Fine, I’ll admit it: I’m a slacker.

For Richard Linklater, who directed the Gen X cult film “Slackers”, that’s “somebody who’s not doing what’s expected of them. Somebody who's trying to live an interesting life, doing what they want to do, and if that takes time to find, so be it.”

For zensounds reader and fellow Substack slacker Justin Patrick Moore, “slacking off is a way to sidestep the rat race of meaningless work and the hamster wheel of 21st century busyness in favor of doing your own thing.”

Loving this essay which dives deep into why and how to slack.
