How to be Irresponsible

After a long year of working hard and thinking way too much, we all reach the point where we just want to shut off our brains and not do anything. Even if we still have obligations that we must uphold, sometimes you just want to say “Fuck it! I’m just going to lie in bed and be counter-productive!” This mentality will inevitably turn around and bite us in the ass but in the moment it feels great!

What people don’t realize though is that it’s harder than you think to be irresponsible. You have to really try and make the conscious decision to be that way. Below please find the proper steps to take if you wish to be careless with your life.

1.) Drink on a weeknight.

If you are out of college this is no longer acceptable behavior. I even have3 a hard time accepting this, but if you are a grown up, you have to act accordingly. If you are an adult with a job, I can guarantee that the quality of your work after drinking will drastically deteriorate. As someone who once went to the completely wrong meeting because I thought it was Thursday instead of Wednesday, I can promise you that partying on a week night is never a good idea!

2.) Completely disregard the fact that you have tasks to take care of for the day.

You have to fully recognize that you have business to take care of and actively dismiss these thoughts to do something completely useless. Maybe you have homework due tomorrow or a blog post to write but you decide to go to Taco Tuesday or Thirsty Thursday instead of doing what you are supposed to do.

3.) Stop paying attention to detail and neglect simple yet important tasks.
For your convenience, I have listed some small tasks that can have big consequences if you decide to be reckless.

-- Locking the door when you leave the house
-- Making sure you did not accidentally lock your cat in the bathroom before you left the house.
-- Making sure you turned off your flat iron before you leave the house
-- Making sure your house is not going to completely burn down in your absence.

I hope these steps have been helpful in allowing you to be irresponsible in a more efficient manner.
