still giving yourself space to rest and recharge when needed.

Strategic Slackers know that sometimes, less is more.

When you’re a Strategic Slacker, you know that sometimes less is more.

The idea of “less is more” can be applied to everything from your wardrobe to how many hours you sleep each night (and even how much time you spend on Facebook). It’s about focus and prioritizing what matters most. As sayings go: “If I don’t have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?”

Strategic Slackers know that sometimes less is more because they’ve learned through experience that doing everything at once just leads to burnout; instead of being productive and getting things done, we end up spending all day fiddling around somewhere in between our tasks instead of actually finishing anything at all!

Strategic slacking means making time for what matters most to you.

Strategic slacking is about making time for what matters most to you, and it’s not just about being less busy. In fact, strategic slacking can help you be more productive by allowing you to focus on the tasks at hand without feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety.

The trick is knowing how much slack is enough so that we can get things done without feeling guilty about not working hard enough–or worse yet–feeling like we need another cup of coffee just so we don’t fall asleep at our desks!

You can use strategic slacking to be productive and relax at the same time.

When you’re working, it’s important to focus on what matters most. But when you need a break from work, make sure that your time off is spent in ways that will help you recharge and get back into the flow of things with more energy than before.

If possible, try taking breaks during times when your mind is naturally inclined toward relaxation–for example, if you tend to feel sleepy after lunch or dinner each day (but before bedtime), then consider scheduling some time then for strategic slacking instead of forcing yourself through an afternoon slump with coffee or energy drinks.

Or perhaps there’s an activity that always makes you feel relaxed: reading or listening to music could be perfect options if those things appeal most strongly when they’re done alone without any distractions around them!

Slacking can be good…if you do it strategically

Slacking is not always a bad thing. In fact, it can be a very good thing–if you do it strategically.

Slacking means relaxing and taking time off from your work to recharge yourself before returning to the task at hand with renewed energy. This is why many people take vacations: they want some time away from their regular routine so that when they get back home or wherever else they go, they’ll be able to focus more effectively on their job responsibilities and do more work in less time than if they hadn’t taken any breaks at all!

In addition to helping us achieve our personal goals of getting more done faster (which we’ll talk about later), slacking also has some surprising health benefits too!

Studies have shown that people who regularly relax tend live longer lives than those who don’t take breaks during long periods of intense concentration; this may sound counterintuitive but think about it… If all day every day were spent working furiously without stopping for food/sleep/fun activities then wouldn’t we eventually get burned out?

Wouldn’t our bodies break down under such extreme stress levels?

Of course, they would! But luckily there are ways around this problem: simply by taking 10-minute breaks throughout each day–even if just once per hour–we can help avoid these negative effects while also improving our mental state overall!

Strategic Slacking, a way of better life

In short, strategic slacking is about doing the work that matters most to you. If you’re looking for a way to get more done and relax at the same time, then this might be the right approach for you.

Good articles that you should read!

People are drawn to dividend investing.

Why? Firstly, dividends provide a regular stream of income, allowing investors to receive a portion of the company’s profits on a periodic basis. This can be particularly attractive for individuals seeking consistent cash flow or looking to supplement their existing income. Additionally, dividend investing is often viewed as a more stable and predictable investment strategy compared to relying solely on capital appreciation.

I always write and share articles, especially on dividends which many people love them. Do read them!

Alternatively, you can go the right side of my page, there is a search bar where you can simply search “dividend” to see all my articles related to dividends!

Of course, you can search for other things that would interest you such as “Careyourpresent”, “Reits”, “Side Hustles”, “Fixed Incomes”, “Savings” etc.

CAREYOURPRESENT

Money just buy you the chance of freedom.

When you are young and working, you exchange time for money. When you are old, you can have lots of money but you can’t buy time back, especially the things that you have missed while busying striking out in career. Of course, if you love your career, and consciously know that you are missing out the first time your child walk or talk, that’s ok, but if you are the other spectrum, please do something about it.

Your kids grew up and they no longer need you to accompany them. They no longer want to sit on your lap to share/do things with you…all these time you spent in your 9 to 6 or even longer cubicles…can the money that you have earned by you back these?

We always thought we have more time with our old parents, but we are wrong. Time with them is ticking away every day. One day it will suddenly be gone. There is no regret medicine, no reset in time. Gone is gone and cannot come back. No matter you are billionaires or millionaires, you cannot reset this.

We always thought that we have more time with our spouse every day, but we are wrong. One day they will be gone too. When you read this, please go tell your spouse that you love him/her and he or she is the best thing that you ever had in your life.

I have picked out some of the more life reflecting articles of the CAREYOURPRESENT series. Do read them:

Time is ticking away.

For each passing day,

Enjoy and Treasure your Life!
