🚨 How to Survive Inefficient People Without Losing Your Damn Mind 🚨
Welcome to the battlefield, soldier. You’re a fast mover, a list-dominator, a master of getting sh*t done…
And then—BAM—life hits you with a human roadblock: the Inefficient Person™.
You know the type:
☑️ Late to everything.
☑️ Forgets things you JUST explained.
☑️ Makes easy stuff ten times harder.
Before you quit your job, block everyone, or move to a desert island, here’s your survival guide.
🧨 Step 1: Accept the Tragic Truth
The world runs on barely organized chaos. Efficient people are the minority. Everyone else is winging it while you run the world. Accept it = less rage.
📝 Step 2: Play the Game, Win the Day
Want things done?
- Give deadlines, not suggestions (“I need this by noon” not “whenever works”).
- Chunk instructions like you’re talking to a toddler, e.g., “Do A, then B, ignore C.”
- Pre-empt disaster by double-checking. It feels patronizing, but it works.
😈 Step 3: Don’t Get Sucked Into the Chaos
Their emergency = not your emergency. If they’re panicking because they forgot something, stay cool. Smile. Sip tea. Let them scramble—you’ve done your part.
💀 Step 4: Protect Your Sanity
- Mute the nonsense. Earphones in. “Working on something urgent” mode activated.
- Document EVERYTHING. Emails, messages, screenshots—cover your efficient butt.
- Vent, don’t explode. Send memes to your favourite person. Laugh about it. Stay classy.
🌟 Step 5: Lean Into Your Efficiency Superpower
Efficient people secretly run the world. You make things happen. You’re five steps ahead. You’re the reason things don’t burn down. Remember that—and work smarter, not harder.
🎁 Pro Tip Bonus Round:
If you can’t fix them, train them—or build a system that doesn’t rely on them.
Or… at least draft your escape plan to work with people who get things DONE.
