How Not to Do Anything: An Expert Guide – How Not to Be Relied On

Despite all of your finest efforts to shirk responsibility and lead a duty-free life, if you have any friends or family, you are constantly at risk of having someone try to foist some of their own well-earned obligations on you. Even if you diligently avoid the serious commitment of having a pet or a child, an aunt, neighbor, or friend can swoop in at any moment and ask you to be a good nephew/neighbor/friend and take care of their poodle or their daughter for anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. Such a request might appear perfectly reasonable to a “busy” person, since you seem to have so much time on your hands, but who are they to presume that you can act as their butler on a moment’s notice? You had some big, um, plans for this week.

Like most of the advice in this tome, the solution to this problem is rather obvious: if you don’t want to be relied on, simply be as unreliable as possible. Assure (“yeah, sure”) your neighbor that you’ll feed his fish each day that he’s away, but don’t worry too much about the details; fish don’t need to eat every day, and a week’s worth of food can be supplied at one time. If, God forbid, your neighbor’s fish tank were to turn into a noxious wastebowl, or an unlucky fish were to die, then you could rest easy knowing that you’d never again be asked to take care of anything for your neighbor.

At times when you can’t exactly blow off an inherited task, for instance, when you’re expected to watch a child, tardiness can be an excellent way of saying “don’t count on me” without doing anything really heinous or taking out your frustration on the child, who is of course not responsible for his or her own existence. Most parents will go so far as to give up on free babysitting if they can’t be sure that the babysitter (you) will show up even remotely on time. The really essential thing is not (necessarily) to do a terrible job whenever asked to do something for someone else, but to plant a sweet little seed of doubt in the minds of those who may try to foist a task on you. It shouldn’t be too hard to find someone who’s more reliable than you are.

How Not to Do Anything: An Expert Guide – How Not to Be Well-Read, and Remain Uninformed

Saturday, October 29th, 2016

Some of the most successful idlers are prone to expending vast amounts of time reading books or (let’s be realistic) the Internet, due to a desire to be the kind of person who reads widely and knows what’s going on in the world. Reading is as good a waste of time as anything else that no one is forced to do, and if that’s what you like to do when you’re doing nothing, more power to you. But to a true layabout, reading, or at least reading books or the news or just about anything that’s particularly serious, is a bit too much of a hassle.

For most of recorded history, reading was the best entertainment that could be found anywhere, at any time, and it was beloved of some of history and literature’s greatest loafers, like Aristotle and Hamlet. However, in today’s crowded entertainment marketplace, reading can’t compete. Even reading something as innocuous as the tabloids is infinitely more taxing than watching reality television, or having a tiny woman in a box on your computer screen tell you what it says in the tabloids. The internet is an immaculate solution to the problem of serious reading: not only can you pick from an incomprehensibly large selection of vacuous material, but you can even post your own most banal and meaningless thoughts. Which means that anyone with an internet connection can find a supply of asinine amusement that is literally limitless.

To those who aspire to the pinnacles of sluggardom, I recommend the following habits:

  • Abstain from all newspapers (and their websites), non-glossy magazines, and books not written by famous people. Basically, avoid anything that’s actually in print and isn’t colorful.
  • Get all of your news from celebrities’ twitter accounts.
  • Always go with the movie version.
  • Instead of reading canonical authors and books, read their wikipedia pages. (This trick works with less well-regarded books, too!)
  • If you disagree with your reading material, find something else to read.

How Not to Do Anything: An Expert Guide – How Not to Be a Force for Positive Change in Your Community

Saturday, October 22nd, 2016
Image Credit: http://bit.ly/2dGIYVQ

Image Credit: http://bit.ly/2dGIYVQ

No less venerable an American than Mohammed Ali once said, “Service to others is the payment you make for your space here on Earth.” That’s one way to look at it. “I never asked to be born; I don’t owe nobody shit,” is another (suggested by the rap duo Das Racist in their song, “I Don’t Owe Nobody Shit”). Whether your views on the subject of community service are closer to one or the other aforementioned, or completely different, chances are that you will not be doing much volunteering in the near (or distant) future. After all, volunteering, like visiting a museum or voting, is one of those things that nearly everyone shares a deep belief in doing, but seldom actually does.

As anyone who’s ever done some volunteering can tell you, it is generally dull, disheartening, and thankless work (since you don’t get paid to do it, duh). Unfortunately for breast cancer researchers and homeless people, even the most heartfelt gratitude of the nicest volunteer coordinator you’ll ever meet doesn’t really compare to the material satisfaction of cashing a check and then buying some clothing or electronics. Moreover, volunteering can be incredibly depressing, since the causes that require volunteers tend to be both pretty dire and underserviced. And only some people (do-gooders, masochists) enjoy that demoralizing tang.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you don’t have to change much of anything in order not to be a force for good in your community. But just in case you dabble in working for free, here are some alternative choices. When you want to see something intensely dispiriting, watch the new Holocaust movie, or read the World section of the newspaper. When you’re asked to lend a hand, inform your implorer that you’re late for your weekly nursing home tea time with Granny; that should quiet them up, and maybe even get you some encouragement, which is nice even if undeserved. And when you feel like a worthless, lazy waste of space, turn on some partisan cable news: you’ll find ample evidence of your own value as a person, in the form of commentators and politicians, whose central goals on this Earth seem to be to obtain the maximum number of fake tans and to terrify everyone else. You never even bother the neighbors.

How Not to Do Anything: An Expert Guide – How Not to Be Cool

Saturday, October 8th, 2016

For those living the languorous life, it can be tempting to consider yourself somehow superior to others due to your activity-free lifestyle and comparatively blithe, carefree existence. This is a thoroughly justified and righteous assessment to make. However, you have to be extremely careful not to take such judgements beyond their simplest, self-evident conclusions, and begin to consider yourself cool. Being cool has a lot of appeal to young people––it means that you somehow know better than your peers, without knowing anything at all, and it means that you get to have sex without necessarily having a job. But being cool, like having a real job or a girlfriend, takes nearly constant work.

Don’t be fooled by the false detachment of the coolest guy in the room: no matter how apathetic his mien, he is deeply invested in your perception of him in relation to everyone else. He feeds off your vision of him, which proves his coolness better than he ever could. What you need is true detachment, and you can’t have that unless you sincerely don’t care what the other people at the party think of you, since you aren’t invested in a cool self-image. Know that you are better than them, but pay no attention to whether or not they realize this. In fact, it’s better if they don’t.

In order to circumvent any hazard of coolness, I have an elegant solution: wear sweatpants. All the time. Sweatpants are incredibly comfortable and always cheap. You can wear them anywhere, including in bed, and best of all, there will never be any confusion as to whether or not you are cool. (This strategy is also highly effective when eluding employment and romantic entanglements.) While everyone else scrambles to adhere to the moment’s fashions, you can sit on the couch, complacent in your sweatpants. From far enough away, you look like a king on his throne, in robes of cheapest cotton.

How Not to Do Anything: An Expert Guide – How Not to Get a Job

Saturday, September 24th, 2016

Image Credit: http://www.gajizmo.com/5-reasons-you-are-still-unemployed/

If you play your cards right, you can avoid employment while enrolled in school, but as soon as you’re no longer a student, the pressure to get a job becomes increasingly difficult to withstand. After all, even doing nothing costs a little bit of money. And whether you live with friends or relatives, for some reason people generally don’t like to have lodgers with no income. So here are three methods of stirring up some cash while steering clear of the undue strain of gainful employment.

  • Find a corner of the social safety net and make yourself a nice little nest. Social programs may be unpopular today, but we have them in place to take care of those who are unfortunately, temporarily, or temperamentally unable to find work. Unemployment assistance and food stamps can go a long way towards staving off that existential disaster spelled J-O-B.
  • Sell your time in tiny slices. Did you know that at any research university, there are hundreds of grad students who could never get their degrees without paying people just like you to participate in their studies? Or that no new cereal box design goes into circulation without undergoing the vigorous examination of a paid focus group? You can often make several times minimum wage for a few hours of what can only loosely be called work, and you might even contribute to our understanding of the brain, or an improved Fruity Pebbles box!
  • Find a sugarmomma/-daddy. This is really your best shot at preempting the need to work. Since ancient times, boys and girls have dreamt of falling in love with the prince or princess so that they will never have to work again. It’s the ultimate fairy tale, and in a country as economically stratified as America, there could always be a dot-com wizard or hedge fund ace just around the corner, waiting to whisk you away to a life of endless leisure and decades-long naps.

How Not to Do Anything: An Expert Guide – How Not to Succeed in School

Saturday, September 17th, 2016

Image Credit: https://www.theodysseyonline.com/5-ways-make-most-short-study-breaks

The first great obstacle to doing nothing is quite formidable, but the challenge of evading activities in school can be a real learning experience. We all have to go to school, and we are then expected to do all kinds of things: interact with our peers, learn to read, learn to add and subtract, etc. etc. For most of us, the lifelong onslaught of to-do’s begins with school, which is why everyone hates it so much. Of course, the primary objective of the education system is to prepare children to become the kind of adults who contribute to society and to the nation’s tax base, and have just a terrible amount of responsibilities. This goal is directly opposed to yours, and it must not be achieved.

So when it comes to school, make absolutely certain that you do not excel to the point of getting more work, but at the same time be careful not to fall too far behind, or you might be in danger of getting a tutor. The most important thing is that none of your teachers think about you too much, whether as a favorite or a hated laggard or a class clown. The attention of teachers is a hazardous thing, leading only to more work, more time in school, or more attention, and it should be avoided at all costs.

In America, you have the right to drop out of school on your sixteenth birthday, but beware the consequences of doing so, tempting as it may be. Being done with school is wonderful, of course –– but after school comes a tidal wave of responsibilities, like making money and figuring out what to do after you’re done with school. So think long and hard on that sixteenth birthday: there’s a good chance that the demands of school are in fact a lot less onerous than those that come later, in real adult life. But I wouldn’t know too much about that.

How Not to Do Anything: An Expert Guide – Welcome to Unproductivity

Saturday, September 10th, 2016
Image Credit: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jobs/8849420/Give-firms-freedom-to-sack-unproductive-workers-leaked-Downing-Street-report-advises.html

Image Credit: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jobs/8849420/Give-firms-freedom-to-sack-unproductive-workers-leaked-Downing-Street-report-advises.html

For as long as I can remember, in the back of my mind I’ve had a long list of things that I should be doing. But the thing about this list is that it never stops growing. No matter how disciplined or organized I could possibly be, I could only chip away at the list, never complete it. If you’re reading this, I’d guess that you have a similar list of your own. Instead of trying, like Sisyphus, to overcome the great mental to-do list, why not make peace with it, accept that you won’t always have time to go grocery shopping and call your grandmother and do a load of laundry? Everyone has to learn to do this to a certain extent, but I’ve gone a step further.

I’ve learned to attack the problem at its source, and preempt as many responsibilities as possible, in order to prevent the big list from growing any more than it absolutely must. Thanks to the simple stratagems I’ve lain out in the following chapters, I rarely need to do much of anything, and I’m free to squander my days as I please. With a little pluck, you too could be as free of obligations as an early retiree, as free as me.

Gone will be the days of getting up early and working late, gone the nagging bosses and vexing coworkers, gone the interminable moments of friendly chitchat with acquaintances (well, maybe not the chitchat). Some may think you’ve lost it, or succumbed to mere laziness, but your choice to eschew activity means far more than that. If the rat race is a war, in which every individual is in perpetual battle with every other, then you are like a conscientious objector, declining to do violence (or anything else) to yourself or others just because you’re supposed to. While your peers pack the cities and suburbs with thoughtless ambition, you will burn the draft card calling you to the American Dream, and flee to a metaphorical Canada, where the people are nice and free and never have to work. So turn the page and prepare to change your life for the better, to free yourself of employment, (some) errands, and just about anything else that you don’t want to do.

How to Unwind and Find Catharsis in NYC: Museums

Wednesday, June 29th, 2016

Before I start, I’d like to give a quick shout out to the Campus Clipper. The Campus Clipper has been offering awesome student discounts in NYC, from the East Side to Greenwich Village. The company helps support students in so many ways, from their coupon booklet to their Official Student Guide. Now, on to the blog!

Free Museums

In the room the women come and go

Talking of Michelangelo

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot

 musuem2

 

New York City is full of thousands of ways to fill a day. But nowadays, intellectual hobbies have been suppressed by laziness, inconvenience, and the vastness of the Internet. People don’t bother going to see artwork when they can just see images on Google or blogs. But let me inconvenience you for a minute to say that you are wasting a fantastic opportunity to see priceless art all over the city, for free!

In addition, some of New York’s most famous museums have what is called Suggested Admission fees, where the hosts have a price that a museum guest should pay if they please. But keep in mind, these fees are optional, and you can give less, more, really whatever you want.

Some Museums with Suggested Admission Fees:

American Museum of Natural History

Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tibet House

Staten Island Museum

Don’t forget about Zoos and Gardens. Check out The Bronx Zoo and NY Botanical Garden, which neighbor each other in the Bronx, on Wednesdays when there is a great discount on admissions.

How to Unwind and Find Catharsis in NYC: Biking

Tuesday, June 21st, 2016

Before I start, I’d like to give a quick shout out to the Campus Clipper. The Campus Clipper has been offering awesome student discounts in NYC, from the East Side to Greenwich Village. The company helps support students in so many ways, from their coupon booklet to their Official Student Guide. Now, on to the blog!

Biking

 Full many a glorious morning have I seen Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy

William Shakespeare, Sonnet 33

It’s summertime, and it’s hot. But that doesn’t change the reality that taking cabs around Manhattan is growing excessively expensive by the month. Also, at times public transportation is just too slow and unreliable. While walking everywhere may be lovely for some, it is quite slow. So why don’t you give biking around the city a shot?

I’ve been biking in Manhattan for years, and I have to say it is my absolute favorite method of transportation. At first, it is a little unnerving: the aggressive drivers, the crowded intersections, and sometimes roads riddled with potholes. But once you get used to riding around NYC it can be one of the fastest, cheapest, and pleasurable ways to get around. Just get yourself a quality lock and throw your bike on really any pole on any sidewalk.

tips-for-surviving-on-a-bike-in-new-york-city

New York City has plenty of groups that try to enhance the biking lifestyle. Biking is healthy as a form of cardiovascular exercise, and it is much more efficient for the environment than cars, buses, or motorcycles.

Remember, biking is a practical way to get about anywhere: class, work, a friend’s house, a park, or just biking for leisure.

If you’re not ready for the commitment of purchasing your own bike and padlock, take advantage of the Citi Bike program, which provides bikes all over Manhattan and some parts of Brooklyn and Queens. Rent a bike for a day or just a few hours; it’s super convenient.

How to Unwind and Find Catharsis in NYC: Running

Tuesday, June 14th, 2016

Before I start, I’d like to give a quick shout out to the Campus Clipper. The Campus Clipper has been offering awesome student discounts in NYC, from the East Side to Greenwich Village. The company helps support students in so many ways, from their coupon booklet to their Official Student Guide. Now, on to the blog!

Running

As I came over Windy Gap
They threw a halfpenny into my cap.
For I am running to paradise

-William Butler Yeats, from “Running to Paradise”

run

Since I started college, one of the hardest things for me to do is simply go for a run. I used to do it all the time, what happened?

The unfortunate truth about running is that once you stop, it’s hard to get going again. It becomes easy to just sit around with friends or playing around on your computer. We begin making excuses, insisting that we don’t have time for exercise, when in reality going for a run can still be effective if you only run for 20 minutes. On the flipside, however, once you get used to running again, it is one of the most liberating and efficient methods of exercise. All you need is a pair of decent sneakers, athletic clothing and, if you like, some music (hyperlink: http://runningplaylist.net/).

Running can be fun for some, but treacherous for others. The panting, the sweating, the pounding, it’s not for everyone. But if you fear the pain of running and, as soon as you start, find yourself wanting to quit, consider the benefits. Besides the obvious healthiness of burning calories and improving your physical condition, it has been scientifically proven that running makes you feel good. This article in the New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/27/health/nutrition/27best.html) explains the Runner’s High, a sensation that has been compared to euphoria and general lightness. My friend once said, “Running is the opposite of getting drunk: you feel awful during, and amazing after.” This is where the relaxation comes in: taking a long shower and plopping down on the couch after going for a run can be jubilant. And you’ll feel like you’ve finally earned this relaxation.

Note: top places to run in NYC: http://www.forbes.com/sites/fathom/2013/11/06/the-6-best-running-routes-in-new-york-city/#76f6e59d723c

Some of my favorites include Central Park and the East End Boardwalk.

Note: for those who find running physically impossible due to health issues or past injures, taking long walks is also valuable for clearing your mind on a nice day. To motivate yourself to go running, go out and treat yourself to some new running sneakers. If you truly dedicate yourself to running, the cost of the shoes will be worth it with your end results of a healthier, happier, and more relaxed self.
