how to look productive without actually being it

Okay besties, real talk. My brain is soup and my energy is on 'low battery' mode 24/7, but my profs/boss think I'm out here grinding like a LinkedIn influencer. I need to maintain the illusion of being a ✨productive queen✨ without actually, you know, doing much. Spill the tea! What are your go-to low-effort, high-impact tips for looking busy AF? #LazyGenius #FakeProductivity #GenZProblems #SendHelp #WorkLifeBalanceWho #MondaysAreAMyth

OMG YES. My go-to is always having like, 5 'important' looking tabs open (bonus points if one is a spreadsheet) and my notes app open, even if I'm literally just watching TikTok on my phone underneath the desk. The *aesthetic* of being busy is key 💀

@milatorrz

understood the assignment! For me, it's the big coffee mug (usually empty), a messy bun that looks 'I've been working so hard I forgot to brush my hair,' and responding to emails at weird hours (pre-scheduled, obvs). It's all about that 'I'm totally swamped but dedicated' vibe.
