This is something Xephyris and I have been working on for a while. It needs quite a bit of work.



X habits of highly slack people



1. Procrastination

Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow?
If anything was worth doing, it'd have been done already

2. Cutting Corners

What they don't know won't hurt them.
Why do anything that doesn't actually need doing?
If it really needed to be done, then you must have done it already.

3. Get others to do the work

Why work when others can do the work for you?
The delegation of responsibility is an important skill.

4. Wait until other people do the work
Patience is a virtue.
If a job is worth doing, then get someone in to do it properly.

5. Pass off other people's work as your own
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
If someone has taken the trouble to do something well, why waste the effort?
