Welcome to Nothing - the ultimate rogue-like game about failure. In this unique journey, every instance of failure is not just an outcome, but a reward. Each time you fail at doing something, you'll be endowed with valuable insights to enhance your skills in doing nothing.

Remember, the core principle here is to relentlessly do nothing. After your initial failure, take stock of how you spent your time. Then, leverage that knowledge to refine and perfect the art of doing absolutely nothing.

Replay conversations in your mind, wondering what you could have said differently. Mull over past decisions, imagining alternative outcomes. This endless cycle of dwelling on the past ensures a solid commitment to doing absolutely nothing in the present.

Make a detailed to-do list in your head of all the things you could be doing instead of nothing. Rank them in order of importance, then systematically ignore each task, reveling in your ability to postpone productivity.

Adopt a philosophical mindset and ponder life's unanswerable questions. Think about why the sky is blue, what happens after life, or what your pet might say if it could talk. These deep thoughts are a perfect way to be lost in your mind, effectively anchored in inactivity.

Worry about everything and anything. From global issues to the laundry you're not doing, let anxiety be your guide into a world of endless concern. This heightened state of worry ensures you're too preoccupied to do anything productive.

Let your imagination run wild with fears, both rational and irrational. Be scared of the unknown, the known, and everything in between. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of the dark, or even fear of doing nothing – all contribute to a state of paralysing inaction.

Master the art of distraction in its purest form. For instance, find yourself gazing out the window, fixating on trivial happenings like a dog passing by or leaves rustling in the wind. Let your mind drift in this simple, aimless observation. The key is to become so absorbed in these mundane sights that you forget your initial intentions, effectively achieving a state of blissful inactivity. It’s not just about being distracted; it's about letting those distractions lead you into the serene realm of doing absolutely nothing.

What's your dog, cat, child or grass up to? Imagine the worst and get caught up in these thoughts instead of checking on them. Stay put and worry, embracing the art of doing nothing while your mind races with possibilities.

Engage in endless loops of overthinking even the simplest decisions. Ponder over whether you should get up to drink water or just stay put. Debate the pros and cons in your head until you've effectively done nothing.

Ponder the meaning of life, the universe, and everything in it. Get lost in thoughts about why you are here and what your purpose is, only to realise you have no purpose. In fact, doing nothing is your greatest achievement.

Let your mind wander into fantastical scenarios where you're the hero, a celebrity, or even a different species. Get so caught up in your daydream that you fail to participate in real life.

Don't let anyone stop you from doing nothing. Tune out when someone is talking to you. Nod along, but don't actually listen. When they ask for your opinion, realise you have no idea what they said and have effectively accomplished nothing in the conversation.

Combining Techniques for Maximum Inactivity:

Now that you have a robust set of skills, combine these techniques. Start with overthinking your procrastination, then ease into a daydreaming, occasionally interrupting it with existential questions. If someone tries to talk to you, engage in selective hearing. Throughout, maintain a background level of anxiety, fear, and distraction.
