I am a slacker, in point of fact, everything I do or have done since I was a teen in the early 90's has been in order to achieve the ultimate in Slack. I focused on slack before even knowing there is a satirical religion dedicated to the achievement of Slack, I quickly read everything on them. I determined I am just to lazy to bother with their kind, to much dedication to something that is not as important to me as kicking back and finding more localized reasons to smile. My work ethic revolves around the idea that it is better to work smart then hard, and I look for the cheapest ways to live a comfortable life so that even in the most dire of financial situations I will always be able to slack without any repercussions.
Now I am sure this paints a picture that I am just lazy and do nothing as much as possible, and in some cases you would be correct. However I have found it is a very productive mindset to have as well, in being motivated to both be cheap, and find the Ultimate Slack, I have spent extensive amounts of time reading and learning DIY skills and random bits of knowledge that will give me a better understanding of our world. I fix everything I can myself in order to keep costs as low as possible, I buy used bicycles, computers, cameras, etc.
My goal to achieve this Ultimate Slack opened my mind many years ago to the world of shortcuts we now refer to as "Hacks", I love that word because it strips the laziness away from it and makes it acceptable to the rest of the worlds input of ideas, convincing others to do some of the thinking for me. if you really look at the thinking process that goes into any hacks out there today, it's entire purpose is to make something easier, and more efficient, bringing us back full circle. I'll find the motivation to add more latter to this thought process and maybe share some of the methods to my madness in the future, till then.
