I remember when I thought being more efficient would result in less work.

The trick is to not let anyone know you're being too efficient. Automate an 8-hour job down to a minute, say you finished it in 7.

absolutely agree. do not hand in your results early. learned that in high school, the day i handed in the exercises for the week after a single day is when we all started to get more homework.

you must'a made the mistake of finishing something early or showing-off your 'optimizations'

The trick is to tell absolutely nobody then poke your mouse every few mins to make Teams think you're still online while playing games or reading. Or so I'm told.

place your mouse on a analog watch, trust me

That's pretty genius, and I happen to have one a foot away from where my mouse usually hangs out lol. I'll...tell my friend.
